In some circumstances advice maybe sought from TU Dublin’s external Occupational Health Provider.
The completed risk assessment will be communicated to the staff member/ student and their line manager/ Head of School.
The line manager/ Head of School works with the staff member/ student to implement all control measures.

Social Media during Emergencies

Social media has become a critical component to deliver news faster and to a wider audience than traditional news sources for emergencies. This however has the potential for misinformation. Members of the TU Dublin community should refrain from spreading emergency information on their personal social media and should also refrain from sharing images relating to emergencies.

All queries in relation to communications in emergency scenarios should be referred to the Communications and Marketing Function.

How to make an emergency call (Media Clip)

Speech or hearing impairment: If you are deaf, have a hearing impairment or speech disorder, you can register for a service that will allow you to text 112 in an emergency. You should register your phone for the 112 SMS service in advance so that it will be ready to go in the case of the emergency.
