RUN HIDE TELL



RUN
- to a place of safety
- this is far better option than to surrender or negotiate
- if there's nowhere to go, then...
HIDE
- It’s better to hide than to confront.
- Remember to turn your phone to silent and turn off vibrate.
- Barricade yourself in if you can.
- Then finally and only when it is safe to do so…
TELL
Call 112 on an internal or mobile phone
What do the local police need to know?
- Location – Where are the suspects?
- Direction – Where did you last see the suspects





If you discover a lost or unattended item, either in or around the site, adopt the H O T assessment procedure:
H = HIDDEN
- Has it been concealed or hidden from view?
- Bombs are unlikely to be left in locations such as this - where any unattended item will be noticed quickly.
O = OBVIOUSLY SUSPICIOUS
- Does it have wires, circuit boards, batteries, tape or putty-like substances?
- Do you think the item poses an immediate threat to life?
T = TYPICAL
- Is the item typical of what you would expect to find in this location?
- Most lost property is found in locations where people congregate
If you're unsure, contact security immediately
