Evacuation
For exemple, evacuation alarms can sound in case of fire and gas leaks. The buildings/zones where the evacuation alarm does not sound do not need to be evacuated.
The university is not responsible for items left in the building in connection with an evacuation.
Do not re-enter a room where the evacuation alarm is still sounding or the warning lights are flashing. Stay in the assembly point until someone in charge announces that it is safe to re-enter the premises.
In case of evacuation:
- Take outer clothing/shoes if possible.
- Warn others and check if anyone needs help.
- If possible, close doors, windows and gas taps.
- Follow the evacuation sign to the nearest exit.
- Do not use the lift - take the stairs.
- Go to your assembly point, do not stop directly outside the front doors.
Fire
The fire alarm is triggered automatically by smoke detectors and sprinkler systems, or manually via an alarm button connected directly to the emergency services. Staff are alerted in the relevant corridor by red alarm bells. The buildings/zones where the evacuation alarm does not sound do not need to be evacuated.
The alarm controls various safety functions, such as shutting down the central gas system, closing fire cell doors, moving lifts to the ground floor, and opening doors with cross-readers.
To minimize the spread of fire, there are:
- Fire doors
- Fire compartment
- Central gas system
- Fire-resistant chemical storage
- The handling of gas cylinders is centralized. This takes place at the goods reception.
In case of fire:
- SAVE first those who are in obvious danger.
- ALARM the fire service by phone 112 or trough the call point.
- WARN others who are threathened by the fire. Notify the reception 4950
- EXTINGUISH the fire if it's possible
- EVACUATE make sure to put yourself and others in safety, according to the evacuation plan.
Surveillance
Surveillance at the BMC is carried out by the security company SECURITAS. Patrol is mainly done during non-working hours. Outside patrols are carried out by car and on foot. Inside patrols are also carried out with dogs. Patrols are carried out throughout the premises.
Contact the security company directly on the telephone number below if you need help, e.g. after a lockout or with other questions regarding security. In case of lockout, please note that the guard will only help the person in need if he/she can present a valid ID and access card. The guard will also escort the person into the departement and check whether he/she has access. If the guard determines that the individual is unauthorised, the person in question will be immediately escorted out of the BMC.
SECURITAS can be reached via the universitys' emergency number +46 18-471 25 00, which is manned around the clock. Via the emergency number you can reach the campus guards and the Duty Officer on standby.
