Emergency Procedures

Evacuation Procedure

In the event of a building evacuation (due to fire alarm or other evacuation notice from first responders), please secure all lab materials and then exit the building via the closest emergency exit route. Once you exit the building, gather in the designated Emergency Assembly Area. Unless directed otherwise, assemble in the Durant Ave courtyard away from the building. 

Once first responders arrive, follow all their instructions. When the building is deemed safe for re-entry, that will be announced in the assembly area and via Slack.

Emergency Coordinators

In preparation for a possible evacuation, you should designate someone in your company as the roll taker for your team. This person should be in the building most days and, in the case of an evacuation, they will be responsible for checking that everyone on your team who was in the building that day has evacuated. They will then be responsible for reporting that roll call, and any people who are not accounted for, to the Building Coordinators (Amelia and Jim).

Please submit ticket with the name and phone number of your company's emergency coordinator, as well as an alternates you would like to designate in case someone is unavailable.

First Aid Kits

There are four first aid kits around the building that are maintained by the building staff and available for use in case of any incidents. The kits are in the following locations: outside Lab 502, in the Bike Room, outside of Lab 115, and in the rounded alcove next to the Studio. If you notice any supplies missing from one of these first aid kits, please submit a ticket.

Bakar Labs Building Emergency Plan

Bakar Labs maintains a Building Emergency Plan that details the procedures for a number of emergency scenarios, including additional detail on evacuation, sheltering in place, earthquakes, and other situations. It also includes a map of the emergency supplies and equipment throughout the building, and can be used as a resource when developing a company-specific emergency plan.

If you would like to view a hard copy of this plan, please visit the Business Operations Office (Room 303). If you would like an electronic version of the plan, you can do so here.
