As soon as the glass panel is broken, a critical alarm is recorded and Security staff are immediately dispatched. These are strictly for emergency situations. All lifts on campus have emergency phones that direct dial the lift company's contact number. These are designed primarily for lift breakdowns but may be useful in other emergency circumstances. All members of the Security Patrol hold current first aid certificates.
Security Officers are also in radio contact and are able to respond and summon help quickly.
There are two medical centres on campus, located within the Holme and Wentworth Buildings. Security Officers will respond to calls for emergency first aid and assist emergency services such as ambulances to the scene. If you call 000, please also advise Security so that staff can attend and render assistance until the arrival of external emergency services. We also assist those services in locating these incidents on campus. The Security Service has access to University Counsellors after hours.
