is intended to ensure your health and safety and our security whilst on County Hall premises.

- On arrival please submit your vehicle registration number with Reception. Only park in designated spaces. If you have a need to park in undesignated spots e.g. to have easy access to tools, then get approval from Reception or your host. The overall speed limit on site is 20 mph and must be adhered to at all times.
Information provided by your Host
- Your host or supervisor will advise you of the emergency procedure in case
of a fire and other information regarding risks to health and safety, as applicable.A continuous sounding
siren indicates an emergency and you must leave the building by the nearest available exit as quickly
and as calmly as possible. Remain with your host or follow LCC employees to their assembly point
and await instructions. Do not return for documents or personal possessions or re-enter the premises
until instructed to do so.
- Please note and comply with any specific safety requirements that are displayed or verbally communicated by your host.

- All visitors must be accompanied or supervised by a member of staff at all times whilst on our premises.
- If you are authorised by your host to work unsupervised in any area of the
County Hall site you will be given a security door pass key card programmed for that area. Return
the key card with your ID at the end of your visit or at the end of each day, if you are here for an
extended period.
