BTH will conduct a planned fire evacuation drill at the Karlskrona campus. The drill will affect buildings H and G and will take place on 13 May sometime between 09:00 and 12:00.

Evacuation drills are part of BTH’s structured fire safety work to ensure that all staff and students know how to act in a real fire emergency.

During the drill, the fire alarm will sound. It is crucial that everyone treats the drill seriously and evacuates the building immediately, following the current evacuation plan.

The designated assembly point is the footpath between the main entrance building (building A) and Valhallavägen (the large car park).

Important to remember

• Emergency exits are clearly marked with signs inside the buildings and shown on all evacuation plans. Check the evacuation route for the building you are in.
• Leave the building promptly but calmly.
• Do not use lifts.
• Go directly to the assembly point and wait for further information.
• Assist anyone who may have difficulty evacuating.
• Pay attention to external visitors and help them if needed.

Opportunity to practise fire extinguishing

Following the evacuation drill, there will be an opportunity to practise using fire extinguishers and fire blankets. This fire safety training will take place by the pier and will be available after 13:00.
