When the University is impacted or threatened by an emergency, important decisions must be made as quickly as possible, to ensure the safety of our staff, students and visitors. The outlines the overall approach of the Emergency Response Group (ERG), providing a framework within which the response to an emergency can be managed.
The is comprised of the following elements:
- ERG Process Flow: outlining the key management action points
- Part 1: The Plan; Details the purpose and remit of the ERG and the process to be followed in the event of an emergency
- Part 2: Individual action plans for ERG members
- Part 3: Contact List (Restricted document. Please contact the Health & Safety Unit if you require access)
- Part 4: Appendices; Accompanying documents to enable the Secretariat to support the ERG during an emergency

This is supported by local and institutional Business Continuity Plans (BCPs). These plans are restricted documents. Please contact the Health & Safety Unit if you require access.
