On discovering a Fire

Raise the alarm immediately by pressing one of the break glass units in the building. Evacuate the building by the closest exit.

Individuals with Disabilities

It is essential you have a personal evacuation plan (PEP) in place. Please arrange for this to be done as soon as you start working in the building. Please ensure one is carried out for any visitors with disabilities. Please ask the House Manager if you require guidance. Refuge areas are located on 1st floors at the top of each staircase, wait in this area and call for assistance if you are unable to exit the building in the event of an evacuation.

Fire Alarm

We have a weekly fire alarm which goes off between 9am - 10am every Wednesday. Please do not evacuate the building if the alarm goes off during this time unless the alarm rings for over 2 minutes solidly.

Non-emergency issues

If your issue or request can wait please email the House Manager - keziah@thetrampery.com and they will address it when on site. If there is another Trampery staff member in the building covering the space, please do get in touch with them.
