For general information, answers to your questions, and/or clarifications on health and safety issues, please call 3-7233. During a disaster response, a central Emergency Operations Center (EOC) coordinates emergency information and resources. The current EOC is located at the Public Safety Building.  The campus EOC is supported by "Satellite Operations Centers (SOCs) located in the administrative headquarters of Deans, Vice Provosts, and Vice Presidents. SOCs transmit emergency impact reports to the EOC, and forward emergency information and instructions to their constituents.

·        Emergency Preparedness. There is an excellent administrative emergency preparedness training program available on-line. The program is similar to training made available for lab personnel; however, it is geared toward the administrative staff. I would encourage you to check it out.  Here are some topics to consider when planning your departmental emergency plans:

·     Earthquake Preparedness

·     School of Medicine Seismic Safety Memo

·     Demonstrations of seismic anchoring (contact SOM Safety office for appointment and demo)

·     Winter Storm Preparedness

·     Response Topics

·     Emergency Assembly Points

·     Recovery Topics

 

Fire extinguisher training is a fun & educational way to become better prepared for an emergency at work or at home. Training can be organized through the University Fire Marshall’s Office. Call Alison Pena 6-5099.

Stanford University Medical Center is known for its outstanding achievements in teaching, research and patient care. The faculty, staff, and students have access to numerous facilities within the Medical Center. These are Stanford School of Medicine, Stanford Hospital and Clinics, and Lucille Packard Children’s hospital at Stanford.  To get an overview of these facilities one need only look at the campus map.

 

Lab safety training will cover emergency preparedness; lab safety and chemical hygiene; chemical waste and hazardous materials management; working safely with biohazards; meeting compliance requirements for safe lab practices; health and safety statutes; and where to find answers to your questions. For this reason laboratory safety training is required of all laboratory personnel. In addition, it is encouraged for all personnel who support routine activities and administrative areas for laboratory staff.

 

New principal investigator orientation: The PI is responsible for ensuring that all laboratory personnel, including part-time students and visiting scientists, are properly trained and informed of the safety regulations H&S is aware of the increasing number of new chemicals, biohazards, equipment, and procedures being introduced in biomedical workplace. This, coupled with the most stringent environmental regulations in effect in our county and state, has necessitated a health and safety training program for the PIs in the Medical School's research and clinical laboratories. The goal of the program is to inform and prepare the new investigator to train his/her own lab staff.

 

Specific training sessions:

·           Lab safety training 

·           Bloodborne pathogen training

·           Initial training 

·           Annual update training

·                                      New Principal Investigator orientation

·           Administrative Emergency Training
