You are requested to co-operate with the Floor Wardens so as to ensure a swift evacuation of the School's buildings.

The duties of the Floor Wardens in an emergency situation are as follows:

  1. On hearing the alarms the wardens will instruct all persons to leave the buildings by the most practical route, ensuring that lifts are not to be used.
  2. The Building Emergency Controller (BEC) Esther Mcconnell will locate source of the alarm if possible and direct the Fire Brigade if necessary.
  3. Within their designated areas Floor Wardens will inspect all rooms (including toilets etc) confirming total evacuation and checking that smoke and fire doors have been closed.
  4. When they are satisfied that their area is clear they will report personally to the Deputy BEC, Richard Mathys outside the entrance of the Old Building.
