LAB SAFETY ORIENTATION
Campus Emergency: Call University Police Department (UPD) in case of an emergency.
• From any university phone: dial 911 or ext. 4444.
• From your cell phone: dial 361-825-4444.

For a fire, life-threatening incident, or other serious incident, contact UPD
• From any university phone, dial 911 or 4444.
• If an ambulance is needed, inform UPD.

LAB SAFETY ORIENTATION
Emergency Call: • If, by mistake, you call 911 using your
cell phone, make sure to also notify UPD at (361) 825-4444 so they can assist in the response. County responders do not know where campus buildings are.

LAB SAFETY ORIENTATION
Accident Reporting – Non Life-Threatening
• Report all non life-threatening incidents to your Instructor.
• Use the first aid kit in the lab.• Go to the Health Center if needed. How do
you know if it’s needed? If you do not know, then it’s needed.

LAB SAFETY ORIENTATIONAt the beginning of the semester:• Become familiar with your building;• Know your fire exits; • Know the shortest route to the nearest
exit;• Be aware of your surroundings; • And…

LAB SAFETY ORIENTATIONEvacuation Procedures - in case of a fire or other evacuation:
• Exit the building in a calm & orderly manner.
• Use the shortest and safest passage to the exit.
• DO NOT RUN.
• Do not use the elevator.
![Page 9: Physics II Lab Safety Orientation. Overview Emergency Phone Number Fire & Emergency Evacuation Accident Reporting First Aid Lab Safety PHYSICS LAB SAFETY](https://reader037.vdocuments.site/reader037/viewer/2022102900/551c0bd4550346a34f8b5159/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
LAB SAFETY ORIENTATIONWhy to not use an elevator in a fire:
• Elevators are essentially decorated metal boxes.
• People are a species of animal.
• When one puts an animal in a metal box and applies heat, this is called “roasting”.
• In a fire, an elevator can cook you like a turkey.

LAB SAFETY ORIENTATIONEvacuation Procedures• Alert people and pull the fire alarm on
your way out if it has not already been pulled.
• Meet your class at the assembly area designated by your Instructor.
• Stay at least 100 feet away from the building (or 35 long steps)—the designated assembly area will be this distance from the building.

LAB SAFETY ORIENTATION
Evacuation Procedures
• Do not re-enter the building until the “All Clear” has been announced. It is not possible to see from outside a campus building if it is safe inside the building.
• Regardless of whether it is a real fire alarm, false alarm, or a fire drill, you are required to follow the same procedures above.

LAB SAFETY ORIENTATION
Evacuation - Helping a person with physical disabilities:
• Accompany him/her to an area of rescue assistance located at the stairwell landing.
• Call or have someone call UPD & give UPD the location.

LAB SAFETY ORIENTATION
Helping a person with physical disabiliteis, deux:
• UPD will bring him/her down the stairway using an EvacuTrak.
• Stay with him/her until UPD arrives unless your life may be in danger.
• Do not use the elevator.

LAB SAFETY ORIENTATION
Emergency Equipment:
Fire extinguisher or other “emergency equipment” may be available inside the lab. Using them is only on a voluntary basis.
Lives matter more than do equipment or furniture.

LAB SAFETY ORIENTATION
Use emergency equipment only if:• You are trained to use them.• Your own safety is not compromised.
Remember: YOUR OWN SAFETY COMES FIRST.
