Bio Hazard Safety

1Make an IDentifyED help request, selecting the appropriate type of request. Your campus may have a Bio Hazardous help request or they may simply have a help request to report an injury or a safety issue. Select that most accurate choice. If you can and you have a little time, describe the incident in the text area if the help request has a text area, also if you can try and send a picture to help responders.

2If the incident is going to affect areas of the campus beyond a very small area and may result in harm to anyone. If you have the ability to make an IDentifyED emergency broadcast make the appropriate broadcast, if not contact security so that they can do a campus emergency notification. The IDentifyED system has integration into the I Love U Guys Foundation’s standard response procedures, these procedures will tell people how they need to respond and reduce panic during a bio hazard incident.

3Use the IDentifyED 911 feature on the help request this will directly you to specific campus response personnel on IDentifyED and explain to the dispatcher the issue. Make certain they know that you believe that the entire campus or simply a group of people need to be sent an emergency broadcast. Emergency personnel have the tools during a bio hazard incident to send out SRP standard response procedures broadcasts or a simply implement news or alert broadcast providing specific response instructions to a bio hazard incident.

4Emergency Personnel during a bio hazard incident with IDentifyED can also involve or escalate to additional personnel as well as any emergency responders.

5Emergency Responders will also maintain and update critical event message boards about the bio hazard incident, that will allow everyone in the campus to get the most critical and up-to-date information.

6If you need help or others need help during the bio hazard incident, you can make additional help requests that might document additional assistance and additional people who might be injured during the bio hazard incident.

7For IDentifyED Schools only; During a bio hazard incident, every class should take attendance so that emergency responders know who is in class and what class they are in.

8Everyone during a bio hazard incident should check-in to a location, class, event, group or transportation so that emergency responders know where everyone is.

9If you check-in, and then need help — emergency responders will be able to respond to your specific location with much better detail. For example, during a bio hazard incident it is possible that you are on the 6th floor in room 601 of a 20-story building and the event is on the 5th floor. If you need assistance, your IDentifyED reported longitude and latitude will only tell the responders what building you are in, a good check-in will help them narrow it down the floor and room, so that they can find you.

10If you are handicapped during a bio hazard incident, in any way and the elevators are disabled. Make a handicapped help request with your specific checked in location (in some campuses they have designated handicapped assistance locations, so emergency responders can help you during the bio hazard incident emergency.

16If you check-in, and then need help — emergency responders will be able to respond to your specific location with much better detail. For example, during a bio hazard incident it is possible that you are on the 20th floor in room 2001 of a 20-story building.
