They do this by reviewing current plans in place for the University, faculties and directorates to deal with major incidents, and by anticipating potential new risks to the University’s ability to maintain business as usual operations. We’re encouraging residents in the areas affected to check-in on any vulnerable neighbours in case they need water collecting. It is likely that a further collapse is possible and so the safety of the teams working on site has to be our first consideration.

The simulation saw a mock fire in a staircase in one of the College’s Grade-1-listed buildings, with cosmetic smoke and “live” casualties positioned in the building to create a realistic rescue situation.

Dust from the collapse covered a considerable area and we can confirm that there were no hazardous materials within the building; residents are advised to remain inside keeping doors and windows closed. We extend our deepest sympathies to the man who has died and our thoughts remain with the families of those missing.Specialist heavy lifting and engineering equipment is being brought in as the operation moves forward.
