•It is inevitable that this class interferes with lab sessions, proctoring, and tests. I have had videos or
powerpoints made of all sessions. If you need to "make up" a missed session, refer to the syllabus.•These videos are available on-line. See CARMEN
(content) or the Safety Page for the details.•Powerpoint shows will be used to make up the “Lab
Safety/Emergency Response” and the “Lab Standard” sessions.

27
Laboratory Safety and Emergency Response
Building Evacuations• Refer to your BEAP
• Building code requirements result in stairways being the safest
locations in a building in the event of a fire. Stairways are
routinely checked for people needing assistance by the
firefighters.
• Personnel should not use elevators as a means of
evacuation.
• Evacuees should not stop immediately after exiting the building,
but proceed well away from the building so as to be clear of the
fire and also not impede the movements of firefighters and fire
fighting equipment.
Department of Chemistry and BiochemistryChemistry.osu.edu/safety
28
Laboratory Safety and Emergency Response
Building EvacuationsClassroom instructors are expected to interrupt class activity and advise students to evacuate the building.
Within the Department of Chemistry, Supervisors, Faculty, TA's, and Safety personnel are expected to make a quick
visual inspection of the floor (including labs, offices, bathrooms, and stairwells) to make sure that everyone is leaving the building. If performing this inspection poses unreasonable risk, then proceed to the nearest stairwell
and exit the building.
Department of Chemistry and BiochemistryChemistry.osu.edu/safety
29
Laboratory Safety and Emergency Response
Building EvacuationsUnless specifically requested and considered advisable by
those providing the assistance, moving persons in wheelchairs down a stairway is not recommended. One individual should remain with the disabled person, if this can be done without unreasonable personal risk. Others should
evacuate the building and advise of the location of the persons remaining in the building so that the evacuation may be
completed by the emergency personnel. Elevators should not be used to move persons with disabilities for the reasons
outlined above.
The building should not be reentered unless indicated safe by fire officials or University Safety Personnel at the
scene.
