Emergency Support

Please contact BIC staff directly – details can be found on the contact sheets at each system and are listed here:

Emergency Contact list

After-Hours: an immediate response cannot be guaranteed, and a variety of mechanisms to initiate contact (phone, text, Teams message) may be used. We will attempt to resolve urgent support issues over the phone, but on-site support can only be provided for a participant or system-related emergency.

Emergency access:   In NHB, emergency access to the facility can be granted by senior BIC staff remotely.  A security guard is on site 24 hours a day at HDB/HTB and can provide emergency access to communal areas. Emergency access to secure locations in HDB can be granted remotely by senior BIC staff.
