Biocentre fire alarm test

Hi All, Apologies for the short notice; however, would you please be advised that following further changes to the fire alarm system within the Biocentre MRI Extension; it will be necessary for me to re-witness the system in operation on Wednesday 22nd June 2016 between the hours of 16.30pm & 18.30pm approximately. Due to the nature of the test being that the alarms will need to be activated; so to avoid anyone leaving the building, on each activation and it may need to be carried out on a number of occasions; the alarm will only sound for a short period of time (30 seconds approx). Although it is anticipated that a smooth operation of the above will be carried out successfully; should the alarm sound continuously for more than 1 minute, then all precautions need to be taken and all personnel should leave the building and go to their designated muster point. It is also assumed that these tests may at some point effect the Fire Alarm System in CHyM; although these will be alerts rather than full sounder activation; however, once again, should the alarms sound for more than 1 minute; the same will apply to the occupants of CHyM and all personnel should make their way out of the building as appropriate. In order to assist in making the end user / operatives aware, I will be affixing notices at the entrance doors of both the Biocentre and CHyM Buildings advising of this test on Wednesday afternoon (22/6/16). -- --------------- Gary Green York Neuroimaging Centre & Centre for Hyperpolarisation in Magnetic Resonance The Biocentre York Science Park Innovation Way Heslington York YO10 5NY tel +44 (0) 1904 435349 fax +44 (0) 1904 435356 mobile +44 (0) 788 191 3004 http://www.ynic.york.ac.uk http://www.york.ac.uk/chym/ https://www.ynic.york.ac.uk/about-us/people/ggrg
