Security have just mentioned that a Cardex upgrade has resulted in the stairs not being accessible to go up in the PJH building and some other buildings on campus. You can still come DOWN the stairs. They will let us know when the problem has been fixed.

Security have advised that the problem has now been fixed.

**Update. All doors level 2-level 11 were locked this evening. Was doing the headcount and could not go down the stairs as per my usual method. Security called and doors were opened as need to be opened for evacuation purposes. Two security guards came and checked the doors were opened and said that the doors were open according to their system. There may be an issue in the morning (but may not) if the doors do not open at 8:30am.
Thanks very much, Wendy. We need to submit an Assura Safety Observation regarding this as it could be a safety issue in the event of an emergency. (A Security told us yesterday, when they advised us of the Cardax problem, that in an emergency evacuation all doors will unlock automatically, but I have logged an Assura Safety Observation just to be on the safe side). If anything like this happens again, please submit an Assura event as well as contacting Security.
Isabella and I checked the doors to the east and west stairs this morning and they are all working again, but we noticed that several are not closing completely, so I have logged a BEIMs job (R0184607) about that.
