Work, Health and Safety: information for students
Fire exits
You should make sure that you know the locations of the emergency exits for the rooms in which you have classes, and know the evacuation plans and emergency assembly points.
For the Carslaw Building,
- the evacuation plans are displayed near the lifts and staircases on each level,
- the emergency assembly point is on the lawn areas between the Law School and Eastern Avenue, alongside Fisher Library, as shown in the diagram below.

Housekeeping
It is very important that all students obey simple housekeeping rules when in lecture theatres or visiting the School. You should keep your bags and personal items off the floor, as they present a trip hazard, and should use shelving or storage facilities where provided. Aisles should be kept clear and unobstructed.
Reporting hazards and incidents
You should report all incidents and possible hazards on the University premises, including near-misses, to your lecturer or any other member of staff.
