Automatic fire alarm
Evacuation alarms in case of fire are triggered via smoke detectors placed in escape routes and in spaces where many people gather. Triggered alarm, i.e. signal to evacuate, given via alarms throughout the house and red flashing lights in parts of the house.
Triggered alarms go to SOS and Akademiska Hus, otherwise call 112. Limit the source of the fire by closing windows and doors.
You can manually trigger the evacuation alarm using push buttons in connection with the escape routes.
Sprinkler
The entire house is equipped with sprinklers that are activated at high temperatures, and these also alert SOS and Akademiska Hus.
Fire cells
The building is divided into a number of fire cells to prevent fire and smoke from spreading.
Each fire cell is delimited by fire-rated walls and doors. In principle, all floors, stairwells, lifts, operating areas and waste rooms have their own fire cells. Doors in fire compartment boundaries can be magnetically suspended in the open position for transport and closed manually with a push button marked "fire door closer". When an evacuation alarm is triggered, the doors close automatically within the alarmed area.
Doors in fire compartment boundaries must absolutely not be blocked by wedges or the like!
Combustible material must not be placed in escape routes (stairwells).
Escape routes / Assembly point
See evacuation plans in corridors.
The stairwells form independent escape routes. Two stairwells can be reached from each workplace. The escape routes, which are marked with green luminous escape signs, must never be blocked. The green signs are always lit and have a battery backup to illuminate even in the event of a power cut.
If the fire alarm is triggered, all personnel must leave the building, close all doors behind them and gather at the assembly point (See the respective evacuation plan). The staff reports there to the evacuation recipient and leaves their name and group affiliation or equivalent. No one may depart from the assembly point until this is done.
