FIRE
Fire Extinguisher Use
Emergency evacuation procedure
•
When the fire alarm sounds, all building occupants must evacuate the facility immediately using posted evacuation routes or the nearest exit.
•
Assist disabled individuals in your vicinity and inform safety officials of their location. Refer to the box below.
•
Walk (do not run) to the designated or nearest exit as quickly as possible. If designated exit is blocked, proceed to alternate exit.
• •
Do not use the elevator.
•
In case of inclement weather proceed to alternate building for shelter and/or first aid.
Building occupants should stay a minimum of 150 feet from the building and not hamper the Fire Department’s operations.
DO NOT ATTEMPT TO RE-ENTER THE BUILDING UNTIL SAFETY PERSONNEL ALLOW RE-ENTRY. Caught in smoke
• •
Crawl toward the exit. Breathe through your nose, cover your mouth and nose with a shirt or towel.
Trapped in building
• •
Close all doors and windows.
•
Attempt to signal people outside of the building, and call for help using a cell phone or land line.
Wet and place cloth around and under the door to prevent smoke from entering.
Improper use of a fire extinguisher can increase the hazard. If you have any doubt of your ability to fight the fire, exit immediately. If you must use a fire extinguisher, place yourself between the fire and your exit from the area. Discharge the fire extinguisher using the PASS method: Pull the pin. This will break the tamper seal, if one is provided. Aim low, pointing the extinguisher nozzle (or the horn or hose) at the base of the fire. Squeeze the handle to release the extinguishing agent. Sweep from side to side at the base of the fire until the fire is out. Watch the area. If the fire re-ignites, repeat the steps above.
Assisting people with disabilities • Always ask permission to assist individuals with disabilities.
• • •
For a person in a wheelchair, several people must carry the individual down the exit stairs. This is usually only possible when the person is in a manual wheelchair. If the person and chair are too heavy it may be necessary to carry the person down separately. (Make sure to use proper lifting techniques e.g. bending knees, keeping back straight, etc.) For a person with visual disabilities, give verbal instructions while assisting in an evacuation. Do not grasp a visually impaired person without asking permission first. Ask them to hold your hand or arm as you exit. For a person with auditory disabilities, get the attention of the person by eye contact or touch. Gestures and pointing are helpful, but be prepared to write a brief statement if that person does not seem to understand.

ACTIVE SHOOTER If an armed shooter/intruder incident does occur, the following actions are recommended. You may need to alter the following suggestions depending on the situation. • If you think you can safely make it out of the building, then do so. Notify anyone else you may encounter to exit the building immediately, but do not sound the fire alarm. This may place everyone in potential harm as they try to exit the building.

•
If you do not feel you can safely exit the building, go to the nearest room or office. Do not stay in an open hallway. Close and lock the door and turn off the lights, silence your cell phones and any audio equipment. Barricade yourself in the room with furniture or anything you can push against the door. • Lock the windows and pull down shades/close curtains. • Stay away from the windows. • Stay calm and be as quiet as possible.

HARASSMENT Any employee who becomes aware of a complaint or harassment/sexual misconduct is required to report it immediately to the Title IX Coordinator, BSC Campus Safety & Security Department, or any member of BSC Title IX Team. The college is responsible to:
• •
Take immediate and appropriate steps to investigate what occurred, regardless of whether or not the victim makes a complaint or asks the college to take action. Take prompt and effective action to: - Stop harassment. - Remedy the effects. - Prevent recurrence.
Bystander Intervention Bystanders play a critical role in the prevention of sexual and relationship violence. They are individuals who observe violence or witness the conditions that perpetuate violence. They are not directly involved but have the choice to intervene, speak up, or do something about it. We want to promote a culture of community accountability where bystanders are actively engaged in the prevention of violence without causing further harm. We may not always know what to do even if we want to help. Below is a list of some ways to be an active bystander. If you or someone else is in immediate danger, call BSC Campus Safety & Security and/or 911. This could be when a person is yelling at or being physically abusive towards another and it is not safe for you to interrupt. • Watch out for your friends and fellow students/employees. If you see someone who looks like they could be in trouble or need help, ask if they are ok. • Confront people who seclude, hit on, and try to make out with, or have sex with people who are incapacitated. • Speak up when someone discusses plans to take advantage of another person. • Believe someone who discloses sexual assault, abusive behavior, or experience with stalking. • Refer people to on or off campus resources listed in this document for support in health, counseling, or with legal assistance.

In order to ease the effects of any trauma you or others might feel regarding the incident, refer to the Mental Health Resources box on the side. SUICIDE: HOW TO HELP
1. Specifically ask the person if they are thinking about suicide. This is the most important intervention! It is a myth that talking about suicide will lead to a suicide. 2. Listen to the answer. If the person tells you they are thinking about suicide, talk to them openly. • Make statements that suicide is not a good solution and suggest alternatives to suicide. • Focus on solutions to problems and the strengths of the individual.
•
Acknowledge the individual’s pain but encourage them to find a better way to decrease the pain in their lives. • Offer hope and encourage thoughts of a happier future. 3. Encourage them to seek help. Ask them if they would like to be taken to the hospital, a counselor, a physician, a clergy member, or a family member. Go with them if possible and never keep suicide a secret from others. 4. Give them phone numbers for suicide hotlines. • Hopeline Network…………………..1-800-442-HOPE • FirstLink…………………………………….2-1-1 or 1-800-273-8255 • West Central Human Service Center 24-hour Crisis Line…………328-8899 or 1-888-328-2112
5. If you feel the individual is in immediate danger, call the police and ask them to conduct a welfare check. Remove weapons or pills from the home if you have access to them. Also, notify another person in close contact with the suicidal person and enlist their assistance. 6. Suicide Survivor’s Support Group (Bismarck chapter) can be reached at 701-255-4227.

WEATHER EMERGENCY Summer storm When notification of severe summer weather conditions are received, local warning sirens will be sounded for a period of three to five minutes. The sirens are for outdoor warning only and may not penetrate buildings and homes. Sirens are tested at 9:30 a.m. the last Friday of each month. One of the sirens is located on the roof of the BSC Armory.
Tornado watch/tornado warning A tornado watch means that the weather conditions are right for the development of tornadoes. If a tornado watch is broadcast by your local radio or television station, stay tuned for further advisories and be prepared to take cover. If a tornado warning is issued, it means a tornado has actually been sighted. Warnings are issued for individual counties and include the tornado’s location, directions, and speed. If you are in or near its path, take cover immediately. A tornado usually develops from a severe thunderstorm. During such weather, be alert for violent winds, hail, heavy rain, frequent lightning, funnel-shaped clouds and a roaring noise. When in doubt, take cover. Tornadoes are often hidden by rain or dust and can occur at night. Both tornado watches and warnings are issued by the National Weather Service through local radio and television stations. Many communities also have special warning systems such as sirens. Be alert to weather advisories and be prepared to take immediate action.
Siren signals A continuous steady warning signal indicates that a tornado has been reported within a 15-mile radius of the city. The sirens will continue to sound as long as a threat to residents exists. When sirens stop sounding, this indicates all is clear.
Winter storm The decision to not open the college due to winter weather conditions will be made by 6 a.m. The authorized employee will send a message out to the students and employees via the Campus Emergency Notification System. Return to normal working conditions shall be announced in the same manner. Closings may also be posted on the BSC home webpage.
14
WEATHER GUIDELINES If a tornado warning has been issued and you are INSIDE:
• •
Stay inside.
•
When possible, make sure there are at least two walls between you and the exterior of the building. Do not use elevators. Assist those with disabilities to a safe area on the same floor. Continue to monitor the weather via radio or television until the warning has been lifted.
• • • •
Stay away from outside walls, windows, mirrors, glass and unsecured objects such as filing cabinets or bookcases. If possible, move to a below ground level floor, interior corridor, or room or office without windows. Crouch low with your hands covering the back of your head and neck.
If a tornado warning has been issued and you are OUTSIDE:
• • • •
If you are in a car, get out of it. Never try to outrun a tornado. Look for a safe structure nearby for shelter.
• • • •
Move and/or stay indoors if possible. Only use a vehicle if absolutely necessary, and if so, use extreme caution. Monitor the weather via radio or television until the weather event has subsided.
If there is no shelter, lie down flat in a low area such as a ditch away from trees with your hands covering the back of your head and neck.
All other severe weather:
•
If outdoors where lightning is present, stay away from trees, tall structures, metal structures, poles, etc. If indoors when lightning is present outside, stay away from electronics, outlets, and anything else that may conduct an electrical charge if the building you are in were to be struck.
