Please note =================== Hi All, Would you please be advised that we are now reaching the completion of the Biocentre's MRI Extension project; with this in mind, would you please be advised that I will be testing the operation of the fire alarm system on Tuesday 24th May 2016 between the hours of 14.00pm and 17.00pm. 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 will 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 Tuesday afternoon (24/5/16). Hi Nick / / Gary G / Vicky, Could you please assist by sending out an email to all personnel within the two buildings. Should you have any queries regarding the above, please do not hesitate in giving me a call.
