¹û¶³Ó°Ôº

The following procedures apply to ¹û¶³Ó°Ôº's main Bloomsbury campus, defined as all buildings except those of the postgraduate medical institutes and sites away from central London.

Before leaving on Wednesday 12 April, laboratory superintendents and others (where appropriate), unless otherwise instructed by the Head of Department, should ensure that:

• All lights and heaters are switched off in their department.
• All gas and water taps are turned off and that hoses connecting apparatus to water taps are securely wired, both to the water supply and to the apparatus.
• The ¹û¶³Ó°Ôº Security Office has received a copy of a list of places, such as laboratories with constant operating equipment or where there is a possible danger from flooding or fire, by 12pm on Monday 10 April.
• The ¹û¶³Ó°Ôº Security Office has received written details of persons who can be contacted in cases of emergency (other than those already on the Control Room database) by 12pm on Monday 10 April.

Heads of Departments are asked to bring the contents of this message to the attention of members of their department and to remind them of the need to take care when working during periods of closure, and that any procedures that have been assessed as having a significant level of risk should not be carried out by persons working alone.

We would like to stress the importance for individuals to maintain internal security within their departments. Any incident that appears suspicious should be reported to the ¹û¶³Ó°Ôº Security Control Room on the ¹û¶³Ó°Ôº emergency number - 222.
