Odors
Toxic fumes can infiltrate into or through a building from
various sources. Improperly stored chemicals, faulty
refrigeration, equipment malfunctions, and engines operated near
outside air intakes, are some of the more common.
If the presence of toxic fumes is suspected, the area or
areas affected should be evacuated. Use a telephone away from
this area and call the security department at (305)
243-6000. Security will notify the appropriate entities
(Physical Plant, Environmental Health & Safety, or the Fire
Department).
Ventilate the contaminated areas:
It may be possible to clear an affected area by opening windows
and using exhaust fans, provided such action is supervised by
Environmental Health and Safety of Emergency personnel. |
