Emergency Evacuation Procedures

Emergency Exits in all buildings here at the Institute of Technology Blanchardstown, Dublin are clearly marked with a green “running man”. These exits have either a pushbar or magnetic lock. In the event of a fire alarm activation, the magnetic lock will automatically release. The fire alarm is a continuous high-pitched ring. On hearing the evacuation alarm:

○ the last person to leave a room should close the door behind him / her if it is safe to do so. Do not lock the door and do not return for personal belongings

○ leave the building by the nearest emergency exit (note that this may not be the exit you normally use for access)

○ proceed to the assembly point in the carpark. ○ do not re-enter the building until authorised to do so by the Estates

Manager or his authorized representative.○ cooperate with Caretakers and Security and follow their instructions during

an alarm activation

Failure to comply with Evacuation Procedures is a disciplinary offence.
