Sequence of required controlling actions in the time of Fire Emergency

The Emergency Action Plan must be made available to all employees upon request. A copy of this
particular plan will be posted in each shop and custodial area for ease of reference. Additional
copies can be obtained from the Environmental Health and Safety Manager or from the
Environmental Health and Safety Training

Emergency Evacuation Training Requirements

1. whenever an employee's responsibilities or designated activities under the plan change

2. whenever the plan is altered
3. when it is apparent that refresher training should be provided

The training must address escape routes, notification of appropriate response agencies, instructions
on activating a building fire alarm system, how and when to use a fire extinguisher, and what
should be done after evacuating a building. At the appropriate times, under the direction of the
Amherst College Campus Police Chief or his/her designee, fire drills will be carried out in the
academic buildings and the residential facilities. The drills shall be conducted to familiarize the
staff and occupants with the sound of the fire alarm and to initiate the appropriate, desired response.

Emergency Exit Requirements

Exits’ accesses and discharges must be maintained and unobstructed. Exits provide a safe and
easily identifiable route out of a building in cases of emergency and allow swift and unhampered
ingress for firefighters or other emergency personnel in the event of a fire or rescue. Therefore,
designated exits must meet the following criteria:

1. All illuminated “EXIT” signs must be maintained. Custodial or electric shop staff must
change bulbs as soon as they are found to be out.
2. All emergency lights powered by battery or emergency generator must be maintained.
Custodial, electrical, and EH&S staff should test accessible emergency lights weekly. The
electrical shop staff must check those lights that are not accessible at least annually.
 3. All corridor smoke and fire doors must be kept closed to prevent smoke migration to other
parts of the building during a fire. Door chocks and stops on corridor doors shall not be
used except when actively cleaning a floor in the immediate area.
4. Corridors and stairwells cannot be obstructed or used for storage. The only items that can
be placed in corridors or stairwells are non-combustible items like soda machines and metal
cabinets as long as they do not block the exit traffic. Prohibited items include, but are not
limited to:
5. Exit doors cannot be chained or locked from the inside except in those cases where the
facility is being renovated or otherwise labeled to prevent initial entry.
6. Doors that are located within the means of egress that may be mistaken as part of the means
of egress must be labeled “Not an Exit” or otherwise identified.
7. Doors, partitions, or other effective means to prevent occupants from going past the exit
and exit discharge must interrupt stairways that continue beyond the level of exit discharge
(such as those stairwells in Frost Library and Webster).

8. Elevators cannot be used as an emergency means of egress from a building, except:

 for the evacuation of the disabled by fire or police personnel
 as otherwise permitted by the Amherst Fire Department and the Amherst College
Campus Police

9. All exits and signage must be maintained during alteration, construction, demolition, and
repair of a building. If an exit is to be blocked temporarily or the exit is part of the
construction project, an alternate means of egress must be approved by the office of
Environmental Health & Safety.

In order to ensure that all occupants of the building have evacuated safely, the Facilities Safety
Committee has instituted the following requirements:

Fire - Reporting

The following procedures shall be followed when someone discovers a fire in a building,
regardless of how large the fire is:

1) Close the door to the room where the fire is located. This will confine the fire to a smaller
area.

2) Activate the closest fire alarm system. Pull stations are usually located next to an exit or
stairwell door
3) Phone call center to report the location of the fire. You or someone you designate must make
the telephone call from a safe location as quickly as possible. Once you have given the dispatcher
the information, wait until the dispatcher hangs up before you hang up because the dispatcher may
need more information. The Amherst Fire Department through the Campus Police will know from
your call that this is an active fire and not “burned food” or a malicious false alarm.

4) Extinguish or Evacuate

1. If the fire is small and you have been trained to use the fire extinguisher, you may attempt
to put the fire out. (Refer to the Fire Extinguisher Section of this plan.)
2. If you have not been trained to use the fire extinguisher or the fire is too large to extinguish,
EVACUATE the building and:
o Go to the closest exit and proceed directly to your assigned area away from the
building. You should have a pre-designated area to meet for accountability reasons.
o Notify others on your way out that this is a real fire but do not stop to force their

5) Do not re-enter the building, until:

1. The fire alarm has been silenced, and

2. The fire or police department has indicated that it is acceptable to re-enter.

Fire Extinguishers

The fire extinguishers around the campus have been strategically placed by potential hazard, size,
and type. In most cases fire extinguishers should be located next to the main door of a room, near
an exit door (i.e., a stairwell) or every 50’ – 75’ in the corridor of a building depending on the
criteria of the Massachusetts Building Code. Fire extinguishers should not be located on the
opposite side of the room away from your only means of egress.
For health and safety reasons as required by OSHA, only persons who have been trained in the
handling, selection, and use of a fire extinguisher shall operate them. The use of the wrong type

Rescue and First Aid Procedures

Amherst College shall provide the necessary rescue and first aid services through the Amherst
College Campus Police, The Amherst Fire Department, and all properly trained Amherst College
Facilities employees. To provide the best possible rescue and first aid services, Amherst College
has adopted the following policy for our employees and other members of the campus community
if a person has become ill or injured and is in need of assistance:

1. Contact the Campus Police

2. Stay with the person until trained medical personnel arrive and take over.
3. Do not move the victim or provide care unless you are trained to do so and the victim
is at risk.
4. Facilities First Aid Providers

Ways to communicate Fire safety plan in the Factory

The Occupational Health and Safety Regulation under the jurisdiction of Work SafeBC require
that all small businesses have an occupational health and safety program. A workplace health
and safety program is a process for managing the prevention of work-related injuries and
diseases in the workplace. As a small business owner and employer you have a responsibility to
your employees to ensure workplace safety.

The scope of your health and safety program depends on the size of your business and the
hazards at your particular workplace. Generally, a small business can state its health and safety
policy and describe its program in a few pages. For sample Health and Safety plans, visit.

The following seven steps focus on the basics of a less formal program for smaller businesses;
these key steps to a safe work environment will be the basic components of your health and
safety program.

1. Create a plan to promote workplace health and safety.

As an employer, you must identify hazards in your workplace and take steps to eliminate or
minimize them. Develop a safety plan. Tell your employees what you will do to ensure their
safety and what you expect from them. Make sure your employees have access to a first aid kit.
Hazards can include: a cleaner working with heavy duty cleaning products, a mechanic working
with large machinery or a warehouse manager stacking heavy boxes.

2. Inspect workplace.
Regularly check all equipment and tools to ensure that they are well maintained and safe to use.
Also check storage areas and review safe work procedures. Are boxes in your storage area
stacked in a safe manner? Are your employees instructed how to lift heavy goods without
injuring themselves? Do your employees know where the fire exit is and where they should
gather if there is a fire?

3. Train employees.
Proper training is necessary for all employees, especially if there is a risk for potential injury
associated with a job. Provide written instructions and safe work procedures so they can check
for themselves if they are unsure of a task or have forgotten part of their training. Supervise your
employees to ensure that they are using their training to perform their job properly and
safely. By not providing the correct training for your employees you are not only endangering
the safety of your employees but you will be held liable for the incident which could have
serious consequences.

4. Talk regularly with employees.

Meet regularly with your staff and discuss health and safety issues. Encourage them to share
their ideas and thoughts on how to improve safety in the workplace. You might even consider
providing first aid training for staff so they are prepared to deal with emergency situations.

5. Investigate incidents.
Even if an incident does not result in a serious injury, conduct an incident investigation to help
determine why an incident happened so you can take steps to ensure that it will not recur.

6. Maintain records.
Keep records of all first aid treatment, inspections, incident investigations, and training activities.
This information can help you identify trends in unsafe conditions or work procedures. You can

7. Make safety a key part of your business.

Safety shouldn’t be an after-thought; it’s just as important to a successful business as customer
service, inventory control, and financial planning. A commitment to health and safety makes
good business sense because it’s the one way to protect your greatest resource — your people.
