In the case of a medical emergency or accident please call 999 and ask for an ambulance. If you are in any doubt about the medical condition of a fellow student, you should call an ambulance immediately. Inform Reception so they can assist you directly or contact the duty warden on your behalf.
The majority of security staff and student wardens have Emergency First Aid training.
Please report all accidents or health and safety incidents to Reception as they must be logged in the Accident Book.
Fire safety
Fires and smoke can cause death or severe injury and damage to property. Please read:
Be aware that the fire alarm will usually be tested every Tuesday morning at 10.30am: this will consist of three rings. You don’t have to evacuate the building when the alarm is tested but must do so any other time you hear the alarm.
Lifts
If you are in a lift and it fails, please remain calm and push the alarm button to summon help. Give the operator your name and location and then wait patiently until you can be evacuated or are given further instructions. The operator will alert Paragon staff who will try to talk to you and keep you informed from outside the lift car.
If, at any time, you require additional assistance, please push the alarm button again and speak to the operator.
