2. TRAINING & DOCUMENTATION

Training is an integral part of the safety program for your building and it is the responsibility of each department to ensure all their employees are trained on the Emergency Response Plan for their unit and/or building. It is the responsibility of the occupant to become familiar with the Emergency Response Plan, to know evacuation routes and assembly areas, and to attend training(s) given by their department. As a supplement to the training, the Building Coordinator posts information in the building to ensure all occupants and guests can safely exit during an emergency.

Other training recommended for building occupants are CPR, first aid and fire extinguisher training. The University Fire Department (459-3473) on a scheduled basis offers all of these services.

Training & Documentation:

College Eight/Oakes Dining Hall:


Dining Services conducts fire extinguiser training annually for all staff.

Annual evacuation drills.

4. SECURING BUILDING CONTENTS

Experts claim that more than 90% of earthquake-related injuries do not come from collapsing buildings, but from objects inside the building which fall on people and from shattering windows. Also, these objects will be damaged themselves, leading to expensive replacement costs after the earthquake. Therefore, it is in your best interest to spend a little effort now to prevent this from happening. You will need to physically secure shelves, computers, wall hangings, equipment, etc.

The main things to look for and correct are:


• Shelves or cabinets that are not bolted to the wall
• Computers or typewriters on desks
• Objects on shelves which may fall
• Unstable free-standing objects which do not have a wide enough base for their height
• Desks or seating areas directly under plate glass windows
• Heavy hanging pictures, mirrors or plants
• Cupboards or cabinets without secure latches which may swing open
• Objects on wheels which are not locked in one position, such as audiovisual carts
• Heavy, breakable items not on the lowest possible shelves
• Water heaters which are not strapped to the wall
• Doorways which might be blocked by falling objects

For more information about any concerns specific to your area (such as animal cages, chemicals, etc.) contact EH&S at 459-2253.

5. EVACUATION FOR PEOPLE WITH DISABILITIES

In all emergencies, after an evacuation has been ordered:
• Evacuate people with disabilities if possible.
• Do not use elevators, unless authorized to do so by Police or Fire personnel.
• Check on people with special needs during an evacuation. A 'buddy system' where people with disabilities arrange for co-workers or neighbors to alert and assist them in an emergency, if required, is a good method.
• Attempt a rescue evacuation only if you have had rescue training or the person is in immediate danger and cannot wait for professional assistance.
• Always ask someone with a disability how you can help BEFORE attempting any rescue technique or giving assistance. Ask how he or she can best be assisted or moved and whether there are any special considerations or items that need to come with the person.

Blindness or visual impairment:
• Give verbal instructions to advise about the safest route.
• Do not grasp a visually impaired person's arm. Ask if he or she would like to hold onto your arm as you exit, especially if there is debris or a crowd.

Deafness or hearing loss:
• Get attention of the person by touch or eye contact. Clearly state the problem. Gestures and pointing are helpful, but be prepared to write a brief statement if the person does not seem to understand.
• Offer visual instructions to advise about the safest route.

Mobility impairment:
• It may be necessary to help clear the exit route of debris, if possible, so that the person with a disability can move to a safer area.
• If a person with mobility impairment cannot exit, they should move to a safer area, such as an enclosed stairwell or an office with a shut door which is a good distance from the hazard. Notify Police or Fire personnel immediately about any people remaining in the building and their locations.
