Security and surveillance
Within the Amsterdam University of Applied Sciences (AUAS), the central control room is the contact point for reporting incidents. The central control room has a pivotal role in security and is therefore staffed 24/7.
THE CENTRAL CONTROL ROOM IS RESPONSIBLE FOR:
- providing assistance in the event of emergencies and large-scale incidents
- dispatching internal and external emergency services outside of opening hours
- alerting the BHV teams during opening hours
- organising and managing security and surveillance in buildings and on grounds
- monitoring and operating security cameras
- supporting reception services with on-call surveillance officers. See Reception for more information
REPORTING AN EMERGENCY
In the event of emergencies or urgent matters, please call the central control room directly. You can call 24/7 on 020 595 3333. Please note! Unsafe situations in the building and (near) accidents should also be reported to the Service Desk and your direct supervisor. All incidents must be registered by filling out the registration form for this purpose, which can be found under ‘Incident reporting’.
