-
Outbreaks of Infectious/Communicable Disease
Due to the nature of college life, emergency actions/responses regarding infectious or communicable disease rely on prevention and identification/containment/control strategies.
3. Occupational or Residential Emergencies
-
As a precaution against CO exposure hazards, all dormitory facilities are equipped with CO detectors tied into existing fire detection/suppression systems.
-
In the event of a building explosion (related to fires or from a vehicular/aircraft explosion into a building on campus), immediately take cover under tables, desks and other objects, which will give protection against falling/flying glass or debris.
-
If a minor fire appears controllable, IMMEDIATELY contact Campus Safety at 315-859-4000, who will contact the fire department. If a fire is not controllable, an emergency exists. If a building alarm has not automatically activated, manually activate the building alarm at the nearest pull station to signal an evacuation, report the fire by phone, evacuate all rooms and close all doors behind you to confine the fire and reduce oxygen鈥擠O NOT LOCK DOORS!!
4. Environmental Emergencies
-
Any emergency spill of a hazardous chemical or radioactive material should be reported primarily to Campus Safety 315-859-4000, and secondarily to the Director of Environmental Protection, Safety & Sustainability 315-859-4647.
-
Most gas 鈥渙dors鈥� external to buildings, when they are not accompanied with 鈥渉issing鈥� sounds, are nothing more than this equalization process, and Facilities Management 315-859-4500 or the Director of Environmental Protection, Safety & Sustainability 315-859-4647, may be called to confirm that no emergency exists. However, if gas odors are strongly detected inside or outside, and/or if the odors are accompanied by hissing sounds, an immediate emergency exists.
-
All personnel should have a general awareness of where systems and equipment with the potential for an environmental release are located, relative to the buildings where they normally work or reside.
-
An emergency spillage of a petroleum product (oil, gasoline, fuel oil, etc.) exists in the following situations: there is an immediate threat of fire or explosion (based upon the type/quantity of spilled materials, and location to nearby equipment/processes); or there is an uncontrolled release of petroleum product to the environment (like a stormwater drain).
5. Facility/Miscellaneous Emergencies
-
The classification of hazardous weather conditions is dependent upon a host of factors (exact weather incident, time of day, time of year, etc鈥�)
-
The classification of unplanned power outages depends on several factors (expected duration of outage, time of day, time of year, etc鈥�).
