Personnel could become trapped in them by nature of the emergency. Personnel are not to congregate in or around the building exits or doorways, once they are outside the building or emergency area. Personnel must be at least 100 feet away from the building to enable rescue or responding vehicles and personnel to get to the site of the emergency. The Public Safety Officer promptly informs building evacuees of the reason for the evacuation. Department chairs must make arrangements for safe evacuation of staff with mobility impairments.
Faculty are responsible for making arrangements for their students with such impairments.
Students and employees who need assistance are to wait until the others have evacuated so as not to cause delays at exit openings and stairs. A designated person will direct fire fighters to the location of anyone waiting for assistance in a safe refuge area. Michigan Technological University . All Rights Reserved.
