Student Services Center – Secured Areas & Exits

Safety Doors The Student Services Building has safety doors. When the alarms sounds, the doors close automatically. Please don’t try to keep the door open. If you need to exit the building, simply push or pull open the doors. If fire does occur, the closing of the doors will help prevent it from spreading through out the building.

Fire safety and Precautions and Recommendations Know the escape routes and practice them regularly! You may be blinded by smoke. Implement the buddy system. Every person in our office should know about the whereabouts of the person next to or across from them. Some of the main causes of fire in the buildings are the following Misuse of cooking appliances Overloaded electrical Circuits and extension cords. This greatly increases the risk of fire Coffee Makers, heaters, hot plates are not approved to be plugged into our cubicle or office outlets. An electrical Short is a warning that we have overloaded the electrical system and is shutting itself off If you have these items in your office, please REMOVE THEM IMMEDIATELY.

SECURITY PROCEDURES Part of the security in our work place is the alarm system handled by the UPD. The other part is us! We have to take a major role in securing our office. How do we do that? Make sure the door you are coming in or going out of closes and locks behind you. Don’t use trash cans or chairs to prop the doors open, while you run to another office, even if you think it will only be for a minute. If you notice one of the SSC doors not working properly, please notify a B.E.T. member ASAP or call the University Police Lock your office and secure your personal belongings Part-time or student staff should not be in the building after hour or weekends unless accompanied by a full-time staff member Do not allow non-employees to enter the building If you see individuals that are unfamiliar to you or an employee who works in another area walking around the office, question why they’re here and who they need to see or notify a BET member. Employees must wear their staff ID’s (including student staff) at all times Notify the University Police Department if you are going to work late evenings and/or weekends. Provide UPD with your name, title and location. If necessary call for a University PD escort. Do not schedule external meetings in secured areas. Only internal staff meetings should take place in secured area conference rooms. “Visitor badges” are in the front customer service area of SSC. Have your guest check with the students working in the “donut”. Also, please provide the students with your meeting information and name of your guest. The BET will review the visitors login monthly. Be alert! Report any unusual occurrences! Our security system will only work if we work as a team!
