every Friday at 3pm.
In an emergency

• You can release access controlled doors by breaking the
glass in the green emergency boxes
• We have installed fire curtains to help stop fire
spreading, which function as follows:
• when the fire alarm first sounds, if there is fire
curtain located immediately next to the activated
smoke head, it will deploy a third of the way down
the door
• after five minutes, the curtains will fully cover the
door
• if the curtain has come down fully before you’ve
left the building, you can release it using the
override button
In an emergency – if you need help

• If you’re working Bush House and you have any physical impairment which will limit
your ability to evacuate the building without help, you should have a personal
emergency evacuation plan (PEEP) agreed with your line manager/key contact
before entering the building.
• There’s guidance
available on
developing a personal
emergency
evacuation plan here
