Health and Safety

Fire Alarms

If you are unable to hear Fire Alarms, you must inform the Disability Team, if you are a student or your group leader or conference organiser if you are visiting the University. Alternative arrangements will then be made for you.
Hearing spoken instructions

In the event of an emergency, spoken instructions may be given to occupants of buildings. If you are unable to hear spoken instructions, you must inform the Disability Team if you are a student, or your group leader or conference organiser if you are visiting the University. Alternative arrangements will then be made for you.

Communication Support

If your preferred method of communication is something other than the spoken word i.e. BSL or lip reading, please contact the Disability Team if you are a student. She will advise you how to obtain funding for this support and help you to contact the providers.

Visitors who require communication support should contact their group leader, conference organiser or member of staff receiving them.
