3. Establish a procedure to account for employees in departments &/or floors:  Each floor of the building has 2 monitors, one for each side. During an evacuation, each monitor will begin at his/her end of the building and evacuate the hallway to the center stairwell. They will ensure doors are closed and put a sticky note on the door of each room checked. The monitors will meet at the stairwell, confirm their sides of the hall are clear then exit out of the building. They will then report to Jason Banach the status of their floors’ occupants.

4. Establish a procedure for reporting to the Emergency Control Committee and emergency personnel any missing, trapped or injured occupants:  Melonee (or Marsha) will report to emergency personnel the status of all floors in the building, including information on anyone who may be injured, trapped or missing.

DISABILITIES

In an emergency, each person has different skills and abilities. The employee with a disability is responsible for informing her/his department administrator or immediate supervisor that she/he will require assistance during an evacuation. It is important not to assume that persons with obvious disabilities need assistance, or to assume what type of assistance they may need.

1. Assign a designated area for persons who may need assistance in evacuation, e.g. hearing, mobility, vision or speech impaired, the elderly and children. The area for rescue assistance will have direct access to an exit, where those who are unable to use stairs or who are unable to navigate the emergency route may remain. Examples are:

   1. One-hour fire-resistive hallway adjacent to an exit.

   2. Vestibule located next to an exit enclosure.

   3. Portion of a balcony located near an exit stairway.

   4. Stairway landing within a smoke proof enclosure. Position the person so they do not obstruct the exit.

2. Department heads should discuss with individual employees who have indentifiable disabilities, those who have informed them of any special needs, and all newly hired, what assistance they may need and determine how they will communicate. (For further information go to: http://www.eeoc.gov/facts/evacuation.html)

   Those who indicate they may need assistance should be listed on the addendum attached to the back of this Emergency Action Plan. The information it contains is confidential and will be made available only to the person's immediate supervisor, the building manager, the Office of Risk Management, and/or the chairperson of the building's emergency control committee. It is not to be posted on the web as part of the Emergency Action Plan.

3. If a person remains in an area to await rescue, then she/he must inform evacuating building occupants of her/his location.

4. IU employees are not expected to endanger their own lives to assist with the evacuation of an employee, student or visitor. However, if an employee assists a person with a mobility impairment to a designated area, or is informed of a mobility impaired person remaining in a designated area, she/he must immediately inform responding emergency personnel or building representatives of the location of the person. (If possible, leave a two-way radio with those in an area awaiting rescue assistance.)

RESPONDING TO EMERGENCIES

Each emergency requires a different response. In bomb threat, hazardous material spill or tornado emergencies, employees may be sheltered in place. At other times building evacuation is the appropriate action. Following is information to summon emergency personnel and/or evacuate the building:

1. To summon assistance, telephone 911 to report an accident or life-threatening situation.

   FIRE, POLICE, AMBULANCE...............................................................911

   PHYSICAL PLANT/OPERATOINS
   (Utilities, Building Services, etc.).........................................................5-8728

2. Fire Procedures: To evacuate the building upon seeing smoke/fire or hearing the fire alarm (other types of evacuation are covered elsewhere in this document):

   1. Verbally warn employees in the immediate area, (such as, yelling "FIRE!") and activate alarm upon discovery of smoke or fire. The signal for a building wide evacuation will be the sound of the fire alarm. All employees are required to evacuate the building, unless otherwise assigned or authorized to remain by the emergency agency in charge. The alarm may not sound continuously. If the alarm stops, continue the evacuation and warn others who may attempt to enter the building after the alarm stops.

   2. DIAL 911, from a telephone in a safe area, to report the incident to IUPD. (There may be a 10 second delay before the operator answers.) The IU despatcher is responsible for contacting the appropriate department or agency.

   3. Give your name, building room number and type of emergency.

   4. Stay on the line until you have given all necessary information

   5. CLOSE THE DOORS AS YOU LEAVE.

   6. Use Stairways. When out, move away from building to a prearranged assembly area for a head count. Leave walks and drives open for fire and emergency responders.

   7. If necessary for a safe, orderly evacuation, activate fire extinguishers or fire hose. At the discretion of the individual, use extinguisher if trained and assigned to do so.

   8. Notify:

      
      

      1. Fire fighters if you suspect someone may be trapped inside the building

      2. Immediate supervisor, the ECC chairperson, and proper agencies for any needed services and the highest ranking member of the emergency control committee.

         • Building Manager:  Jason Banach, 855-4100

         • EEC Chairperson:   Jason Banach, 855-4100

3. Torando or Severe Thunderstorm Procedures

   In the event of a tornado or severe weather warning, the following procedure should be put into effect

   1. Listen for latest advisories on commercial and/or weather radio. (WTTS, 92.3 FM is the local Emergency Alert System station for Bartholomew, Brown, Decator, Jackson, Lawrence adn Monroe Counties.)

      1. Tornado or Thunderstorm Watch: Weather conditions are favorable for the possible development of tornadoes or severe thunderstorms. Continue normal activities but have someone monitor the situation and notify others if conditions deteriorate.

         Post spotters (any employee) at window to observe and report eminent weather changes during a tornado watch. Inform supervisor and/or bulding manager if deteriorating weather occurs or if tornado warning is issued. (Training is available from the National Weather Service to become an official severe weather spotter.)

      2. Tornado or Thunderstorm Warning: A tornado or thunderstorm is occurring or sighted in the area. In addition to dark clouds and/or hail the emergency siren may sound.

         The warning siren is a steady wail. It sounds when there is a tornado in the area. If you hear the siren, check your floor to make sure that everyone has heard the siren. Then immediately move personnel to the designated safe assembly area, such as the lowest level of your building without windows. For example, a restroom, center stairwell, hallway or office. Close the door. The siren typically sounds for five minutes. There is no "all clear" signal. Stay sheltered until the all-clear is given by the National Weather Service. Indicate area(s) where occupants will move to when not evacuating the building: center hallways and interior restrooms. If you are on the top floor, you should move to a lower floor. Make sure doors to all offices are closed. If you are outside when you hear the siren, take cover in a building close by.

   2. If necessary, initiate emergency shutdown procedures.

   3. After Tornado passes, restore calm and check for injuries

   4. Report injuries and damage to IUPD via 911, then Risk Management at 855-9758.

4. Blizzard

   1. If indoors:

      1. Stay calm and await instructions from the designated official.
      2. Stay indoors!
      3. If there is no heat:
      • Close off unneeded rooms or areas.
      • Stuff towels or rags in cracks under doors.
      • Cover windows at night.
      
      
      4. Eat and drink. Food provides the body with energy and heat. Fluids prevent dehydration.
      5. Wear layers of loose-fitting, lightweight, warm clothing, if available.
      
      

   2. If outdoors:

      1. Find a dry shelter. Cover all exposed parts of the body.
      2. If stranded in a vehicle:
      • Stay in the car or truck.
      • Run motor about ten minutes each hour. Open the window a little for fresh air. Make sure exhaust pipe is not blocked.
      • Make yourself visale to rescuers.
      • Exercise to keep blood circulating and to keep warm.
      
      

5. Earthquake

   An earthquake usually occurs without any type of warning. Due to the suddenness, all personnel should attempt to get under a table or desk, or any place that the employee feels is safe. After an earthquake has stopped, initiate the following procedure:

   1. Stay calm and await instructions from the designated official.
   2. Keep away from overturned fixtures, windows, filing cabinets, and electrical power.
   3. Check for injuries and provide assistance as needed.
   4. Maintenance department should check for fires and shut off utilities to control gas and water leaks.
   5. If major structural damage has occurred, the Emergency Control Committee should order a complete evacuation. The building should be ispected by Physical Plant for damage before reentry.
   6. Physical Plant should then notify proper agencies, companies or departents as needed.

6. Flood

   1. If outdoors:

      1. Climb to high ground.
      2. Avoid walking or driving through flood water
      3. If Car stalls, abandon it immediately and climb to higher ground.
      
      

   2. If indoors:

      1. Be ready to evacuate as directed by the designated official.
      2. Time permitting, move vital material and equipment to highre ground.

MEDICAL EMERGENCIES

Emergency Medical Services (EMS) personnel or those individuals who are trained by the American Red Cross will provide first aid. Until rescue personnel arrive, administer first aid in the building or, in the event of a complete evacuation, at a designated safe assembly area outside.

1. Call 911 immediately if the injury is life threatening. Provide the following information:

   1. Nature of medical emergency.
   2. Location of the emergency (address, building, room number).
   3. Your name and phone number from which you are calling.

      1. Stop the bleeding with firm pressure on the wounds (note: avoid contact with blood or other bodily fluids).

      2. Clear the air passages using the Heimlich Maneuver (abdominal thrusts or chest compressions) in case of choking.

   3. In case of rendering assistance to personnel exposed to hazardous materials, consult the MSDS and wear the appropriate personal protective equipment. Attempt first aid ONLY if trained and qualified. Call 911 and refer to Hazardous Substance Spill section of this document.

4. PROCEDURE FOR EMERGENCY SHUTDOWN OF OPERATIONS

   An emergency shutdown of the Poplars Building can be ordered by the building manager or the ranking member of the Poplars Building Emergency Control Committee in concert with Physical Plant, law enforcement, the Office of Risk Management or local fire department. No employee should risk any type of injury. However, if time permits, personnel should perform the following duties:

   1. An emergency shutdown of computers should be accomplished in the event of a severe electrical storm. If time permits, exit the program and shut off the computer power supply.

   2. Utility Controls will be shut off by maintenance personnel who will know the location and operation of main controls for gas, fuel oil and eletrical supply (this building has all 3) leading into the building. For utility or bulding service emergencies, call 855-8728.

   3. BOMB or BIOLOGICAL, NUCLEAR, INCENDIORY, CHEMICAL, EXPLOSIVE (B-NICE) THREAT

      Indiana University policy is to evaluate bomb/B-NICE threats in order to determine the appropriate action that must be taken. The threat that a bomb/B-NICE has been planted is usually made via the telephone. In the majority of cases, these threats have been provided to be false and no device or material was located. However, the potential for loss of human life and property is so great that each situation must be pursued and evaluated. For more information, refer to Bomb/Bio-Chemical Threat Policy.

      1. Telephone Threat: The person receiving a telephone bomb/B-NICE threat should remain calm and obtain as much information as possible by completing the following checklist at the end of this section. If your phone is equipped with caller identification, write down the number that is on the display screen. After the caller hangs up, immediately call 911. Give all available information. Notify IUPD, then immediate supervisor.

      2. Written Threat: Written threats can come in the form of a note, letter or fax, through the U.S. mail or campus mail. Any document will become evidence at the trial of any perpetrator. It may, in fact, be critical to a successful prosecution and positive identification of the perpetrator. It therefore is extremely important.

         1. DO NOT handle the envelope or letter/note any more than is necessary and limit the number of persons who touch these items. Know who the people are that have touched these items so elimination fingerprints can be obtained. Once proper notification has been made to police/security personnel, place the item(s) in a folder or large envelope to protect them and tell others not to handle them.

         2. Immediately call 911 to notify the campus police or persons with the safety/security responsibility at any IU facility

         3. Safeguard the received material until it is given to proper authority.

      3. Suspicious Package: If a suspicious package or device is found, immediately notify the police. Do not touch or handle any suspicious item! Do NOT use the fire alarm. Request all persons to leave the room the package is in.

         If the package is a suspected bio-hazard (e.g. Antrax): It is unlikely that any threat of exposure to a bio-hazard, such as anthrax, will be found, but the potential exists. All such threats should be taken seriously.

         1. Appearance

            1. Powdery substance felt through or appearing on the package or envelope.
            2. Oily stains, discoloration, or odor.
            3. Lopsided or uneven envelope
            4. Excessive packaging material such as masking tape, string, etc.
            5. Excesive weight
            
            

         2. Handling Suspected Packages or Envelopes

            1. Do not shake or empty the contents of any suspicious package or envelope.
            2. Do not carry the package or envelope, show it to others or allow others to examine it.
            3. Put the package or envelope down on a stable surface; do not sniff, touch, taste, or look closely at it or at any contents which may have spilled.
            4. alert others in the area. Leave the area. Close any doors and assemble outside the room's entrance. Take actions to prevent others from entering the area.
            5. WASH hands with soap and water to prevent spreading potentially infectious material to face or skin.
            6. Notify IUPD, by calling 911, and your supervisor.
            7. If possible, create a list of persons who were in the room or area when the suspicious letter or package was recognized and a list of persons who also may have handled it.
            8. Await arrival of assistance
      
      

   4. Bomb/B-NICE Threat Evacuation: A bomb/B-NICE threat evacuation is entirely different from a fire evacuation. The use of fire alarms is not recommended since it does not allow for a controlled evacuation. Upon locating or being advised of a bomb/B-NICE threat, the building manager her/his designee or the ranking member of the Poplars Building Emergency Control Committee will cordon off the area, wait until IUPD arrives, and then consult with the University Police for an evacuation deision. The University Police is responsible for ordering this type of evacuation. If a decision to evacuate is made a uniformed police officer, going room-to-room, will notify occupants of the decision to evacuate. If evacuation takes place, do not reenter until the building has been searched and declared safe by the authority having jurisdiction. Primary evacuation routes must be searched pror to ordering an evacuationunless the on-scene police officer determines otherwise.

   HAZARD SUBSTANCE

   The following are the locations of:
   Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS):  Custodial Office
   Personal Protective Equipment (PPE):  N/A
   Spill Containment and Security Equipment:   N/A

   Chemical Spill
   Introduction: The HAZardous Waste Operations and Emergency Response standard, 29 CFR 1910.120 paragraph (q) covers:

   "Emergency response operations for releases of, or substantial threats of releases of, hazardous substance without regard to the location of the hazard."

   "Hazardous substances" includes substances that have the potential to cause either acute or chronic health problems due to chemical or physical properties. "Location" means any place on the IU campus where chemicals are being used or stored, such as the Chemistry Building, Physical Plant, IU Art Museum, dark rooms, etc.
   Releases are either incidental or emergency response situations.

   1. Incidental Release

      An incidental release is a release of a hazardous substance which does not pose a significant safety or health hazard (i.e., fire, explosion, or chemical exposure) to employees in the immediate vicinity or to the employee cleaning up the released hazardous substance. In addition, an incidental release does not have the potential to become an emergency within a short time frame. Incidental releases are limited in quantity, exposure potential, and toxicity and present minor safety or health hazards to employees in the immediate work area or those assigned to the clean up. Responses to incidental releases of hazardous substnaces where the substance can be absorbed, neutralized, or otherwise be safely controlled at the time of release by the employee in the immediate release area are not considered to be emergency response within the scope of this standad.

      All employees that work with hazardous substances must be trained to protect themselves in handling incidental releases per the training requirements of the Hazard Communication standard (29 CFR 1910.1200) or the OSHA Lab Standard (29 CFR 1910.1450). Response to a release of this nature does not require full Hazardous Waste Operations & Emergency Response (HAZWOPER) training, this will be covered in the next section.

   2. Emergency Response Situation
      A release that requires an emergency response regardless of the circumstances is defined by the situation and requires full HAZWOPER training. An emergency response includes the following situations:

      1. The response comes from outside the immediate area of the release. (This includes in-plant personel who are outside the immediately affected area but respond to the release).
      2. The release required evacuation of employees in the area.
      3. The release poses, or has the potential to pose Immediately Dangerous of Life and Health (IDLH) conditions.
      4. The release requires immediate attention because of imminent danger.
      5. The release may cause high levels of exposure to toxic chemicals.
      6. One is uncertain as to whether the employee in the work area can handle the severity of hazard considering the Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) and equipment provided.
      7. The situation is unclear or data are lacking on important factors.
      
      

      Whether a situation is incidental or requires an emergency response must be determined on a case-by-case basis. However, the prime component is knowledge and understanding of the chemical, its hazards, and proper handling procedures. Other factors that play a role in this determination are the quantity released, vnetilation considerations, confined space considerations, and personal protective equpment available.
      Essentially, one must determine what the circumstances are, then determine the capabilities of the personnel available, and lastly determine whether the release is incidental or warrants an emergency response. Therefore, if a release occurs and it is considered more than incidental, you should contact the Department of Environmental Health and Safety's (DEHS) Emergency Response Team at 855-6311 or by dialing 911 after hours.

      There is a possibility of an emergency response situation in any area that contains hazardous substances. The principal investigator (or supervisor) for each area is responsible for determining if such a HAZWOPER emergency response situation could occur under a worst-case scenario. All HAZWOPER emergency response would require evacuation of personnel. The Principal Investigator (or supervisor) must designate employees who have training and competency as a HAZWOPER First Responder to decide if other employees need to be evacuated under 29 CFR 1910.38 (a), Emergency Action Plans. The spill could then be addressed by DEHS's Emerge3ncy Response Team. As in the past, DEHS will provide an advisory role to incidental spill response if assistance is needed.
