Social Science Building Emergency Procedures
Social Science has formed a building emergency team to assist with evacuating the building during emergencies.
The team has received a positive appraisal from Western's Fire Safety and Emergency Management for their quick and efficient procedures.
When Alarm Sounds:
- Grab your coat, keys, purse or wallet -- you may not be allowed back in the building
- Close door of office/room Evacuate the building immediately by the stairs (do not use the elevators)
- If unable to take the stairs down, wait in the stairwell. A building emergency team member will notify the fire department. If you have a cell phone on you, call 911 to let them know your location.
- Once outside the building, be sure to stand at least 10 metres from the building exit.
- Wait until the alarm stops and you get the ok from a building emergency team member to go back in the building.
- For emergencies where you can not evacuate building, the stairwells and washrooms are the safe places to go. Avoid rooms with exterior windows.
