Evacuation of lecture halls/laboratories

During the evacuation of a lecture hall/laboratory, whether during drills or in the case of real emergencies, the students in the hall/laboratory shall be under the direct control of the lecturer concerned who shall be responsible for the orderly evacuation of the premises. The successful execution of an evacuation is dependent upon the full co-operation of everyone involved. The following suggestions are of particular importance:

  • Remain calm and do not panic.
  • Move quickly but do not run.
  • Do not use the lifts.
  • Use the main stairs or the fire-escape to get out of the building.
  • If the escape route is already filled with smoke, crouch as low as possible since there is more fresh air closer to the floor.
  • Avoid touching electrical equipment, switches and exposed wires.
