Emergency Response

The University’s Emergency Response Team is a structured team that will initiate an emergency response to a situation

The Team structure has been implemented for the safety of all building and site occupants in an emergency situation. The Emergency Response Team will always ensure the safety of people first. This diagram shows the hierarchies used across the University. Staff, students and visitors must obey reasonable instructions from members of the Emergency Response Team shown.

• An Emergency Response Team is activated when there is an event that impacts upon its designated building. This hierarchy overrides normal management until resolution of the event. • The Emergency Response Team will assume control of the building and its occupants until the ‘all clear’ is delivered by Emergency Services or the Chief Warden. Responding Emergency Services or the Campus Emergency Coordinator may assume control of critical incidents.

• Members of the emergency

response will identify themselves by wearing the appropriate coloured helmet for their role.
