SECTION III: EVACUATION AND EMERGENCY PROCEDURES Alarms: • Fire alarm sounds when sprinklers are set off in buildings. • Buildings 1 through 9 have sprinklers on the east side of the street. • Buildings 11, 12 and 18 have sprinklers on the west side of the street. • Buildings 10, 13, 14, 15 and 17 do not have sprinklers. • First responder in charge will designate someone to watch the sprinkler system valve to make sure no one turns the system off before the fire department arrives. • Notification (other than fire alarms) will be done verbally, with notification given to the foremen in all departments by radio or telephone. Evacuation: • All employees should be evacuated from the building and gather at the designated emergency meeting area. • Employees will be instructed by their supervisors where to go for assembly, such as a parking lot or the street. All employees will report before leaving the facility. • Unless physically impossible, all evacuations will be made from the building to the Sacramento Street side. • The Emergency Coordinator will be responsible for notifying outside emergency response agencies when an evacuation has begun. • Evacuation drills will be done periodically (at least once a year). Emergency: Each department will have a Team Leader and a Team Co -Leader. Responsibility falls on the Team Leader, or Co -Leader, in the Leader's absence, to account for all personnel in the department and assist in their evacuation of the department offices and the building. Follow these rules in an emergency: • Stop or and leave the building immediately when the fire alarm sounds or when you are instructed to do so. • Follow instructions, avoid panic and cooperate with those responding to the emergency. • Proceed to the designated or nearest exit. • Turn off computers, equipment, fans, etc. and close desk drawers. • Do not delay your exit from the building by looking for belongings or other people. • When leaving the building, go to your designated "employee evacuation assembly location". • Do not re-enter the building until instructed to do so by your supervisor or fire/rescue worker(s).
