4 Security advice for Staff / Students working in College Buildings

Ensure that all door and window locking devices are in working order.

Keep all offices locked when not in use.

Utilise a key control system. Department keys should be accounted for at all times.

Do not label keys with their use – use a code system instead.

Keep desk drawers, presses and filing cabinets locked when not in use or unattended.

Petty cash should be kept to the minimum required and kept secured at all times.

Avoid having valuable personal property in your office as this is not insured by College.

Secure handbags in a drawer or filing cabinet and do not leave wallets, purses or other valuable

property in jackets or coats that are hanging up.

After hours, report any problems of a security nature which you may come across to College

Security i.e. unsecured or open doors and windows, faulty locking devices etc.

Be on the alert for persons acting in a suspicious manner i.e. loitering in toilets, corridors and

secluded areas in the building. Report the matter immediately to College Security, any Security

Officer or Attendant. Your immediate action in making this report could prevent the

commission of a crime.

4.1 Holiday Periods

College departments are advised of the follow precautions during holiday periods.

Ensure that all items of value are secured and out of sight, particularly in the case of ground

floor offices and facilities.

Petty cash boxes and small portable items such as laptops, cameras etc. should be securely

stored in office safes and steel presses.

of 26

Do not leave the keys of receptacles containing such items in desk drawers or anywhere else in

the office.

Ensure that all (external) door and window locking devices are in perfect working order (if

maintenance is required on these devices, report it REPAIRS without delay) and check all

offices/rooms and other facilities for security and / or other hazards prior to securing the

building.

Make sure that all external doors (Including fire doors, if building is unoccupied over the

holiday period) and windows are properly secured before departing college.

5 Procedure for lone working / after normal working hours

As per staff contracts the general working hours are 9.00 a.m. to 5.30 p.m. with a one hour

lunch break and a 15 minute coffee break in the mornings. A formal flexi-time system does not

exist in DS at present, informal arrangements are worked out between the staff member and

the Director of the Disability Service.

If you are in your office after normal working hours you should be conscious of the following

guidelines:

If you use a swipe card to gain access have your swipe card readily available as you approach

the entrance to your building – avoid having to open your handbag or wallet at the door.

Avoid working alone or arrange to work with a colleague. Alternatively sign in at the security

desk when working out of hours.

If lone working is permitted in your department ensure that a colleague, friend or relative

knows that you are working in your office and also knows your anticipated time of departure or

arrival home.

Keep your office door secured.

Ensure you have access to a readily available means of communication in the event of an

emergency, e.g. mobile phone, landline extension.

of 26

If you discover a suspected intruder on the premises avoid confrontation, secure yourself in

your office, or nearest office if you are away from your own. Call security at the emergency

telephone number.

Give your location, phone number and any relevant details, e.g. description of intruders, their

last known location. Await the arrival of security.

If the intruder alarm is activated in an adjoining area of your building contact security and

request directions on what action to take.

In extreme circumstances if you are isolated and cannot take refuge in an office or laboratory

try to set off the fire alarm using a ‘break glass’ unit to attract security.

In case of a medical emergency call security at the emergency telephone number and await the

arrival of medical assistance.

In case of an incident where an evacuation of the building is ordered leave the building and

follow the instructions of the security staff, Safety/Fire Officer or Gardaí.

If you encounter any other situation which you feel threatens your safety or security, or that of

the premises, call security at the emergency telephone extension (1999) using the nearest

telephone or 01 896 1999 if using a mobile phone.

6 VDU assessment

A risk VDU assessment should be carried out by the Departmental Safety Officer /

Departmental VDU Assessor. Under the Safety Health and Welfare at Work Act (General

Application) Regulations 2007, all hazards associated with the use of display screen equipment

(VDUs) must be identified, and any risk to the health and / or safety of the user must be

assessed.

To ensure compliance with this regulation an assessment is carried out annually to highlight

any ergonomic needs in this area if needed. This can then be discussed with the Director of the

Service if need be. The Disability Service Assistive Technology Officer is Andrew Costello at
