Fire Precautions Fire can occur at any time, day or night, and it is essential therefore that everyone should be aware of at least two separate fire exits from any building that they visit or occupy. Members of the Department are expected to be familiar with all statutory and other safety notices that are displayed on notice boards. Examples of these notices are shown in the Departmental Safety Policy. Members of the Department are expected to treat such fire drills appropriately and to report any problems met during the drill to the appropriate floor Fire Warden or the Departmental Safety Officer. Servicing of such equipment should only be undertaken by suitably qualified personnel and after consultation with the appropriate Departmental technicians.
Attention is drawn particularly to the servicing requirements for laser printer's ozone filters.
Such filters, where fitted, should be replaced at the manufacturers stated service intervals. No computer or office equipment may be left switched on overnight in an office without the approval of the Departmental Safety Officer. The Departmental Safety Officer will maintain a register of such items of unattended equipment. All electrical equipment is to be installed and operated according to the manufacturer's specification and with the approval of the Safety Officer. Such equipment includes kettles, desk lamps, heaters, 4-way blocks, etc.
