* Damage caused by abuse (when you "should have known better") may be subject to some action when reported (such as being asked to pay for repairs) but the one thing that will '''always''' make the situation worse is trying to hide or cover up damage, or repair it yourself if you don't know what you're doing - this puts others at risk, as well as being a nuisance. | * Damage caused by abuse (when you "should have known better") may be subject to some action when reported (such as being asked to pay for repairs) but the one thing that will '''always''' make the situation worse is trying to hide or cover up damage, or repair it yourself if you don't know what you're doing - this puts others at risk, as well as being a nuisance. | ||

* Familiarise yourself with the locations of fire alarms, fire escapes and fire fighting equipment. | |||
* Raise the alarm immediately upon discovering a fire. | |||
* Upon raising the alarm, or hearing it, leave the building. Do not loiter in the alleyway but instead go to the fire gather point across the road. | |||
* Remember that the building fire alarm is not connected to the fire brigade, so somebody needs to call 999. | |||
* Use the firefighting tools only if it is safe to do so, and immediately call the fire brigade. | |||
* Only perform hot work operations in accordance with the equipment rules, in the designated locations. | |||
* After performing any hot works operations, remain in the space for at least one hour after completion of the work checking regularly for any signs of smoke or fire. | |||
Please note that as London Hackspace only occupies a small portion of the space within the EX2 building the landlord (RoPR) is responsible for the overall fire evacuation plan. This is displayed on various posters in the communal areas of the building | |||
