Chemical Spill or Radiation Release

In the event of a chemical spill or radiation release:

  • Immediately report the incident to the Butler University Police Department at 911 and give the location, material(s) involved, and the extent of any injuries.
  • Activate the building alarm. Caution: The building alarm may be a local alarm and therefore might ring only in the building; you must also report the emergency by telephone.
  • Evacuate the building and leave clear access for arriving emergency personnel.
  • Assist the disabled in exiting the building! Remember that elevators are reserved for the disabled person's use. Do not use elevators in case of fire.
  • If requested, assist emergency crews as necessary.
  • A campus Emergency Command Post may be set up near the emergency site.
  • Keep clear of the command post unless you have official business.
  • Do not return to an evacuated building unless told to do so by a university official.
