Safety/Hazard Prevention

The campus grounds and buildings are continuously monitored for safety. The College works to correct lighting and other potential hazards. Hazardous conditions that pose a threat to safety such as fire, health, environmental, etc., should be reported immediately by calling extension 2911.

Fire Alarms:
For your protection, all buildings are equipped with fire alarm systems, smoke detectors and sprinkler systems. When a fire alarm sounds, we are required by law to evacuate the respective buildings by the nearest exit. Do not re-enter the buildings unless authorized to do so via the Public Address System by the Department of Public Safety. Fire alarm pull stations are located near exits: learn the location of the one nearest your work location.

In Case of Fire:

Close the door to the fire area
Call 2-9-1-1 to report the fire; activate the alarm system
Evacuate the building
Do NOT use elevators

General Fire Safety:

No storage in exits, corridors or stairwells
Don't overload electrical outlets
Use heavy duty extension cords on a temporary basis
Handle flammable liquids with care
Don't leave appliances unattended
Good housekeeping is essential for a fire safe workplace
If your clothes catch fire, stop-drop-roll

Smoking:
For everyone's safety and health and in accordance with the Monroe County health regulations, (Article VI of the Monroe County Sanitary Code), smoking is prohibited inside campus buildings at all College sites. In addition, the College has limited smoking areas on the exterior of the Brighton Campus. Smoking is permitted only at clearly marked, designated ground level locations. As always, thoroughly extinguish all smoking materials and dispose of properly in the ashtrays provided.

Emergency Services:
The Safety Office assists in providing emergency medical response for illness and injuries by a certified paramedic. Dial 2-9-1-1.
