When a flood is encountered, the following procedure should be employed:
1. Turn off water at source if possible.
2. Isolate electrical sources at the switch board if possible, or call the Workshop on 46489.
3. If available and considered useful, local spill kits should be used to restrict the flow of water.
4. Isolate area by closing doors.
5. If the flood occurs after normal hours, call security on 8344 6666 and maintenance on 8344 6000.
6. Consider evacuation:
- Partial evacuation of floor by word of mouth
- Building evacuation - initiated by pressing a break glass alarm. (This alerts the Building Evacuation Team, and in most building also alerts the fire brigade and Maintenance)
