Emergency evacuation procedures All employees on campus during spring break are trained in emergency evacuation procedures. Each building on campus is evacuated using the buildings fire alarm system. This exercise gives employees an opportunity to practice emergency evacuation procedures, review locations of exits, the sound of the fire alarms in their building and their assembly area location. Building safety representatives practice their responsibilities during this drill. Specific topics and information concerning environmental health and safety issues is distributed monthly to departments in high hazard occupations for safety training of employees by supervisors.
Supervisors review and discuss the monthly topic with their employees.
The training session is documented and an attendance sheet is sent to the USD office of environmental health and safety. A newsletter published by the USD office of environmental health and safety is distributed quarterly to all departments. The newsletter contains information to increase awareness of health and safety issues. Department heads and building safety representatives are encouraged to use the newsletter to keep employees informed of this information.
