RO EMERGENCY OPERATIONS PLAN- FIRE DRILL MAY 23
On Tuesday, May 23, there will be a fire drill here in Kerr Admin Building. Do you know the correct procedures to follow in the event of an emergency? Here is a review:
- Each individual is responsible for immediate life safety response of themselves and personnel under their care. This could include such actions as: calling 911, evacuating the immediate area, activating the fire alarm, and (depending upon level of training) providing first aid or extinguishing fires.
- The designated meeting area for all of the Research Office employees is the grassy area behind the bus stop diagonally from Kerr across 14th /15th (Evacuation Meeting Area Map).Once there, check in with Susan Emerson (A312), Susan Tillitt (A322), or Julie Meier (B306/B308) depending on which side of the building you are on, who will have a list of department employees attached to “pink” clipboards they will be holding up.
- Render first aid if you are properly trained.
- Listen for announcements or alarms and follow instructions from emergency response personnel.
- Don’t use the elevator during an emergency, use the stairs.
- If you are stranded in an elevator, use the emergency phone/intercom to summon help.
- Do not drink the water, or use gas or electric devices, until the emergency personnel determine that it is safe to do so.
- Do not attempt to fight a fire until after you have notified 911 that there is a fire, have obtained fire extinguisher training, and feel safe to do so.
A volunteer or two is still needed for B308 to sweep the office to check for co-workers/visitors that may not hear the alarm. Everyone should evacuate the building. No exceptions!
LAST CHANCE- SIGN UP FOR THE TRY-ATHALON. HAVE FUN, GET EXERCISE, COMPETE FOR GREATNESS!
We only have 3 participants signed up so far for the Faculty Staff Fitness TRY-Athlon on June 9th. The Research Office won second last year! If we don’t get some more volunteers soon I’m afraid the RO will not be able to compete for greatness this year (though you can attend as an individual).
As a reminder, there are 3 portions to the TRY-Athlon Running, Swimming, and walking. The event itself is a 20 minute relay. The team with the most combined laps for each event wins the activity category. I would be happy to be the captain again if I can get at least 5 people for each portion. This event is open to Faculty, Staff, Retirees, Spouses/Partners, GTAs/GRAs of Oregon State University. The cost is $5 per person.
Please email Kimberly.reese@oregonstate.edu ASAP!! if you are interested in joining this year. If you would like more information, please check out
