YOUR BUILDING EMERGENCY PLAN As a building occupant, you need to be familiar with your specific building emergency plan. Read it carefully. If you have any questions, consult your Department Safety Coordinator or Safety Committee representative. Keep the following in mind as you read through this document: Evacuation routes, exit points, and where to report for roll call after evacuating the building When and how to evacuate the building Locations of emergency materials that may be needed in an emergency, such as fire extinguishers and fire pull alarms Proper procedures for notifying emergency responders about an emergency in the building or work area (dial 911) Additional responsibilities, specific to your building Building Emergency Plan (BEM) is available herehere

LAB AWARENESS The most important safety practice you can follow is to do nothing until you are sure that what you are doing is safe. When in doubt, ask the technical staff, graduate students, or faculty whether you are following recommended safety procedures. Know the location of exits, telephones, fire extinguishers, safety showers and eye washes for use (either your own use or to assist someone else) in case of an emergency. Safety glasses with side shields or goggles must be worn at all times in the labs. Report all chemical spills immediately to lab technicians and clean up following established procedures. There are several labs located throughout Neil Armstrong Hall of Engineering. Do not be surprised to see students, staff, or faculty carrying covered liquids or parts of experiments. The following is designed as information to make you better informed; not to train you to work in a lab. If you require regular access to laboratories, you’ll be formally trained before being given access.

LAB AWARENESS (continued) Do not store open and/or unlabeled chemicals or solutions at any time. All waste chemicals and broken glass must be disposed of in approved containers. Put broken glass or other sharps only in a sharps container. Wear protective clothing (lab coats) when handling strong chemicals. Tie back or otherwise secure long hair, dangling jewelry, or clothing. Do not wear open-toed shoes (i.e., sandals, flip-flops, Tevas) in any of the labs. Bare legs are not acceptable for many operations, unless you wear a floor- length apron. Do not leave a mess. Always check and wipe down your area. Do not cover up accidents – they happen. When they do, post a no admittance sign detailing the hazard. Do not move the problem out of the area. If you discover a fire or fire-related emergency such as abnormal heating of material, hazardous gas leaks, hazardous material or flammable liquid spill, smoke, or odor of burning, immediately follow these steps: –Activate the building fire alarm system (fire pull station). –Notify the Fire Department (call 911)
