SAFETY PROTOCOL / EMERGENCIES
You have to obey the orders of Big Brother at all times. This is for your own safety. All housemates will be given a written plan for emergencies before they enter the house, which is included in this rulebook. They should read this and become familiar with the house emergency procedures. If Big Brother asks occupants to move to a particular room they must do so immediately. In the event of an emergency housemates will be advised how to react by Big Brother who will speak to them over the public address system. The housemates must obey the orders of Big Brother at all times for their own safety, failure to do so may result in ejection. The door to the house will be remotely locked, but can be opened at a moment’s notice.

VIOLENCE
Any Housemate who becomes violent will be removed from the house immediately.

ACCIDENT AND ILLNESS
In case of an accident, there is always a first-aid kit available for use by the housemates. One is in the cabinet inside the boys’ bedroom and the other is in the cabinet inside the girls’ bedroom.

The Confession Room is 'open' 24 hours a day, and can always be visited to indicate that medical help is needed.

If a Doctor, Nurse or Dentist is required for minor treatments, they will enter the house and treat the patient in the Confession Room. If a Housemate needs hospital treatment, Big Brother will judge whether the housemate may return to the house. If a hospital visit is necessary, a member of the production team will accompany the Housemate to ensure that there is minimal contact with the outside world.

A Psychologist will be available to all the housemates for counselling, either on request or more, if Big Brother feels it is necessary. Counselling sessions will not be filmed or listened to by Big Brother. Although we will not breach client confidentiality, the Psychologist working with Big Brother will feed back to Big Brother to make them aware of any issues or vulnerabilities of the housemates. There will also be support for housemates once they have left the house.

FIRE
In the event of any emergency, housemates will be advised how to act by Big Brother speaking over a PA system. The housemates must obey the orders of Big Brother at all times for their own safety.
There will be fire extinguishers in the house, which may be used by housemates to extinguish small fires. In case of a serious fire hazard, housemates are instructed to go into the garden and Big Brother will advise further.

UNINVITED GUESTS
It is possible that people try to reach the house unannounced. This can be done in different ways. Always wear your microphone so Big Brother can hear you at all times. You should consider the Big Brother house as your house – you would not want to have strangers in your garden.

If there are uninvited guests around the house, Big Brother will ask you to go to the Confession Room or storage room immediately. Always follow the instructions from Big Brother.

Always ignore and never acknowledge people shouting from outside the Big Brother house. Communicating with these people is considered a violation and will merit a consequence and may eventually lead to an automatic nomination.

*Three violations of any of the house rules will mean eviction or automatic nomination for the housemate.
Any grave violation will also mean eviction or automatic nomination for the housemate.
Big Brother reserves the right to change or adjust the rules in this book as deemed necessary. All decisions made by Big Brother are always final and irrevocable.
