Definitions
Safety refers to procedures and other matters taken to keep workers from
being injured or getting sick. Security overlaps safety somewhat because it can
also mean protecting workers from injury, but it is broader and refers to other
threats as well, such as sexual harassment and theft. Business owners have an
interest in the health of their employees, not only because they provide health
insurance and workmen's compensation insurance for them, but because a
healthy environment increases productivity.
Safety Measures
Businesses can take measures to ensure that their workplace is safe. They
can look for the least hazardous equipment or material. They can separate
workers from specific known hazards, via protective clothing and equipment or
architectural features. They can provide adequate ventilation to protect against
fumes. They can enact rules and procedures that promote safe practices.

Government Agencies
Health
An effective health policy that protects and informs employees and managers
within your company is one of training and education. By helping your staff to
better understand how to prevent disease in the workplace, you can reduce the
fear that may set in when a traditional health risk, such as flu season, comes
around. Education can also help you and your staff better understand the reality
of communicable diseases, how they affect those that do not have them and what
the threats they pose.
Safety
Security
Making sure your facility is secure is a major part in reducing workplace stress.
Most businesses today recommends using a badge system that allows only authorized
personnel into the facility at any time. When an employee is laid off or terminated, be sure
to get their badge to prevent that employee from re-entering the building to perpetrate a
violent act. Install surveillance cameras so that people entering and leaving the building
can be seen. You should also put surveillance cameras in your parking lot to give your
employees an added sense of security.

When calling for assistance, the following information should be given to the
dispatcher:
If possible, stay on the phone until the dispatcher has obtained all the pertinent
information.
The Procedures for All Campus Personnel to Follow when a Fire Alarm
Sounds
1. Call 911 immediately and report the alarm. Please note that if an alarm is
sounding, but it is unknown if there is a fire, the report to the dispatcher
should only indicate that there is an alarm, not a fire.
2. All alarms should be considered real. No one is to remain in the building
unless they are prevented from exiting by fire and/or smoke.
3. Always check the doors for heat and the halls for smoke before exiting.
4. Evacuate the building by using the nearest exit.
5. Do not use the elevators.
Personnel should know how to evacuate any building they occupy. This
means that everyone should know where the nearest exit is located, how to get to
that exit in the dark, and where alternative exits are located (just in case the
primary exit is blocked).
Periodic drills should be conducted to ensure that the evacuation routes are
known and feasible. At this time all residence halls, health services, and
laboratory schools hold building-wide drills. It is anticipated that fire drills will be
expanded to all buildings over the next several years.
If there are any problems identifying the sound of fire alarms, or the routes
to take during evacuation, contact the Bureau of Fire Protection. Personnel in this
office will be glad to assist your department.
Fire Investigations
The Bureau of Fire Protection has the responsibility of inspecting all campus
buildings to see if they conform to fire and life safety codes. If any violations of the
codes are found, the BFP notifies the responsible department for correction.
The BFP, along with the Philippine National Police, is responsible for
investigating all fires to determine the cause of the fire. They also determine what
can be done to prevent such occurrences.
TTI personnel can assist this office in these areas in the following ways:
1. Contact the BFP if there is any fire safety or life safety concerns in your
building.
2. Contact the BFP if there has been any kind of fire in your area that has not
been investigated by the PNP OR BFP.
3. Be conscious of the things that can create a possible fire safety or life safety
situation, such as the improper use of extension cords, smoking material,
improper storage of flammable material, storage of material in hallways, etc.
4. Notify the PNP Department or the BFP if you notice anyone creating a fire or
life safety hazard (i.e., setting fires, tampering with the fire alarm system,
etc.).
5. Contact the BFP if there are any questions or needs for training in these
areas.
All of the major buildings on campus are equipped with some type of fire
extinguishers and alarm systems. These items are installed in the buildings to aid
in the protection of life and property. Personnel who damage or misuse these items
not only cause disruptions for others, but also endanger the lives and health of all
other occupants.
Fire Extinguishers
There are several things that campus personnel should know about fire
extinguishers. First, fire extinguishers are designed to fight only very small fires.
Most average size extinguishers have enough water, dry chemical, or gas for about
15 seconds of fire fighting. The rating and the type of extinguisher determine the
type of fire it can extinguish.
It is recommended that campus personnel not fight fires. Most personnel are
not trained or properly equipped to put out fires. If personnel insist on putting
out fires, then the following prerequisites should be met before any fire
fighting occurs:
Medical aid may be needed should accidents or serious illness occur. The
person aiding the injured or ill individual, in the event of such an occurrence,
should follow the following procedures.
The caller should stay on the phone with the operator until he or she is sure no
more information is needed.
