Please  make sure your teams are all aware of the two sounds and what they mean.

If a fire (or potential problem) occurs in your area you will hear a two-tone alarm.

If you hear a single bleep being repeated (like a reversing vehicle) it means there is a problem in the hospital but not in your area.

These sounds and what they mean will be covered in your mandatory fire safety training though if you have any further queries please email Keith Rawnsley keith.rawnsley@cht.nhs.uk
