  35. Health & Safety for Computing Students • Computing Laboratory • University of Kent

  36. Fire Safety Fire alarm within the Computing Laboratory is a loud bell that • sounds continuously if fire is nearby • sounds intermittently if fire is elsewhere in building

  37. On hearing a fire alarm • Close windows • Leave building by nearest exit • Close doors behind you • Don’t use the lift • Assemble in front of Rutherford College • Don’t re-enter building until authorised

  38. Wheelchair users • There is a clearly signposted "Safe Area" in the upper Octagon where you may safely stay if there is a fire elsewhere in the building. • Nearby there is Help Point (an intercom) connected directly to Campus Watch that allows you to notify them of your presence. They will then pass this information on the the fire service who will arrange for your safe evacuation.

  39. If you discover a fire . . . • First, set off alarm (by breaking “glass” of a call point) • Then phone 3333 to give details of location • Finally, you can tackle the fire, but only if it is safe for you to do so • Personal safety (not property) is paramount!

  40. Fire Extinguishers • All fire extinguishers have a red body, with words indicating their type • Types include Water Foam Powder Carbon dioxide • Do not use “wet” extinguishers (i.e., Water or Foam) on electrical equipment

  41. Accidents • Can phone for an ambulance on 3333 • Five qualified first-aid people in the building • Contactable via Reception • First-aid kit available from Reception • All accidents (even minor ones!) must be reported straightaway • Use green form (from Reception)

  42. Work-related ill health • RSI (repetitive stress injury, from use of keyboard) is common • Contact Reception for advice if you have any problems. Don’t delay! No smoking policy • No smoking is allowed anywhere within Computing Laboratory building

  43. Finally . . . • Comprehensive advice on all aspects of health & safety is available via the web at http://www.kent.ac.uk/safety Any problems/concerns: • Pass them on to your student Year Rep • Tell Reception about them

  44. Freshers’ Reception 4:15pm Today You are all invited to a drinks reception to meet staff and other students 4:15pm today Cornwallis Quad
