While at College make sure you always wear your College Membership Card (ID card). It must be visible at all times (e.g. not hidden under a coat) unless you are in a practical situation and have been told by a member of staff to take it off.

Staff members will regularly check you are wearing your badge and may ask you to show it to them. It may be temporarily retained to allow further investigation into incidents in which you are involved or witnessed.

It is important that you are able to listen to instructions from College staff at all times, so please remove headphones when you are entering the College.

People who are on College premises without a valid reason may be asked to leave (for example, a student who is not meant to be on campus that day and has just come in to see their friends).

If you lose your card, a fee of £2.50 will be payable for a replacement. ID cards that are damaged or defaced will be confiscated and you will need to buy a new one. Defacing your card could also lead to disciplinary action.

Your Personal Tutor will explain the fire procedure during induction for your place of study. If you will need help to get out of the building quickly  make sure you tell staff during your induction so that a Personal Emergency Evacuation Plan (PEEP) can be put in place for you.

If the fire alarm sounds continuously, it is essential that you:

• Leave the building immediately by the nearest safe exit
• Don’t stop to collect your belongings and do not use the lifts
• Report to your assembly point
• Do not re-enter the building until told to do so by a member of staff.

If you discover a fire, tell the first member of staff you see and sound the alarm. Leave the building by the nearest safe exit and report to your assembly point.

The consequences of false alarms and setting off fire extinguishers can be very serious and anyone deliberately raising a false alarm or tampering with fire-fighting equipment will be immediately subject to disciplinary procedures. We may refer the matter to the Police and/or seek to recover repair costs for any damage.

Your tutor will inform you of any health and safety protective clothing or equipment (e.g. boots or eye protection) which should be worn or used in designated areas.

Protective clothing and equipment rules are in place to protect you from harm and you should always follow health and safety instructions from your tutor.

Unless informed otherwise by your tutor, you should always wear and use the protective clothing or equipment provided. If you are having issues with the clothing or equipment, it is your responsibility to inform your tutor.

If you think you have seen an accident or something that was nearly an accident, the College really needs to know about it!  Make sure you tell a member of staff as soon as possible so the area can be made safe. In turn the member of staff  will contact the Environmental Compliance Team at Broomfield Hall to reduce the risk of the accident happening again.
