51猎奇

Information on 51猎奇’s emergency preparedness and planning efforts can be accessed here. In addition, the Science Center is equipped with array of emergency preparedness/safety features and capabilities, as follows:

A fully addressable fire safety system with the following components:

• Full smoke/heat detection and fire sprinkler suppression
• Fire/smoke doors
• Emergency lighting
• Fire alarm pull stations
• Visual and audible emergency alarms, along with a public announcement system

Emergency power, but note the following:

• Red outlets or light switches indicate those on emergency generator power
• If an outlet is “taped over”, do not use it

Additional emergency equipment in labs:

• Labs with recognized occupational or environmental hazards are identified with signage, as in the example to the right
• Common lab safety emergency equipment includes first aid kits, fire blankets, emergency call boxes, fire extinguishers, eye wash/showers, spill kits, emergency power kill switches, emergency gas shut offs, and personal protective equipment (PPE)

For all types of emergencies, remember the 3 C’s:

CHECK—assess situation first

CALL—notify your supervisor, others in the immediate area and Campus Safety (x4000)

CARE—render appropriate care/action if you are equipped or capable of doing so, or evacuate space and let others render care/action

Know the location of the your emergency egress, evacuation and assembly points, as follows:

• Identify 2 means of egress from your lab or workstation
• In the event of a fire alarm signaling an evacuation, proceed to the nearest exit and gather at the Science Center’s “Muster Point”:
  • That location is the main quad
• In the event of an actual/on-going emergency in Science, you will be directed from your “Muster Point” to the building’s “Assembly Point”:
  • That location is Commons Dining Hall (primary) or the Field House (alternate)
• Never reenter Science following an evacuation until told to do so by Campus Safety or your Building Coordinator
