Please note the following monthly fire alarm speaker tests will be conducted on Friday November 20, 2015 at the following times: 

• ALBERTA WATER and ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCE BUILDING                         0950-1000 Hrs

As with previous tests, CIRT Team Members (Assistant Fire Wardens) are requested to check their areas during the test to ensure that the system is functioning (ie. Security Representative’s voice can be heard clearly; that the general alarm is audible and distinct; the fire strobe lights within respective areas are flashing; and hallway doors close if applicable).  

This test is conducted to ensure that the Emergency Notification System is functioning.  A pre-recorded voice will be heard clearly.  You will hear a short beep which will begin the messaging as follows:

“Attention! Attention! This is a test. I repeat, this is a test of the emergency communication system on campus, DO NOT TAKE ANY ACTION. This is only a test to familiarize the university community with the emergency notification system, thank you for your cooperation.”  Followed by “The test is now completed, thank you for your cooperation.”
