Contact person for building operations

Instructions for the contact person for building operations


Role

The contact person for building operations/Estates Facilities receives calls from the emergency duty officer (cf. the telephone chain) in the event of acute threats to life and property, such as fire, threats made against AU or in case of a major accident. The contact person is responsible for taking the call from the emergency duty officer and initiating the emergency response procedure for Estates Facilities.

If the call is not from the emergency duty officer, it is important that you inform the call centre as quickly as possible to avoid any doubts about whether more incidents are taking place at the same time.

As the contact person for building operations, it is your responsibility to start the emergency response in the event of an acute threat to life and property. This includes informing the Switchboard. Consider if action needs to be taken with regards to the adjacent buildings supervision sections.
