Evacuation Plans

Evacuation Procedures

In the case of an emergency an evacuation may be ordered via Emergency Alarm (eg Fire), PA system (eg Bomb Threat) or both.

The Alert Alarm (beep beep beep) is designed to alert all patrons to a specific area or throughout the building that an evacuation may be necessary. On hearing the Alert Alarm all patrons are to position themselves to await instructions.

NOTE: The Alert Alarm does not mean you should evacuate the building and unless advised by VenuesWest staff, activities should continue as normal.

The Evacuation Alarm (whoop whoop whoop) is designed to notify all occupants in a specific area or throughout the building, that an evacuation is necessary. The Evacuation Alarm usually follows the Alert Alarm, however it may be operated without the Alert Alarm preceding it, where an immediate evacuation is ordered.

NOTE: On hearing the Evacuation Alarm, all occupants should assemble at the evacuation area corresponding to the area of the facility they in. This area, and direct route, will also be indicated via a number of maps at key points throughout the building.
