The following are the actions to take in the event of an Emergency.

 

Please familiarize yourself with these so you are prepared in the case of an emergency.  Incidents include:                         

                        - injuries ( serious cuts, etc )

                        - medical emergencies ( allergy attacks, someone losing consciousness, etc )

                        - chemical spills ** SEE BELOW ( large qty and of a hazardous nature )

 

            Each Lab has its own phone so try to never leave any person unattended,.

            Near each phone is the Chem. Hygiene Plan with emergency numbers on the cover.

Incidents happening before 4:00PM

            - Call ext 299 ( switchboard ) or 593-0777 ( security’s cell phone ) to activate the emergency team here on campus.  (This gets help to you the quickest.)  Simply tell them the nature of the problem and have them get the Nurse there ASAP.

            - Then dial 911 if necessary.  Posted on EACH LAB PHONE (Phone) is all the location information that 911 will need.  Give them all information they ask for.

Attend to the person according to the level of your training.

 

Incidents happening after 4:00PM

            - CALL 911 Posted on EACH LAB PHONE  (Phone) is all the location information that 911 will need.  Give them all information they ask for.

CHEMICAL SPILLS:

           

            You will need to make judgment calls pertaining to how to react to this situation.

One good idea is to grab the Chemical Hygiene Plan and get to a safe area, the plan will have phone numbers for you to use.

Possible situations requiring you to use these procedures:

            - large quantity of concentrated acid e.g. a full 2.5 L bottle of sulfuric acid;

- any quantity of a highly toxic substance in a public area ( hallway, lecture room )

- ANY situation where you feel like students and other personnel are in serious danger

 

For any major spill:

            - EVACUATE the area ( Classroom or Building ) Evacuate building by using the fire-pull THIS WILL ALSO ACTIVATE 911

            - Confine the spill to your abilities and appropriate safety level.

            - When the building is clear and you are safe call X337 for the Chemical Hygiene Officer.  If after hours: after you dial 911 –then please call 570 - 7585 for the CHO’s cell phone.

            - If possible have the chemical name or the MSDS ready for the Fire Dept and/or the Chemical Hygiene Officer.
