Everyday safety

You can help create a safe working environment by:

Finding out where emergency exits and fire safety equipment are located.
Locking your door when you leave your office.
Checking who you allow into the premises.
Not leaving personal belongings unattended.
Not lending out your access card or keys. If lost, contact your manager immediately.

If you feel unsafe, contact campus security, which is available around the clock.

If you have questions about safety, contact the The Security Function by email.

If a student disrupts teaching

As a teacher, you have the right to ask a student who is disrupting teaching to leave the room.

If the student refuses, contact campus security. Only the police or a security officer may physically remove a person.

In the event of a physical attack, you have the right to self-defence.

If the situation becomes unmanageable, you should suspend the lesson while waiting for security or the police.

The incident must be reported to the Head of Department, who is responsible for further handling and any referral to the disciplinary board.

If necessary, you may request a security escort to your car, bus or underground station.
