In an emergency - alarm intervention at the University of Graz

At the start of the semester, we would like to draw your attention to the alarm intervention of the University of Graz.

Under the extension 2290 all employees (including persons with teaching assignments) can request an emergency intervention. In situations that are distressing, upsetting, threatening and cannot be resolved independently, an external security company will check and de-escalate the cause through conversation and inspection. Low-threshold support is offered, e.g. in the form of an escort.
