For Lecturers

Tugtar eolas bunúsach agus riachtanach i Nósanna Imeachta Dóiteáin Ollscoil na Gaillimhe agus ba cheart go mbeadh an t-eolas seo ag foireann agus ag mic léinn na hOllscoile ar fad agus go gcloífidís leis. Mar chomhalta foirne a bheidh ag tionól léachtaí nó ranganna praiticiúla an bhliain acadúil seo romhainn, caithfidh tú féin go pearsanta a bheith eolach ar na nósanna imeachta seo agus ó tharla gur tusa “an duine atá i gceannas” caithfidh tú a chinntiú:

go bhfuil do dhóthain spáis agat do na ranganna atá á múineadh agat
go bhfuil na mic léinn i do chuid ranganna eolach ar na nósanna imeachta seo agus ar an gcaoi a gcuirtear i bhfeidhm iad.

Dá bhrí sin, ag na chéad ranganna a bheidh agat an seimeastar seo, caithfidh tú na nósanna imeachta seo a chur in iúl do na mic léinn chomh maith lena bhfuil le déanamh acusan a mhíniú dóibh. Déanfar na nósanna imeachta sin a thástáil go luath sa seimeastar nua nuair a dhéanfar sraith druileanna dóiteáin chun go mbeidh foireann na hOllscoile ar an eolas faoi na nósanna imeachta seo. Moltar don fhoireann ar fad glacadh leis go bhfuil cás éigeandála i gceist nuair a bhuaileann aláram aslonnaithe ag tráth ar bith agus caithfear imeacht as an limistéar de réir nósanna imeachta na hOllscoile.

TREORACHA I GCÁS DÓITEÁIN

Má thagann tú ar thine, déan do bhealach amach agus cuir daoine ar an eolas trí úsáid a bhaint as an nglaophointe aláram dóiteáin is gaire duit
Glaoigh ar an mBriogáid Dóiteáin ar 999/112*
Ná cuir thú féin i gcontúirt in iarracht tine a mhúchadh ná daoine eile san fhoirgneamh a thabhairt slán

ASLONNÚ I GCÁS DÓITEÁIN

Cuireann bualadh leanúnach an Aláraim Dóiteáin in iúl gur éigeandáil dóiteáin atá i gceist – gníomhaigh ar an bpointe agus lean ort mar seo a leanas:

Fág an foirgneamh tríd an mbealach éalaithe is gaire duit agus lean ort go dtí an tionad tionóil dóiteáin
Dún gach doras i do dhiaidh
Ná húsáid na hardaitheoirí
Ná téigh isteach san fhoirgneamh arís

Má chloiseann tú aláram ag bualadh go huaineach ciallaíonn sé go bhfuil éigeandáil dóiteáin i limistéar cóngarach duit – ba cheart duit na nithe seo a leanas a dhéanamh:

Faigh amach cá bhfuil an taláram ag bualadh
Ná cuir thú féin i gcontúirt
Ná húsáid na hardaitheoirí
Bí réidh chun an foirgneamh a fhágáil

BÍ ULLAMH

Smaoinigh chun cinn agus pleanáil do bhealach éalaithe lena n-áirítear bealaí éalaithe eile
Go laethúil tabhair aird ar a bhfuil á dhéanamh agat agus cinntigh nach gcuirfidh do ghníomhartha isteach ar shábháilteacht dóiteáin
Tuairiscigh aon ábhar imní atá agat maidir le sábháilteacht dóiteáin
Bí ar an eolas cá bhfuil an glaophointe agus an trealamh sábháilteachta dóiteáin is gaire duit
Bíodh a fhios agat cá bhfuil an t-ionad tionóil dóiteáin a bhaineann leat

Cuimhnigh le do thoil, nach bhfuil sé sásúil go mbeadh mic léinn ag suí ar na céimeanna i rith ranga, mar go sáraíonn sé seo na rialacha dóiteáin. Má tá na suíocháin go léir líonta bá chóir iarraidh ar mhic léinn atá ag suí ar chéimeanna an seomra a fhágáil sula dtosaíonn an rang.

The University of Galway Fire Procedures give basic and essential information which all University staff and students need to know and comply with. As a staff member who will be convening lectures or practical’s during the forthcoming academic year, you must be aware of these procedures. As the “person in control” you should ensure that:

all of the venues that you use have the capacity for the classes you are teaching
students in your classes are also familiar with these procedures and their implementation

Therefore, in your introductory classes this semester, you are requested to brief students on these procedures and expected responses. These procedures will be implemented early in the new semester when a series of fire drills will be carried out to familiarise University personnel with these procedures. All personnel are advised that sounding the evacuation alarm at any time must be treated as a genuine situation and you must vacate the area in accordance with these University procedures.

INSTRUCTIONS IN THE EVENT OF FIRE

On discovering a fire, make your escape and raise the alarm by operating the nearest fire alarm call point
Call the Fire Brigade using the 999/112* phone system
Do not put yourself at risk in order to extinguish a fire or rescue other people in the building.

EVACUATION IN THE EVENT OF FIRE

The continuous ringing of the Fire Alarm indicates a fire emergency – respond immediately and proceed as follows:

Evacuate the building by the nearest exit route and proceed to the fire assembly point
Close all doors after you
Do not use lifts
Do not re-enter the building

The intermittent ringing of the Fire Alarm indicates a fire emergency in an adjacent area - proceed as follows:

Investigate the source of the alarm
Do not take risks
Do not use lifts
Prepare to evacuate the building

BE PREPARED

Think ahead and plan your escape route including alternative escape routes
On a daily be mindful of what you are doing and ensure your actions will not compromise fire safety
Report any fire safety concerns you have
Be familiar with the location of the nearest call point and fire safety equipment
Know the location of your relevant fire assembly point

Please keep in mind that it is unacceptable for students to sit on steps during a class, as this breaches the fire regulations. If all seats are occupied, students sitting on steps should be asked to leave the room before class begins.
