Building & Fire Evacuation
Overview
The organization of the safety program is designed to facilitate knowing the
regulations with which we must comply, accepting responsibility for safety on
various levels, and fulfilling our obligations. UNBC's Occupational Health &
Safety Policy identifies compliance with all relevant statutes, regulations and
standards of government agencies (and other regulatory authorities relevant to
occupational health) minimum requirements. |
Building
Alarms at the Prince George Campus
The core campus buildings (Administration Bldg., Conference & Fitness
Centre, Power Plant Bldg., Laboratory Bldg., Library Building and Agora
Building) are equipped with a two-stage alarm system. In certain circumstances
the alarm bells will ring intermittently before ringing steadily. The two
different stages are an indication of the possible device(s), which have been
set off.
All other campus buildings are equipped with a single-stage alarm system
which means the alarm bells will ring steadily upon the initiation of any alarm
activating device (i.e. smoke detector, heat detector, pull station, etc.)
Evacuation is to commence upon the ringing of the alarm bells regardless of
whether the ringing is intermittent or steady.
Fire and Evacuation Procedures
IF YOU DISCOVER A FIRE OR SMELL SMOKE
- IMMEDIATELY, sound the fire alarm by activating the nearest red alarm pull
station.
- Call Security at a phone outside the affected area. Dial 3333. If you are calling from the Residence Building,
or from a private cellular phone, Dial (250) 960-7000. Tell them you are
reporting a fire. If in proximity to a Help Line (press button and speak) or
Public Telephone (press yellow button labelled "S", use this means to report the
fire.)
- If you are qualified, attempt to extinguish or control the fire using an
available fire extinguisher.
- If you cannot control the fire, isolate it by closing the doors. Leave the
building by the nearest safe exit and proceed to the nearest assembly point
outside the building.

Building
Evacuation Routes / Plaques
-
FAMILIARIZE YOURSELF WITH THE EVACUATION ROUTES well enough that you could
find your way out of the building in darkness.
-
Evacuation routes within all campus buildings are identified on red
Evacuation Plan plaques which are conspicuously located in the hallways at each
level. Please familiarize yourself with these routes as well as the geography of
each building you be occupying for any period of time.
