If a gas cylinder or other chemicals should begin leaking, and if in the judgment of the persons responsible for such materials the leak presents any danger to themselves or the building occupants, the following steps should be taken:
- Confine the fumes or fire by shutting the room door, if it is safe to do so.
- Sound the building fire alarm so evacuation can begin.
- Call 911 or 9-911 and Student Services On-Call support at 319-8742. Give your name, location, and the nature of the emergency.
- Evacuate to a safe area at least 500 feet away from the building. Do not return to the building until you are instructed that it is safe to do so.
- Suspected gas leaks or suspicious odors should also be reported to Maintenance and Operations at 855-0584 so appropriate action can be taken.
