Fire
Health & Safety is everyone’s responsibility and we all need to all contribute to ensuring that we live in a healthy and safe environment:
- Be aware of where the fire exits are located.
- Do not interfere in any way with fire doors.
- Keep corridors clear.
- Follow fire procedures should a fire break out.
- Keep common areas free of flammable material e.g. the bin area.
- Activate the fire alarm system (break glasses) should a fire be discovered.
The individual fire/smoke detection alarms in each apartment and the in building are very sensitive to smoke. If you have smoke from cooking in your own apartment, please open your windows/balcony doors, and do not open your front door, as the smoke will activate the main building alarm. If the alarm activates in your apartment, you can cancel this by pressing the button found on the actual alarm itself.
A fire alarm test is done every Wednesday and a full inspection carried out annually.
Security
The entry phone system is there for everyone’s security. Please do not allow anyone into the building unless you have positively identified him or her as a genuine caller and never wedge the entrance doors open.
Waste
Poorly managed household waste is unpleasant and can be hazardous to our health:
Please use strong bin liners to dispose of your household rubbish. These should be placed in the large wheelie bins provided in the bin room (situated to the rear of the building as you turn left out of the main double glass doors). The pin code for the lock is C6074.
The recycling bins are for glass, paper and tins as labelled.
Large cardboard must be either broken up into small pieces and placed in bin liners with normal household rubbish, or taken to the local refuse site at:
Brighton Household Waste Site
Wilson Avenue
Brighton
BN2 5UA
Tel:08453 550550
No rubbish is to be left on the floor in or outside the bin room by the recycling bins (even if the bins are full). You can take this to the refuse site as detailed above. Alternatively, for a fee, City Clean, who are responsible for street cleaning in the area, also make private rubbish collections. They can be contacted on 01273 292929, 8am-5pm Monday to Friday. Furniture cannot be left in the foyer or the common ways for any length of time.
Only household rubbish should be placed in the bin room. Residents should arrange to dispose of furniture and other bulky packaging themselves.
