INTRODUCTION This handbook has been prepared for you to provide information about how your workplace is managed.
WHAT IS FACILITIES MANAGEMENT (FM)? The purpose of Facilities Management within the University is to develop and maintain agreed services which support and improve the University’s effectiveness in its primary function, ie academic excellence. Effective Facilities Management encompasses (and co-ordinates) multi-disciplinary activities within the workplace, and the management of service teams. Examples of this are:
Cleaning
Catering
Local security and access control
Management of Service Teams, porters etc.
Post room services
Waste management
Access control
Event management
Implementation and management of Health and Safety procedures
On a day to day level, effective FM provides a safe, compliant, clean and efficient working environment, assisting the University to deliver its primary function. It should be service orientated and adaptable in a changing environment. This guide provides you with information about your place of work and the support services provided for you. It also describes health, safety and welfare matters and details the individuals responsible for the delivery of certain elements of these. Your Head of Department has overarching responsibility for your safety.

BUILDING MATTERS
General Information Full Postal Address: University Offices
Wellington Square Oxford OX1 2JD
Telephone Number: 01865 (2)70098 (Main Reception)
Building Security Your department manages the day to day security of your workplace. The University’s Security Services team provides expertise and support on broader security issues, including emergency response, CRB checks, out of hour’s response, etc. The building has been provided with:
Access Control Swipe card access via your University card is present throughout the building. Access to all areas is controlled by the FM Helpdesk. Please contact them should you have any difficulties with access. Most areas have a swipe card reader adjacent to the door (see below) although many internal doors during the working day are set to free-flow access.
6 | P a g e
The main entrance and basement entrance both have a swipe card reader which is used for out-of-hours access, 5.45pm – 7.45am (see below):
Main Entrance - sliding glass door Basement – via car park
Currently the pin and swipe function is not enabled so entering a number into the key pad is not necessary. For out-of-hours access please contact your departmental administrator.
Lockdown System The building is equipped with a lockdown system that is in place to be used in the event of an emergency, eg a potential occupation. This means once the system is activated all the doors in the building will be closed and locked. This is to ensure the safety of the people in the building. On being informed of an occupation taking place, hearing/seeing an occupation, or because the internal doors have locked down, departments should carry out the following to ensure local security:
Close the doors to offices.
Secure all sensitive papers by locking them away into drawers / cupboards / filing cabinets.
Log off PC until the site is secure.
Stay in the office and remain calm and await further information. This can be gained by calling the FM Helpdesk on 70087 if necessary.
Await further information / instructions from Security Services or the Facilities team.
If the occupation is unlikely to be resolved quickly then staff will be escorted either to use stairwell facilities, or off the site by Security Services or FM.
7 | P a g e
This lockdown system is overridden if the fire alarm is activated, or if the emergency door release break glass is broken (please see picture below):
The break glass should only be used in the event of an emergency to get out of the room as doing so will limit the effectiveness of the lockdown system. The lockdown system will only ever be used in the event of a real emergency so it is advised to keep the door closed until further notice has been given.
CCTV The CCTV is displayed and monitored by Reception but is controlled and recorded by the FM office.
8 | P a g e
Visitors All visitors must report to Reception and should be collected by their host. Please ensure your visitors are aware of relevant H&S emergency procedures which are shown on the H&S board near to the cafe.
Parking Visitor parking is available but very limited. Please contact the FM Helpdesk for any enquiries or book via Planon.

Any vehicles must leave their car keys with Reception. Should the vehicle need to be moved to allow other cars to leave then this will be carried out by FM.
Cycle Parking There are cycle racks for your use outside of the building on Wellington Square and Little Clarendon Street. If you use the internal cycle parking in Wellington Square you will need to swipe in and out of the area to get access. We advise that you make your bike secure. Advice on cycle security can be obtained from the University Security Services: (http://www.admin.ox.ac.uk/ouss/cra/cyclesecurity/)
Staff Lockers There are no lockers currently available for members of staff.
Combination Door Locks The cleaners’ cupboards have combination door locks. Please contact FM should you require access to them.
9 | P a g e
Lost & Found Property Please keep personal items locked away. Any lost property should be reported to Reception and any found items handed in.
Reporting an Item Missing If you believe you have had either a personal or work item stolen, please contact either the University’s Security Services or Reception. They may ask you to contact Thames Valley Police for a crime reference number.

11 | P a g e
Lighting The lighting is operated in the majority of areas by PIR sensors. These are activated by movement. Once activated, the lighting will remain on for a set period of time. If you have a light switch as below then your lights are not PIR sensored so lights should be switched off when you leave the office.
Building Temperature Most rooms will have a radiator with an adjustable thermostat (as pictured below). During winter months, when the heating is on, these can be adjusted by turning the thermostat up the number range to get more heat, and down the number range for less.
In very hot weather, if you have blinds in your room, please close them overnight. If you have any high level windows please leave them ajar to assist with cooling of the building. Note – do not leave windows open if there is any risk of the building being accessed via this route.

GENERAL SAFETY MATTERS
Report any potential health and safety hazards you notice to Reception immediately, especially slip and trip hazards.
The Fire Alarm panel is tested weekly on Mondays at 10.30am. On the 1st Monday of every month the fire alarm is followed by the Security alarm tone so staff can recognise the difference and react accordingly.
There is a full evacuation drill of the building once a year.
Do not obstruct or leave any materials in fire escape routes.
Do not move or tamper with any fire-fighting equipment. If you see anyone tampering with fire equipment, please report this to Reception.
Seek advice from either the FM Helpdesk or the Estates Services before connecting additional electrical equipment to the supply.
Staff must take care of themselves, their colleagues, visitors, contractors and members of the public and make the University aware of any serious risks or dangers in its activities.
Supervisors and line managers have an H&S responsibility for their staff as per University policy https://www.admin.ox.ac.uk/safety/policy-statements/s1-09/ and are strongly advised to attend Supervisor training run by the Safety Office. Details of courses can be found here https://www.admin.ox.ac.uk/safety/safetytraining/trainsubj/
Heavy items should be moved by arrangement with the FM Helpdesk [email protected]
Chemicals or Substances Hazardous to Health (COSHH) All hazardous substances will be stored and used safely, in accordance with Health and Safety legislation and guidance from the University’s Safety Office. For convenience, a central register is kept in the cleaner’s cupboard in the basement. This is maintained by the contract cleaning company. It is the responsibility of the user to ensure that substances brought onto site are recorded by Reception (who will contact the Senior Facilities Manager).

The role of a Fire Marshal at University Offices
You are able to recognise the difference between a fire alarm which is a continuous siren,
and the punctuated siren which would be used for security evacuation.
You are responsible for the efficient evacuation of the people populating your zone.
It is recommended you ‘sweep’ each room on your way out of the building.
If you are not in your area when the alarm activates DO NOT return to sweep the
zone, instead leave the building using your nearest exit.
Any individuals ignoring the alarm must be instructed to leave immediately.
All individuals should be encouraged to leave by the nearest fire exit breaking fire
break glasses on exit doors if necessary.
Individuals trying to go against the flow to collect belongings should be discouraged.
Any individuals requiring assistance on stairs should be advised to go to refuge point
on landings and press the yellow call point to inform Evac chair operators.
The effective and speedy reporting of your “Zone Number” to the Head Fire Marshal stood
alongside the hand-rails opposite reception wearing a ‘hi-vis’ yellow jacket. Advise if unable
to sweep, or if any individual was not leaving, or any individual having difficulties exiting via
stairs and have therefore been left at the refuge point.
To help prevent unauthorised access during the event 3 of you may be asked to stand at the
following building exits:
(1) The Main Vehicle Gate on Little Clarendon Street
(2) The steps between University Offices and 16 Wellington Square
(3) The Main Entrance to University Offices.
Another fire marshal may be asked to ensure the road is kept clear for emergency vehicles.
All other Fire Marshals should proceed to the fire assembly point on the grassed area in front
of the building, behind the Little Clarendon Street shops, encouraging staff to move to the far
end to allow room for others evacuating without using the road.
Lastly, as a Fire Marshal you may be asked to provide a point of contact so that search or
evacuation procedures can be co-ordinated.
Remember, in discharging your duties you are not expected to put yourself at
Personal Risk. Your help is very much appreciated.
