Hi all

In an emergency evacuation that is triggered by a fire alarm, the emergency exit doors that are normally locked will release to allow free exit from the building. The doors re lock when the alarms are turned off and re set.

It may be the case that a building evacuation is required in a situation where the evacuation is not triggered by a fire alarm e.g. power cut. In situations such as this the evacuation exit doors will remain locked. In circumstances such as these, staff should not hesitate to use the Emergency Door Release button to exit a floor or building.

Please let your building warden, or me, know if you have any questions,
Thanks
Isabel
