Emergency Response
Anyone might encounter an emergency in the course of their normal duties.
Those that do are called "first responders", and must initiate
defensive actions and the notification process. There are five main types of
emergencies:
- Explosions and Fires
- Medical emergencies, including splashes of hazardous agents.
- Spills: Chemical spills, Biological spills and Mercury spills.
- Leaking gas cylinders
- Electrical shocks
If an emergency takes place in your area of work that requires the evacuation
of the building, leave the building through the nearest exit and use the closest
emergency yellow box on campus to contact campus police. To use them, open the
steel door by turning the handle. Pushing the emergency button located inside
the box creates an automatic connection to University Police that cannot be
disconnected. Clark's campus police will automatically know which box has been
activated. Please let the dispatcher know where and what event took place to
ensure a quick and effective response to the crisis.
