    Section VII: Evacuation Procedures for Building Occupants

    1. When the fire alarm sounds, occupants should ensure that nearby personnel are aware of the emergency, quickly shutdown operating equipment (e.g., compressed gas cylinders), close doors (DO NOT LOCK) and exit the building using the established evacuation routes. 2. Occupants shall assist visitors, students and others who are not familiar with the plan to safely evacuate. 3. If you have been identified as having responsibility for Critical Operations Shutdown, refer to Section IX. 4. All occupants should proceed to their Designated Meeting Site and await further instructions from their Safety Monitor. 5. All personnel should know where primary and alternate exits are located, and be familiar with the various evacuation routes available. Floor plans with escape routes, alternate escape routes, exit locations and Designated Meeting Sites are located in Appendix II and are posted in the building. 6. Building occupants must NOT use elevators as an escape route in the event of a fire. Notes and Precautions: Portable fire extinguishers can be used for small fires. However, an immediate readiness to evacuate is essential. Never enter a room that is smoke filled. Before opening doors check to ensure it is not hot to the touch. If hot do not open. If warm open slowly to check room / hallway conditions.

    Section VIII: Disabled Occupants


    Employees requiring assistance upon exiting are listed in Appendix I however there may be disabled visitors in the building that also require assistance. The Safety Monitor must identify individuals needing assistance, attempt to locate individuals to assist in the evacuation or in relocating to the Area of Refuge, and notify the emergency response personnel of the person's location. Transporting of disabled individuals up or down stairwells should be avoided until emergency response personnel have arrived. Unless imminent life-threatening conditions exist in the immediate area occupied by a non-ambulatory or disabled person, relocation of the individual should be limited to a safe area on the same floor, in close proximity to an evacuation stairwell. Within the room there should be provided a flashlight, towel for hanging out window or bright colored marker to mark windows that cannot be opened.

    Section IX: Critical Operations Shutdown


    Critical Operation Shutdown: Critical operations, including equipment that must be shut off and persons designated to complete these actions are identified in Appendix I. Procedures for rapid shutdown should be predetermined for life safety and loss control purposes, as well as ensuring complete evacuations in a timely manner. Individuals should never jeopardize their own health and safety to complete the Critical Operations Shutdown.
