Emergencies
Emergency evacuation
Each University building is required to undertake two emergency evacuation drills per year. On hearing the fire bell or evacuation tone in the building:
- you must exit the building via the nearest emergency exit and proceed to the assembly area as directed by the Building Warden
- you must not enter any building whilst the fire bell or evacuation tones are being sounded.
Building Wardens/Floor Wardens can be identified by their red or yellow bump cap, or in Bendigo by a tabard.
Please note: All University buildings and University vehicles are no-smoking zones.
