What if an accident happens? #
Report all accidents to the board no matter how minor.
If you can walk, the Accident and Emergency Department at the Royal Lancaster Infirmary is 8 minutes away.
If not sufficiently mobile, ring 999 and report your location as Floor 4, Harpers Mill, White Cross Business Park, LA1 4XF.
If you are unable to unlatch the RFID door mechanism or are somehow trapped, request the fire service. If not an emergency, ask on Telegram for assistance.
A first aid kit is available by the door, and fire extinguishers are next to the pillar drill and CO2 laser (the large machine).
