All members of the 精品成人福利在线 University Community are, by State law, required to review the Fire Evacuation Plan and to review the\u00a0staging areas and emergency exit plans<\/a> for the building in which the community members work, attend class, and\/or reside; this information is available under Section XI, Staging and Accountability<\/em>, of this fire evacuation plan. This is required to be done by all campus community members on an annual basis.<\/p>\n The objective of this document is to provide the campus community access to a comprehensive emergency evacuation procedure for the evacuation of buildings with activated fire alarms, and, in doing so, to comply with the International Fire Code, as adopted by the State of New Jersey in effect as of July 1, 2018.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n This document is applicable to all persons on the campus of 精品成人福利在线 University, including faculty, staff, students, and visitors.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n Staging areas and building evacuation maps<\/a>.<\/p>\n VI. Procedures for Residence Halls<\/p>\n Assembly Use Groups are buildings or areas used for the public to assemble.\u00a0 Examples of such buildings or areas on our campus include Kasser Theater, Memorial Auditorium, Student Center Ball Rooms, University Hall Conference Center, etc.\u00a0 When these areas are used for public gatherings (e.g. not for a class) an audible announcement shall be made not more than ten minutes prior to the start of each program to notify the occupants of the location of the exits to be used in the event of a fire or other emergency and the location of the building\u2019s staging area.<\/p>\n Those employees assigned to evacuate persons from assembly use groups shall receive training in fire safety, exit and evacuation plans, and their duties during an emergency.\u00a0 They shall receive this training at their orientation and annually thereafter.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n As with all groups staying overnight on the Campus of 精品成人福利在线 University, Summer Camps and other related groups will be responsible for their emergency evacuation and accountability. The person responsible for the entire group (henceforth, the \u201cSupervisor\u201d), is responsible for ensuring that all of his or her campers or building occupants are aware of this plan. In the event that the \u201cSupervisor\u201d has counselors, or other similar staffing to whom this duty may be delegated, he or she may delegate this duty to those individuals.<\/p>\n \u201cSupervisors,\u201d and\/or their delegated counselors, are to review the emergency egress plan with the building occupants. (Section III of this plan) Please take note that the way you enter a building is not necessarily the closest exit. Familiarize yourselves with the building before an emergency occurs. Additionally, all occupants should be aware of the designated staging areas prior to the occurrence of an emergency.<\/p>\n In the event of an alarm, all building occupants are to immediately exit the building. Elevators are not to be used. Upon exiting the building, all occupants are to gather at the designated staging areas. Once the occupants are staged, accountability, in the form of a head-count, is to be taken. If counselors are taking the accountability, their findings must be reported to the \u201cSupervisor\u201d immediately. Any discrepancy is to be immediately reported to the University Police Department, by either reporting to an officer upon his or her arrival on scene or by dialing campus police at 973-655-5222. It is important to remember to always err on the side of caution.<\/p>\n In the event that an individual is unable to exit the building, whether because of a physical impairment or due to a fire condition in the hallway, that person is to remain in his or her room and notify University Police at 973-655-5222. As a general practice, any group staying overnight should have the University Police Department\u2019s telephone number programmed into their cellular telephones.<\/p>\n Finally, a fire drill will be conducted within 24 hours of each group\u2019s arrival; participation in this drill is mandatory.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n At no time should an employee of 精品成人福利在线 University remain in a building when an alarm is sounding. The only exceptions to this are emergency personnel (e.g. the police department or a representative of the Department of Fire Safety). In the event that an unsafe condition exists, all such persons are to leave the building immediately.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n Those employees who, as part of their job, are tasked with assignments which pose a fire hazard are to receive fire safety and extinguisher training. Examples of such employees include, but are not limited to, plumbers, welders, electricians, and employees assigned to conduct or oversee \u201chot work.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n All employees will report to the building\u2019s staging area, in the event of a building evacuation.\u00a0 It is the responsibility of the hall directors, managers, and department heads to identify a responsible person (or persons, such as in the case of the residence hall directors) and a back-up person (or persons) to account for all employees, faculty, staff, students, and guests in their area at all times.\u00a0 This person will establish a meeting area within the staging area designated for each building (See maps of staging areas and building evacuation plans<\/a>\u00a0for more details on staging areas) where, in the event of an emergency, his or her employees will meet.\u00a0 At the staging area, this person will account for all employees that are in his or her work area and report his or her findings to a Building Manager or an Assistant Building Manager.\u00a0 A Building Manager and Assistant Building Manager will be assigned to each building by the Dean or Vice President who is in charge of said building.\u00a0 The Building Manager is to remain at a centralized area within the staging area until accountability is taken and reported.\u00a0 In the event that a Building Manager is unavailable, the Assistant Building Manager will act as the Building Manager.\u00a0 Once all departments have checked in with the Building Manager, he or she will report to the front of the building and give his or her findings to a University Police officer.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n Emergency aid (including emergency medical, fire, and rescue needs) will be provided by the University Police Department, the University Emergency Medical Services, and local fire departments. To receive services from these organizations, contact University Police at 973-655-5222<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n In the event that a building needs to be evacuated and no fire condition exists, emergency responders may activate the fire alarm system to signal the need to evacuate the building. Notification may also be made through electronic voice communication systems (located in several of the University\u2019s buildings), the campus text message alert system, and through e-mail. In the event that a fire exists in a building, the automatic alarm system will notify the occupants of the hazard. Manual pull stations may also be used to activate this system.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n All fire alarm systems and campus wide emergency phones are monitored at University Police headquarters. In the event of an activated fire alarm, the University Police Department will contact the appropriate fire department via phone or local police and fire radio frequencies. After they evacuate, assuming they have pertinent information, employees, students, or others are asked to contact University Police in the event of a fire. The additional data that can be gathered through your phone calls greatly helps responders in their response to our campus.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n For further information and explanation of the duties under this plan, you may contact Robert Ferrara, Director of Fire Safety, at 973-655-5401<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\nFire Evacuation Plan – Montclair<\/a><\/h2>\n
