Welcome to the Queen Mary Fire Safety Team.
Here you will find a range of topics relating to Fire Safety at the University.
All enquiries to the Queen Mary Fire Safety team should be sent to firesafety@qmul.ac.uk.

The Fire Safety Team carry out Evacuation Drills at least annually in all Queen Mary buildings.
Fire Risk Assessments are carried out by the Fire Safety Team in line with a risk-based programme.
The risk-based programme considers a range of factors, but broadly speaking buildings will fall into three categories:
- Category 1 are higher risk residential buildings.
- Category 2 are lower risk residential buildings; this category also includes higher risk non-residential buildings.
- Category 3 are lower risk non-residential buildings.
If you have any questions about Fire Risk Assessments, you can speak to the Fire Safety Team.
The Fire Safety Team prepare a range of policies, standards and guidance notes to support staff and students whilst working and studying at Queen Mary.
The Fire Safety Team prepare Personal Emergency Evacuation Plans (PEEP)
If you require a PEEP, please complete the online Personal Emergency Evacuation Plan Questionnaire.
