MESSAGE FROM ERIC JOST

[ICTP Info Point]

         _ * *__*Emergency doors of the Centre's Buildings are being 
activated.*_

As anticipated sometime ago, in order to safeguard the interests of the  
I.C.T.P., it has been necessary to adopt  several basic measures in the 
safety and security areas  with the objective of rationalizing and 
improving the security of ICTP's buildings.A methodical but progressive 
action has been planned. Therefore new safety measures will  gradually 
and progressively be implemented in line with the_ _importance of the 
culture of safety, security and accountability in our campus: these 
issues are tied to new and up-to-date simple habits and procedures that 
will have to be gradually taken up by the Staff, Visitors and users in 
general (all  other Organizations present in the I.C.T.P. premises have 
been already duly informed).

*In particular,  in these days the alarms of the emergency doors are 
being activated (pls. see, inter-alia, the AGH lower level exit door 
towards the sea; _we are placing clear and visible information on these  
doors_. In all buildings these doors  are often incorrectly utilized 
and  left open.*

This is the first preparatory step towards the newly arranged access to 
the Center's  buildings only with personal badges or through guard 
controlled doors or other technical devices (see the interphone at the 
Fermi Building). All these new  measures will be announced_ _extensively 
step by step and we are preparing a general practical and concise 
guideline which will indicate the new criteria  governing the admission 
and presence of people on our premises (including the technical 
facilities present at I.C.T.P.) and a set of measures to be taken on 
specific cases and situation. This guideline will be circulated upon the 
approval and final endorsement of the Directorate. The provisions will, 
thereafter, become permanent and without delay applicable, until new 
instructions are produced.

Thank you for your kind attention.

Erich A. Jost/Administration ICTP
