SAFETY AND SECURITY
INTRODUCTION
Ogeechee Technical College is committed to providing students and employees a safe
and healthy working and learning environment that is free from hazards.
The purpose of this manual is to provide information that is intended to help protect
the safety and security of Ogeechee Technical College students and employees in the
event of campus emergencies.
This manual will be used as a guide in the development of safe working conditions
and prevention of accidents which may result in injury to individuals or damage to
buildings, facilities, and equipment.
Ogeechee Technical College will strive for the elimination of accident and health
hazards by the establishment of a safety program administered by the Director for
Campus Safety and Security.
Two responsibilities of the safety program are the establishment of emergency
procedures to diminish the effects of catastrophic events and the prevention of
accidents, whether they involve student injuries, employee injuries, or property
damage. Therefore, all employees will provide full support for all safety procedures,
training, and hazard elimination practices necessary to achieve these goals.
The Director for Campus Safety and Security, as well as supervisory personnel, are
responsible for the instruction of all employees under their jurisdiction in regard to
proper procedures and safe methods to be utilized in performing duties in the
working and instructional environment for taking immediate corrective measures to
eliminate hazardous conditions and for implementing practices for the prevention of
all accidents.
Employees must follow recognized safe work practices as a condition of employment
with Ogeechee Technical College. Students must abide by safe practices and
procedures established for the classroom, labs, or other non-instructional
environments.
iv
Each employee (full-time or part-time) will cooperate with this program. In order to
facilitate the College’s quick and appropriate reaction to threatening events, all
employees are required to do the following:
1.
Read this manual carefully and become familiar with assigned roles.
2.
Prepare to assume responsibility for your assigned duties.
3.
Store copies of this guide in classrooms, labs, and offices for quick and easy access.
4.
Attend staff development (training sessions) dedicated to emergency response
training.
5.
Report hazardous conditions or other safety concerns to the responsible supervisor
immediately, as well as to the Director for Campus Safety and Security. The
Director for Campus Safety and Security will take appropriate action to initiate
corrective measures.
6.
Individual instructors play an important role in the safety program and
management of emergency situations which occur on College property. These
individuals have the professional knowledge of the safety issues, rules, and
procedures which apply to their areas of responsibility. They have the immediate
responsibility to ensure written rules and procedures are disseminated and
followed in their work and classroom environments.
7.
To the extent each situation permits, the administration and management of
emergency response decisions shall be made by the President of the College or a
designated Vice President, along with the Director for Campus Safety and
Security.
A copy of this manual will be distributed to all employees who will receive training in
emergency procedures. The employee will then be required to sign a document
stating they have received a copy of this manual, have read the material presented,
have received training, and agree to update the plan as amendments are provided.
Copies of this manual will also be provided to TCSG, GEMA, the local Sheriff’s
Department, and the local Fire Department.
Thank you for your cooperation with emergency planning for Ogeechee Technical
College.

PREPARING FOR A CAMPUS EMERGENCY
The American Red Cross identifies an emergency as any “unplanned event that can
cause deaths or significant injuries to students, employees, or the public (visitors); or
that can shut down your institution, disrupt operations, cause physical or
environmental damage, or threaten the facility’s financial standing or public image.”
With the large number of employees and students on campus, safety is always a top
priority. In the event that the need to render assistance in an emergency arises,
Ogeechee Technical College has developed systems for effectively managing
emergency situations. Some of those systems are integral to some department
operations, such as Campus Safety and Security’s response to an on-campus injury or
Plant Operations’ response to a power outage. Other situations require a higher level
of coordination between departments.
The College has prepared this Safety and Security Manual to guide response actions
that require a high level of coordination. Ogeechee Technical College practices
various parts of its emergency plan with exercises, evacuation drills, and unit response
drills.
The most crucial element during an emergency is the need to act quickly and
appropriately. Employees should become familiar with this Safety and Security
Manual. This manual describes many emergency situations, such as bomb threats,
fires, civil disturbances, hostage situations, and inclement weather and describes the
action that should be taken in each situation. Keep this manual in a convenient
location for future reference.
Employees should also become familiar with their specific responsibility as a faculty
member, staff, or student.
Additionally, all employees must become knowledgeable about the following:

Evacuation routes. (See pages 5 – 18).

Locations of designated areas. (See page 4).

Locations of fire alarms.

Locations of fire extinguishers.

Locations of Automated External Defibrillators (AEDs). (See page 2 for marked
locations).

EMERGENCY CONTACT INFORMATION
All emergencies should first be reported to the receptionist at (912) 681-5664 (dial
only 5664 from an internal telephone). The receptionist will notify the proper
campus authorities, the Ogeechee Technical College Emergency Response Team, and
911. This guide describes in detail exactly what steps are to be taken in the event of
an emergency. These guidelines are specifically designed to enable appointed and
trained OTC personnel to effectively respond to any emergency situation that may
arise, and every effort should be made by all employees to follow the guidelines.
