2. Platform or high heeled shoes should be removed and carried.
3. When descending the stairs, stay to your right, out of the way of emergency personnel.
4. Merge alternately when two lines meet at floor landings.

Special planning needs to be done to provide assistance as needed for any physically impaired employees. PRE-EMERGENCY PLANNING

1. Make sure individuals have read your Company handbook or this general information.
2. Have an “assistant” assigned to aid a physically impaired person. Make sure the “assistant” knows where the employee is located and the type of disability.
3. Have the “assistant” meet with the individual to discuss the best method of assistance.
4. Train the “assistant” in the best method for transporting occupant with restricted mobility. Make sure the “assistant” is prepared physically to carry the impaired individual if necessary. Wheelchairs should enter stairwell last, so as not to back evacuation flow and/or emergency personnel.

EMERGENCY ACTIONS Upon notification of an emergency:

1. Have “assistant” proceed to assist assigned person.
2. Proceed to the stairwell. NOTE: As Old Mill Corporate Center Campus are fully sprinkled buildings, the physically impaired person and the “assistant” may choose to enter the stairwell and remain there. If this is the case, the Property Manager should be notified of the location. If further evacuation is necessary, the “assistant” should assist the physically impaired person or get help from the Fire Department.
3. The “assistant” should remain with physically impaired person until emergency is over or until given instruction to do otherwise by emergency personnel.
4. Ambulatory: Move them to the nearest exit door. Stand by until the stairway is clear. Follow them down to the street level and to the pre-designated meeting location assisting them whenever needed.
5. Non-Ambulatory: Move them to the nearest exit door and wait for fire department personnel. If room becomes untenable, remove the person from the wheelchair and move them into the stairway clear of traffic and wait for fire department personnel.
6. All disabled persons should have an assistant assigned to assist them from your office. During an emergency, at no time should disabled persons be left alone.
7. Each tenant shall maintain an updated list of non-ambulatory and/or disabled persons. This list is to be kept in the Building Manager’s Office and is to be made available to the fire department during emergency evacuation.

When severe weather conditions become apparent, the U.S. Weather Bureau describes conditions by two (2) classifications, a Watch or a Warning. This applies to the reporting of severe thunderstorms, the approach of weather conditions favoring the formation of tornadoes, a hurricane condition, a winter storm condition, etc. A Watch becomes effective when atmosphere conditions are present that can produce the particular weather phenomenon. A Warning means that the weather condition has been spotted and prompt action must be taken to enhance safety. Except in very rare circumstance, the decision to evacuate the building based on the above weather reports will not be made by Building Management, but rather by each Tenant Company. However, in the event these conditions do exist, the following guidelines should adhere to:

• Move away from the outside windows. If the windows in your offices are supplied with blinds, close the blinds (this will provide protection from the broken glass).
• Try to remain calm.
• If evacuated, lock all desk drawers and take all items of value with you.
• If evacuated, use a route that is in the building interior and stay away from large expanses of glass and windows.
• Use stairwells rather than the elevators.
• If evacuated, do not return to your office until advised to do so.

If there is a toxic spill or exposure, proceed immediately to an area where you are no longer exposed. Call 911. Provide the building’s address, your floor, suite and phone number, and also what type of spill has occurred. Take appropriate action to contain the hazard; close doors behind you, and always follow all safety procedure when working with toxic materials.

Main power can be lost due to downed lines, malfunctions at a sub-station, inclement weather, planned blackouts or in extreme cases a grid-wide failure. In the event of a power outage, a power transfer switch is used to connect emergency power to the building diesel generator. After a couple seconds the building power will transfer and be restored to the entire building by the building generator emergency power.

Fire extinguishers are essentially first-aid devices provided and maintained close at hand for immediate use when needed. It must be understood that they are designed to cope with fires and are required even though the property is equipped with automatic sprinklers. Extinguishers are classified by their ability to extinguish various types of fires. It is important to use the right type of extinguisher. The wrong extinguisher may fail to extinguish the fire as well as cause personal hazard from electrical shock, poisonous fumes, or may even spread the fire. The fire extinguishers located in the common area are multipurpose dry chemical extinguishers that are suitable for all types of fires. One fire extinguisher is required for every 1,500 square feet and they must be within a 75’ distance of each other. For your convenience, building management contracts with a certified state inspection firm to complete the required inspections each year. Please familiarize yourself with locations of fire extinguishers in case of emergency.

In the event of a flood that may cause damage to tenant property or affect the normal operation of the building, designated tenant representatives will be contacted by Building Management personnel, regardless of the time of day. The first priority is to discover the cause and prevent or minimize additional flooding.

IT CAN BE AS EASY AS A-B-C: A-Airway

• Place victim flat on his/her back on a hard surface.
• Shake victim’s shoulders and shout, “Are you ok?”
• If no response, call 911.
• Head tilt/chin lift – open victim’s airway by tilting their head back with one hand while lifting their chin up with your other hand.

B-Breathing

• Position your cheek close to the victim’s nose and mouth, look toward victim’s chest.
• Look, Listen, and Feel for breathing (5-10 seconds).
• If not breathing, pinch victim’s nose closed and give 2 full breaths into victim’s mouth (use micro shield from first aid kit).
• If breaths won’t go in, reposition head and try again to give breaths. If still blocked, perform abdominal thrusts (Heimlich maneuver).

C-Circulation

• Check for carotid pulse by feeling for 5-10 seconds at the side of victim’s neck.
• If there is no pulse, begin chest compressions as follows:
• Place heel of one hand on lower part of victim’s sternum. With your other hand directly on top of first hand, depress sternum 1.5 to 2 inches.
• Perform 15 compressions to every 2 breaths at a rate of 80-100 per minute.
