Always observe the steps below when the following emergencies arise:
ELECTRICAL/LIGHT FAILURE - Depending upon the severity of the emergency, building lighting may not provide sufficient illumination in corridors and stairs for safe exiting. It is, therefore, advisable to have a flashlight and portable radios available for emergencies.
ELEVATOR FAILURE - If you become trapped in an elevator, use the emergency phone to notify Security. When the receiver is picked up, it will automatically dial the Security Department.
PLUMBING FAILURE/FLOODING - Cease all operations. DO NOT switch on lights or any electrical equipment: This could cause an explosion.
STEAM LINE FAILURE - Vacate the area immediately.
VENTILATION PROBLEM - If smoke is present, cease all operations and vacate the area.
Steps to Follow:
In the event of a major utility failure occurring during regular working hours (8 a.m. to 5 p.m., Monday through Friday), immediately notify Facilities at Ext. 0215 or call 276-732-2406.
