Upon arrival at the Centre, fellows and guest researchers will be taken through the fire and safety routines by the PI. They will also receive a pamphlet which include a map of CAS marking where all safety equipment and emergency exits are located.

When the fire alarm sounds, all persons must evacuate the building and head to the meeting point by the waste bins in front of the building. No one should leave the premises without informing a member of the administrative team.

Do not abort evacuation if the fire alarm stops sounding, as it may be caused by fire damage to the alarm system. The administration will announce when it is safe to reenter the building.

In case of a fire emergency, call 110 for assistance. 

There is basic first aid equipment available at the Centre. On the lower ground floor, it is located by the kitchenette. On the third floor, it is in the cloak room by the bathrooms.

The administration at the Centre takes first aid courses annually and are trained in the use of the Centre's defibrillator.

For immediate medical assistance, call 113. If it is not an emergency, call the nearest emergency ward at 116117.

The Centre does not provide insurance or any other healthcare benefits, as Fellows and guest researchers are not employed by CAS.

All researchers must have travel insurance covering their entire stay, including losses incurred during travel and damages to the provided accommodations.

If in doubt, consult your insurance company for details regarding your coverage.

In the event of a crisis or disaster, it is important to have access to official information about what is happening and stay informed on what should be done. The Centre’s administration will do their best to keep PIs and fellows informed and updated. But all fellows are encouraged to stay informed through official channels.

Official information can be found on the government’s website, regjeringen.no, and the municipality’s website, oslo.kommune.no. 

In case of immediate and serious threat to life and health, you may receive an emergency alert on your mobile phone. This alert is issued by the Norwegian authorities.

The Norwegian national broadcasting network NRK has a special responsibility to communicate official messages from the authorities. NRK P1 is the emergency radio channel.
