Fire protection

Persons present must attempt to extinguish fires. If you do not succeed quickly, you must trigger the fire alarm (if it has not already been triggered). Ensure that all people in the room manage to evacuate.

If a fire alarm is triggered the duty supervisor at Haukeland University Hospital, Security Section, and the fire department will be automatically notified.

EMERGENCY NUMBERS:

FIRE 110
POLICE 112
AMBULANCE 113

Extinguishing fires

Different methods can be used to extinguish a fire:

  • reducing the supply of oxygen
  • cooling (e.g. using water or CO2)
  • removing flammable material

Familiarise yourself with the location of fire extinguishers, emergency showers and any fire blankets.


Some examples of extinguishing equipment

The following is a list of codes and their areas of application:

  • A: Wood, paper, textiles
  • B: Flammable liquids and gases, chemicals
  • C: Electrical installations
Water
(A-extinguishers) is used in the event of fire in wood products, paper, textiles etc. It must not be used on electrical equipment or wires, on substances which react violently to water (e.g. sodium, potassium, phosphorus) or on liquids which do not mix with water. If clothes are on fire use the emergency shower, drop to the floor and roll over, try to smother the fire using a (fire) blanket or similar. Request assistance for this.
CO2-extinguisher
(ABC-extinguishers) Used for fires in flammable liquids, electrical systems, wiring etc. CO2 evaporates quickly and causes no damage. NOTE: CO2 must not be used on burning alkali metals (e.g. Na, K). Do not use CO2-extinguishers near people, because the CO2 stream is extremely cold and causes frost injuries. In addition CO2 displaces O2 and can, in worst case scenarios, lead to strangulation.
Powder extinguisher
(ABC-extinguishers) can be used for all types of fires.

Fire extinguishers which have been used must NOT be put back in place, they shall be delivered for refilling and sealing.

Fire Instructions

The department is required to have documentation which shows that fire protection training has been given to all employees.

By fire protection training is meant basic training in the following:

  1. Escape routes and mustering points
  2. Location of extinguishing equipment/ manual fire alarms and instructions in their use
  3. Fire instructions and internal procedures
  4. Work involving laboratory animals
  5. Special risks in the building
  6. Duties relating to fire protection
  7. Notification procedures
  8. The structure of UiB’s fire protection organisation

Details for the above points can be found under "Fire protection training".

Fire protection training

1. Valid escape routes are shown on floor plans posted on every level. Study the floor plan closely and memorise the locations of the nearest escape routes from the different parts of the floor. Several of these escape routes are normally closed and are only opened when the fire alarm is triggered. Personnel who wish to inspect and familiarise themselves with relevant escape routes should contact the site fire protection officer.


In the event of a fire alarm, all employees/ students should muster at the following specified mustering points so that head counts can be conducted:

1st floor through 5th floor.
People on the 1st floor evacuate via the “Varemottak” and go further to the square below the Workshop Building.
People located on level 2 through 5 evacuate via the main door on the 2nd floor and continue down to the front of the Goods reception area.
The bicycle parking at the side of the Workshop Building and the square below to act as mustering point.
6th floor through 9th floor
People located on level 6 to 9 at the time of a fire alarm, will emerge from the building and reassemble by the parking lot next to Ulriken643 Cable car lower station.

2. Everyone must familiarise themselves with the location of extinguishing equipment (see floor plan on each level). The red boxes on the wall are manual fire alarms. Pressing these alarms triggers the fire alarm.

3. When the fire alarm is triggered, everyone must leave the building immediately via the nearest escape route and muster at the specified mustering point. If the doors do not unlock when the alarm is triggered, press the plastic cover in the green box on the wall beside the door. Some double doors are equipped with panic handles, which can be used during evacuation to open both doors in order to achieve a sufficiently wide opening for escape. Do not be afraid to use the green boxes and the panic handles when the fire alarm is triggered. It is important that you notify the site fire protection officer if any of these have been used so that they can be reset. When the alarm is triggered, it does not matter whether or not it is a fire drill. Unless otherwise notified, you must always react to a fire alarm and start evacuating the building.

You must always assume that there is a fire when the alarm is triggered.

During an evacuation of the building, the site fire protection officer will ensure that everyone evacuates. Remember to take good care of any visitors!


4. Emergency putting down of laboratory animals. If a situation arises which makes it necessary to evacuate the building during a surgical procedure on an animal, you must, as far as possible, carry out an emergency putting down See chapter for working with animals.

5. Particular risks in the building include the use of flammable liquids and gas. You must therefore exercise caution when using such liquids and gases. Remember to turn off gas supplies when the fire alarm is triggered!

6. It is important that the team leader/ person responsible for the laboratory informs new employees and temporary staff about the fire instructions and that the site fire protection officer/ building fire protection officer are contacted in order to provide the necessary training.

7. The fire services will be automatically notified if the fire alarm is triggered.

Remember that lifts are not escape routes!
The bridge between BBB and Haukeland University Hospital must not be used as an escape route!

8. When organising the fire protection organisation, a site fire protection officer must be appointed for each entity. If you have any questions about fire safety, contact the site fire protection officer, who will pass them on.
