Fire
A fire alarm (signal sounds) is installed in the building and the alarm goes directly to the emergency services (112).
If the fire alarm sounds, evacuate the building according to posted signs and evacuation plans. Fire doors fitted with magnets close automatically to prevent the spread of fire and smoke.
At each stairwell there is an "Evacuation Point" with an emergency telephone where people with reduced mobility can call for assistance.
RESCUE - WARNING - ALARM - EXTINGUISH
• save yourself and others around you, but don't take too big risks yourself
• warn others who may be in danger
• alert the emergency services by calling 112
• extinguish the fire if possible
Fire-rated doors in corridors and on escape routes that are not equipped with magnets connected to the fire alarm must always be kept closed to prevent the spread of fire and smoke.
Escape routes / Assembly point
See evacuation plans in corridors.
Remember to never place things in the way that would prevent evacuation.
The stairwells are independent escape routes. Most workplaces can reach two stairwells. The escape routes, which are marked with green illuminated escape signs, must never be blocked. The green signs are always lit and have battery backup to illuminate even in the event of a power outage.
If the fire alarm is triggered, all personnel must leave the building, close all doors behind them and gather at the assembly point (see the respective evacuation plan). The personnel must report there to the evacuation recipient and leave their name and group affiliation or equivalent. No one may depart from the assembly point until this has been done.
Flammable equipment
Installation of flammable equipment or placement of gas cylinders with flammable gases may only take place after contacting Akademiska Hus, which in turn is required to notify the fire department.
As a user, you are responsible for ensuring that gas cylinders are labeled and that fire extinguishing equipment required for the operation is procured.
Personal and elevator alarms
The possibility of sending an emergency signal is available in elevators, disabled toilets and rest rooms. When the push button is held down for more than 15 seconds, a signal sounds outside the door and an alarm is sent to Akademiska Hus. After regular working hours, the alarm is sent to on-call staff or security guards. For elevators, an emergency telephone with voice communication is also installed.
Alarms from elevators are reset by operating personnel.
Coverage
Remember to lock your room when it is empty, and not to store items that could be stolen in the room.
At night, the building is guarded by security guards.
If you see people you don't know, ask who they are and what they are doing on the premises. Be prepared to show identification if you are on the premises, especially after office hours.
