Fire Safety

The Letterkenny Institute of Technology has developed a Fire and Emergency management procedure to safeguard and protect the building users and campus from fire or other campus wide emergencies that require building evacuation.



A fire safety management programme has been undertaken by the Institute to guard against the outbreak of fire and to ensure as far as is reasonably practicable the safety of persons on the premises in the event of outbreak of fire.

Fire Instruction Notices are posted in prominent areas throughout the Institute advising all building occupants of the emergency escape procedures.
