Here are some ideas on things you can do to help reduce the impact of environmental incidents and emergencies-

 

• If you notice any leakages, fires, or other possible emergency situations, call the Security Lodge emergency number: 01603 592222 or the Estates Helpline for non-emergency events: 01603 592121.

• Report incidents - this helps us to improve our controls.

• Report any animals or birds you discover in the grounds and are concerned about, call the Estates Helpdesk on ext. 2121.

• Know where your nearest spill kit is located and if necessary find out how to use it. We have dedicated spill kits located at all 17 oil storage locations on campus and have various spill granule bags at other high risk locations e.g. chemical stores. If you think you need training on how to use these contact the Sustainability Team sustainability@uea.ac.uk 01603 593535.

Note: The Public Interest Disclosure Act 1998 grants protection for employees who disclose information that reveals a company’s activities are damaging the environment or endangering the health and safety of any individual.
