Follow-up to Safety Walk Through 6-13-12

As a follow-up to our building safety walk-through during yesterday’s staff meeting, I wanted everyone to have a copy of the Security and Emergency Phone Numbers.  A copy is in your mail box.  Copies are also posted by the phones in the Workroom, Delivery desk, and 2^nd and 3^rd floor desks.  The numbers include the GSD Call Center and after-hours call center numbers, as well as the Neighborhood Libraries administration number, Worker’s Compensation (to report any staff-related accident) and Child Protective Services (if a child should be left alone more than 15 minutes after closing).

These numbers are important if you are here in the evening or on Saturdays and a building emergency or security problem occurs.  We’ll review branch emergency procedures during a future staff meeting.

Staff members on the after-hours emergency call list (me, Alice, and Pedro) have additional information about handling after-hours calls from the alarm-monitoring company. 

Knowing what to do in case of an emergency falls under two Performance Evaluation factors:

·         Location Maintenance and Support (“Responds to all emergency and security situations in a timely fashion, during business and after-hours.  Reacts to emergency situations appropriately and reports back to the manager or the person in charge in a timely manner.  Promptly reports incidents.  Monitors and reports problems with the condition of building, grounds, furniture, and equipment at location(s).  Responsible for safety compliance and emergency preparedness.”)   

·         Safety Awareness/Performance Record (“reports hazardous conditions or procedures”)

Please let me know if you have any questions about this.
