In case of Emergency, an excerpt:

Call 4444 or 520-4444 from any payphone on campus.

Dialing either 911 (or 9911) or 4444 in the event of an emergency will allow Safety Officers to pinpoint the exact location of an emergency call, including building and room location.

Specifically for students in the Department of Electronics:

Additional considerations:

· Ergonomics

· Location of WHMIS, MSDS sheets (especially for soldering)

· Electrical Code

· CPR/First Aid trained individuals

· Mobile phone emergency calls to be followed up to the above umbers

· Food and drink not allowed
