    Page 13 of 25 Don't overload outlets with multiple outlet cords or plugs. If additional outlets are required, use an IS marked multi-outlet "power strip" with its own built-in circuit breaker. Careless smoking, use of candles and incense, and unattended cooking appliances remain major causes of fatal fires in residential buildings. Use of fire crackers, hot work, and open fire is prohibited in all buildings. Keep walkways, stairwells and exits free from obstructions at all times. Report immediately if you observe/noticed damaged fire equipment and other fire hazards to Campus security and Fire Safety wing. Do not open fire hydrant/hose reel water for unnecessarily use. Do not misuse of Fire Extinguisher. KITCHEN FIRE: - Thousands of fire incidents occur every year in which many residential structures are also involved. Majority of the fire incidents, in residential houses, have actually emanated from the kitchen, while cooking food, which had been left unattended, on the stove. Never leave your cooking unattended. The cooking vessel could overflow and extinguish the burners, causing gas to leak. Never get distracted. If you are called away, turn off the gas. Keep the flame from extending past the pot side -Turn pot handles away from the stove edge. Be especially careful when cooking with oil or fat. Fats and cooking oils will ignite once they have reached a certain temperature. Never use water to put out fat and oil fires. Water can cause a fire to spread rapidly and inflict horrific burns. Ensure good ventilation in your kitchen by keeping the windows open. Never allow a child to cook without adult supervision. Wear tight-fitting sleeves when cooking. Do not place flammable or plastic items near the flame. Close the regulator knob to OFF position when the cylinder is not in use. Do not bring and accumulate cylinders in kitchen (Hostel and Guest House & canteen) concerned authorities please instruct to respective mess and canteen contractor/worker. In Case of a Leakage: Do not panic and calm your mind. Do not turn on or turn off any electrical appliances in the kitchen if you think that there is a leak. Put out all flames, lights, incense sticks etc. Shut down the appliance and turn off the LPG regulator. Immediately put on the Safety Cap on the cylinder after the regulator is switched off. Keep all the windows and doors open to ensure ventilation. But do not switch on electric fans or exhaust fans for this purpose. Get in touch with your dealer at the earliest. Gas Bottle & Cylinder Fire Sound the alarm and call the firefighting services. Evacuate all personnel, except those necessary to deal with the emergency, from the danger area (particularly if in path of any cloud).

Take two seconds to think. You’re going to be scared, but you need to stay calm to get out alive. STEP 2 Feel the wall / door with the back of your hand. If very hot don’t go out! There is a fire behind it. If you CAN’T leave the room: Consider lowering yourself out of the window. You should survive a 1 floor jump onto tar/concrete. Anything higher is questionable. Ideally throw a mattress out first to land on. Don’t launch yourself out of the window, but hang down by your arms before dropping to the ground to minimize your fall. Bend your knees when you land. Do not break the window until you’re about to jump as you can’t stop smoke coming in afterwards. If a window jump is impossible: Fill the bath/basin with water and use dampened bed sheets, towels or clothes wedged in door cracks to stop smoke entering. Wet the walls and doors. No water? Pee on them! Then signal to rescuers from the window using a torch or a white sheet. If you CAN leave the room: Take the room key with you if it’s to hand. You may need it to rush back in. Smoke rises and so will be high, filling down to the floor. Keep low or better still crawl where the oxygen is. Stay close to the walls to avoid panicking guests and to count doors to the fire exit. Do not use lift/elevator - that’s an oven you don’t want to be trapped in! Do not re-enter under any circumstances until told it is safe by the fire brigade. (Better to lose a backpack than your life). The most Important Rule : -Is the exit corridor filled with smoke? DON’T try and cover your mouth and run through it unless you can guarantee a maximum five second clear run to the outside (if you have walked the route when you checked in you will know if you can make it or not). If the smoke gets in your eyes they will shut and not open again. If you get trapped the smoke will then kill you, so don’t try and beat it. Head back to your room If A Fire Starts In Your Room, Office, Etc. Leave the room and close the door behind you to keep smoke and flames out of the hall. Sound the fire alarm by activating the nearest pull station, and leave the building by the closest exit or by raising alarm by shouting fire, fire, fire. Call Campus security and fire Safety wing from a safe location. If You Hear a Fire Alarm Go to the door of your room and feel the door with your hand. If the door or the knob is hot, leave it shut. (See next section: "If the room door is hot...")
    Page 16 of 25 Check the hall. If you can leave safely, take your keys with you, close the door behind you and go to the nearest clear exit. Use an alternate route if your path is blocked at any point. Do not use the elevator. You could be trapped or let out into a fire area. If The Room Door Is Hot, or You Are Forced Back To Your Room by Smoke This is the choice of last resort. Make every effort to leave the building at the first alarm or other evidence of fire. Let someone know you are in the room. If the phone works, call Campus Security and Safety wing. If your window can be opened, hang a bed sheet or similar item out the window to signal the rescue team, but close the window against smoke if necessary. Should I Try To Put Out The Fire? Fight a fire only if it is small and you believe you can put it out without risking your safety. If the fire is small and: an extinguisher is readily available, you are familiar with its operation, you can fight the fire without blocking your exit path The extinguisher is compatible with what's burning (e.g., flammable liquids or live electric equipment, see below) Then attempt to extinguish the fire. SAFETY TIP: The first priority in responding to a fire is preservation of life. No one is obliged to fight a fire. Fire Extinguisher Operation Remove the fire extinguisher from its supporting bracket carefully; extinguishers are surprisingly heavy. The lower handle on the valve will support the extinguisher when carried. Remove the pin from the handle by pulling the ring, breaking the plastic tamper-evident seal. Aim the nozzle at the base of the flames, squeeze the handles together, and sweep the nozzle slowly from side to side, across the width of the flames until the fire is extinguished or the extinguisher is empty. You may repeatedly start and stop the flow of the extinguisher by squeezing and releasing the top handle. If a fire is not successfully controlled with one extinguisher, you should leave immediately. Inform to the Campus security and Safety wing, even if you successfully extinguish the fire. Compatibility of Extinguishers and Fires Dry chemical Powder (DCP) extinguishers are safe and effective against all ordinary types of fires). Pressurized water extinguishers are effective only against ordinary combustibles, such as paper, wood, fabric, trash, etc. They must never be used on flammable liquid/oil fires or fires involving live electrical circuits. Carbon dioxide extinguishers shaped black nozzle, no pressure gauge work only against flammable liquid fires and are safe to use around live electrical circuits. They will not extinguish fires involving ordinary combustibles and must be discharged within about 3 feet of flames to be effective. Helping a Person with Clothing or Hair on Fire "Stop, Drop and Roll”. You must immediately get the person flat on the ground. Do not allow her or him to run.
    Page 17 of 25 Extinguish the flames by rolling the person on the ground. A jacket or blanket may be used to help smother the flames if immediately available. Seconds count. Do not waste time looking for an extinguisher or water source. Douse the person with water as soon thereafter as possible. Do not attempt to remove burned clothing. Call Campus security and fire Safety wing. DISASTER: - Disaster: - “Disaster” means a catastrophe, mishap, calamity or grave occurrence in any area, arising from natural or manmade causes, or by accident or negligence which results in substantial loss of life or human suffering or damage to, and destruction of, property, or damage to, or degradation of, environment, and is of such a nature or magnitude as to be beyond the coping capacity of the community of the affected area; Management of disaster :- It means a continuous and integrated process of planning, organizing, coordinating and implementing measures which are necessary or expedient for— (i) prevention of danger or threat of any disaster; (ii) mitigation or reduction of risk of any disaster or its severity or consequences; (iii) capacity-building; (iv) preparedness to deal with any disaster; (v) prompt response to any threatening disaster situation or disaster; (vi) assessing the severity or magnitude of effects of any disaster; ii) evacuation, rescue and relief; (viii) rehabilitation and reconstruction; There are five major categories of the disasters arising from natural factors i.e. Natural Disaster: - Geophysical: -Earthquake/Mass movement of earth materials, Volcano, Tsunami Hydrological: - Flood • Landslides • Wave Action Meteorological: Cyclone, Storm Surge, Tornado, Convective Storm, Extra tropical Storm, Wind • Cold Wave, Derecho • Extreme Temperature, Fog, Frost, Freeze, Hail, Heat-wave • Lightning, Heavy Rain • Sand-Storm, Dust-Storm • Snow, Ice, Winter Storm, Blizzard Climatological: - Unusual, extreme weather conditions related to long-lived, - • Drought • Extreme hot/cold conditions • Forest/Wildfire Fires Biological: - Exposure to germs and toxic substances- • Epidemics: viral, bacterial, parasitic, fungal, or prion infections • Insect infestations • Animal stampedes Human-induced Disasters : - Chemical (Industrial) Disaster, Nuclear and Radiological Emergency (NRE), Fire Risk, EARTHQUAKE: - Drop, cover and hold on when an earthquake hit In most situations, you will reduce your chance of injury if you DROP where you are, onto your hands and knees. This position protects you from being knocked down and also allows you to stay low and crawl to shelter if nearby. COVER your head and neck with one arm and hand If a sturdy table or desk is nearby, crawl underneath it for shelter If no shelter
    Page 18 of 25 is nearby, crawl next to an interior wall (away from windows) Stay on your knees; bend over to protect vital organs HOLD ON until shaking stops Ensure you do the following if you are indoors during an earthquake: DROP to the ground; take COVER by getting under a sturdy table or other piece of furniture; and HOLD ON until the shaking stops. If there isn’t a table or desk near you, cover your face and head with your arms and crouch in an inside corner of the building. Stay away from glass, windows, outside doors and walls, and anything that could fall, such as lighting fixtures or furniture. Stay in bed if you are there when the earthquake strikes. Hold on and protect your head with a pillow, unless you are under a heavy light fixture that could fall. In that case, move to the nearest safe place. Do not use a doorway except if you know it is a strongly supported, load-bearing doorway and it is close to you. Many inside doorways are lightly constructed and do not offer protection. Stay inside until the shaking stops and it is safe to go outside. Do not exit a building during the shaking. Research has shown that most injuries occur when people inside buildings attempt to move to a different location inside the building or try to leave. DO NOT use the elevators. Be aware that the electricity may go out or the sprinkler systems or fire alarms may turn on. Ensure you do the following if you are outdoors during an earthquake: Stay there. Move away from buildings, streetlights, and utility wires. Once in the open, stay there until the shaking stops. The greatest danger exists directly outside buildings, at exits and alongside exterior walls. Ensure you do the following if you are in a moving vehicle during an earthquake: Stop as quickly as safety permits and stay in the vehicle. Avoid stopping near or under buildings, trees, overpasses, and utility wires. Proceed cautiously once the earthquake has stopped. Avoid roads, bridges, or ramps that might have been damaged by the earthquake. Ensure you do the following if you are trapped under debris during or after an earthquake: Do not light a match. Do not move around or kick up dust. Cover your mouth with a handkerchief or clothing. Tap on a pipe or wall so rescuers can locate you. Use a whistle if one is available. Shout only as a last resort. Shouting can cause you to inhale dangerous amounts of dust. ELECTRICAL SHOCK: - An electrical shock may cause burns, or it may leave no visible mark on the skin. In either case, an electrical current passing through the body can cause internal damage, cardiac arrest or other injury. Under certain circumstances, even a small amount of electricity can be fatal. The danger HOLD ON until shaking stops Under shelter: hold on to it with one hand; be ready to move with your shelter if it shifts No shelter: hold on to your head and neck with both arms and hands.
    Page 19 of 25 from an electrical shock depends on the type of current, how high the voltage is, how the current travelled through the body, the person's overall health and how quickly the person is treated. 1. Separate the Person from Current's Source To turn off power: Unplug an appliance if plug is undamaged or shut off power via circuit breaker, fuse box, or outside switch. If you can't turn off power: Stand on something dry and non-conductive, such as dry newspapers, telephone book, or wooden board. Try to separate the person from current using non-conductive object such as wooden or plastic broom handle, chair, or rubber doormat. If high voltage lines are involved: The local power company must shut them off. Do not try to separate the person from current if you feel a tingling sensation in your legs and lower body. Hop on one foot to a safe place where you can wait for lines to be disconnected. Caution Don't touch the injured person if he or she is still in contact with the electrical current. Call the on-duty electrician of the estate office. Don't get near high-voltage wires until the power is turned off. Take these actions immediately while waiting for medical help: Turn off the source of electricity, if possible. If not, move the source away from you and the person, using a dry, non-conducting object made of cardboard, plastic or wood. Begin CPR if the person shows no signs of circulation, such as breathing, coughing or movement. Try to prevent the injured person from becoming chilled. Apply a bandage. Cover any burned areas with a sterile gauze bandage, if available, or a clean cloth. Don't use a blanket or towel, because loose fibers can stick to the burns. FIRST AID: -- Many deaths and impact of injuries can be prevented with First Aid if causalities are treated immediately. First aid is the initial care given to an injured person. Mostly, this timely care prior to the arrival of the medical help means the difference between life and death.  It must start immediately when the injury or illness occurs and continue until medical help arrives or the casualty recovers. Aims of First Aid 1. To save life 2. To protect the casualty from getting more harm 3. To reduce pain and priorities of casualty treatment. GOLDEN RULES OF FIRST AID 1. Reach the site of accident as early as possible.
    Page 20 of 25 2. Do not waste time asking unnecessary questions 3. Find out the cause of injury. 4. Do first things first quickly, quietly and without fuss or panic. 5. Give artificial respiration if breathing has stopped-every second counts. 6. Stop any bleeding. 7. Guard against or treat for shock by moving the casualty as little as possible and handling him gently. 8. Do not attempt too much-do the minimum that is essential to save life and prevent the condition from worsening. 9. Reassure the casualty and those around and so help to lessen anxiety 10. Do not allow people to crows round as fresh air is essential. 11. Do not remove clothes unnecessarily. 12. Arrange for the removal of the casualty to the care of a doctor or hospital as soon as possible. First Aid tips to execute in case of a road accident The first aid in emergency situations involves techniques that enhance the preparedness and trigger immediate response to health emergencies. Evidence suggests that after a road crash or any other accident if life-saving measures are immediately applied by anyone on the accident site victims stand a greater chance of survival and also a reduction in the adverse consequences of their injuries. The victim needs to be stabilized before the arrival of emergency medical help, and here’s how you can do it: 1. Approach the victims in a calm and composed manner. Discourage other helping citizens from handling the victims in a brashly as this can cause further damage. Shift the patient away from oncoming traffic, broken glass, leaking car fluids or any other hazardous material. 2. Inform the nearest medical Centre or police station. 3. Any victim with breathing difficulty, unconsciousness or damaged airway should be sent to the nearest hospital at the earliest – such victims should be given utmost care & greater priority over other victims. 4. Immobilize the cervical spine by using two wooden blocks on either side of the neck (do not disturb the spine and head by shaking them). Shaking the head & neck while shifting the victim may cause major damage and paralyze the patient completely.  5. Do not try to remove the helmet until the victim reaches the hospital. 6. Bleeding can be stemmed by applying continuous pressure to the open wound with a cloth, or tying the cloth gently around the injury. 7. Inspect the limbs of the victim for any fractures, broken bone or other damage while being careful to not apply any undue pressure or force. Secure the broken limb by tying a small stick to either side of the limb with a cloth. 8. If the victim is in shock or is pale, loosen any tight clothing and wrap a blanket around him. Rest his legs on a raised platform, or even on your knees. 9. Finally, make certain that the victim has a pulse until he reaches the nearest medical facility.  It is the moral responsibility of every citizen to offer help and rescue victims of any accident he or she happens to come across.
    Page 21 of 25 Shifting of Casualty to Hospital: - 1. Make sure that the patient should be carried on firm board of stretcher, so that the spines remain in stable. 2. Ensure while shifting the patients back, neck and airway need to be protected from further injury. 3. If the patient is unconscious, gently place cloth or towel under the neck so that the neck does not sag against ground. 4. During transportation keep a close watch on whether the patient’s airway is clear, whether the patient is breathing and whether you can feel the pulse in the patient. Wounds : - The job of first-aider is to remove or reduce the problems that hamper healing such as dirt, infection, movement, etc. Leave the wound undisturbed. Clean the wound by washing them with running water. If there are splinters, thorns and pieces of glass inside the wound remove them with a pair of tweezers so as to avoid infection. Bleeding Small cuts: Clean the wound of debris Apply an adhesive bandage Consult (or recommend consulting) a healthcare provider Large cuts/bleeding: Call 108 Use a clean cloth or bandage to apply direct pressure to the wound Lie down with legs elevated (or assist the bleeding person into this position) Always wear protective gloves when handling someone else’s blood Profuse Bleeding: - The easiest way to stop bleeding is to apply direct pressure on the wound. This can be done with any clean folded cloth. Lean on the wound with the heel of the hand instead of your fingers. Bleeding from Nose: - Bleeding from nose could also mean a head injury. If the patient is conscious and can sit up, ask him to pinch his nose and breathe through his mouth. If he can lean forward, then that could prevent blood from going to his wind pipe choking him. If the patient is unconscious, he should lie with the face to one side, for the blood to come out easily, so that there is no choking. Bleeding from Ear: - The Bleeding from ears mean either injury to the ear alone or serious head injury. Avoid putting anything in the ears to stop bleeding as this could further damage the eardrum. Get the patients to lie down with the injured ear facing into down. Dislocated Joints/Broken Bone : - A fracture or dislocation can be confirmed if there is obvious deformity, abnormal mobility, if the limb cannot be moved at all and if a grating feeling is there. First aid for all fractures and dislocations must aim to reduce movement, which will give relief from pain. Splinting should be done with caution. Fracture: - In case of a fracture do not apply direct pressure; instead use a splint, combined with as gentle pressure bandage. It is safer not to give the patient anything to eat and drink. This is to protect the patient from vomiting in case he needs anesthesia and surgery, or has a head injury. If the wound on
    Page 22 of 25 the arm or the leg is bleeding profusely, it can be raised. This reduces the blood flow to the wounded area. Burns Burns are one of the most common household injuries, especially among children. The term “burn” means more than the burning sensation associated with this injury. Burns are characterized by severe skin damage that causes the affected skin cells to die. Most people can recover from burns without serious health consequences, depending on the cause and degree of injury. More serious burns require immediate emergency medical care to prevent complications and death. There are three primary types of burns : first-, second-, and third-degree. Each degree is based on the severity of damage to the skin, with first-degree being the most minor and third-degree being the most severe. Damage includes: First –degree burn’: red, no blistered skin Second-degree burn: blisters and some thickening of the skin Third-degree burn : widespread thickness with a white, leathery appearance. There are also fourth-degree burns. This type of burn includes all of the symptoms of a third-degree burn and also extends beyond the skin into tendons and bones. Road Accidents: - Road Accidents have emerged as an important public health issue which needs to be tackled by a multi-disciplinary approach. The number of fatal and disabling road accident happening is increasing day by day and is a real public health challenge. The road accidents are happening most often due to the reckless and speedy driving of the vehicles, not obeying or following traffic rules, drunk and driving. Accident victims & Management: - 1. The importance of the “Golden Hour” in giving adequate treatment to the accident victim in saving the injured should be highlighted to both the health personals and the community. 2. Provision of medical care/first aid care facilities on highways and busy roads. 3. Provision of ambulances and trained health personals in shifting and transporting the injured person to nearby hospitals for treatment. 4. Awareness creation among all sections of the society to treat accident victims with sympathy and without fear so that the morbidity and mortality can be reduced. Road Accidents & First Aid: - Many deaths and impact of injuries can be prevented with first aid if causalities are treated immediately. The basic aims of first aid are 1. To save life, 2. To protect the casualty from getting more harm, 3. To reduce pain and priorities of casualty treatment. Immediate requirements in a RTA situation are as follows. Critical 4 min One of the most common causes of a road accident death is due to loss of oxygen supply. This is mostly caused by a blocked airway. Normally it takes less than 4 min for a blocked airway to cause death.
    Page 23 of 25 The “golden hour” The first hour after the trauma is called the “golden hour.”. If proper first aid is given, road accident victims have a greater chance of survival and a reduction in the severity of their injuries. To sum up, the road traffic injury prevention can be achieved by 1. Avoiding over speeding and following speed limits 2. Avoiding drunken driving 3. Use of helmets by two-wheeler drivers 4. Use of seat belts and child restraints in cars 5. Improving visibility, appropriate headlights and road lightings 6. Obeying traffic rules. ROAD SAFETY The security wing always emphasis on the road safety of institute community as well as students, to ensure it the security wing has been displaying road safety slogans at main entrance IN/OUT gate of the institute as well as the security wing deploying a traffic security guard in the most accident prone in the institute. The dedicated traffic security guard performing his duty by putting on his traffic white cap and traffic reflector jacket and guiding & instructing to the community, students, vendors and visitors about safe drive, slow drive, use helmet, keep left, do not over speed, do not over drive, stop, look and active. For better road safety, the security wing has already been instructed to all the security personnel to ensure road safety of their respective duty place and duty area. In view of the students, staff and visitors’ life safety, the following personnel safety measures should be adopted by each & every motor rider in the campus. The measures are as follows: - a). Speed limit of any powered vehicle within the campus is 20 km/hour. b). Persons below the age of 18 years is not permitted to drive powered vehicles. c). Always wears Helmet, while you are driving. d). Always Keep the left. e) Use horn in turning. f). Do not over speed your vehicles g). Tipple raiding is not permitted in the campus. h). Do not drive the vehicles without proper license and papers. i). Do not drive the vehicles in alcoholism condition. f). Do not use your Mobile Phones while driving. What to do in the case of: Theft In progress: Intimate to the security staff as soon as possible. Tell the nearby security person about what is happening Provide a description of the person(s) committing the crime Tell the security staff the direction of travel if the person starts to leave If already completed: Report the incident to the security office and lodge FIR in the Police station.
    Page 24 of 25 Gather as much information as possible about the stolen items Cancel credit cards and checks if they are missing. Most theft in the campus can be prevented if desirable items are properly secured. Take these steps to reduce the likelihood of theft: Do not leave valuables (laptop computers, purses, and cell phones, etc.) in unsecured offices or classrooms, even for a few minutes If you leave valuables in your car, lock them in the trunk Keep a record of credit card numbers and contact information so that you can cancel accounts quickly in the event of theft Keep a record of the make, model, and serial numbers of all electronic equipment and keep the list somewhere safe When going out, do not leave windows open, even just a few inches Use quality locks on bicycles that resist cutting from bolt cutters or wire cutters Follow departmental safety and security procedures Report suspicious activity to security immediately If burglarized, do not touch/handle anything in the area until after police have come and gone, so you don’t destroy possible evidence What to do if you noticed a: Suspicious Person in the campus If you see a suspicious person on campus: Call or inform to the security office Provide the dispatcher with as much information as possible, including what the person is wearing, height, build, hair-color, eye-color, jewelry, vehicle description, license plate number, etc. If possible, take a picture with a cell phone or other camera Notify supervisors so they can take any action necessary to improve security in the college environment Bomb Threat If a threat is made by phone: Pay close attention to what the caller is saying Look for caller ID information on the phone Gather as much information as possible (using the guide provided below) Notify others nearby and call 0771-4247129,100,0771-4287100 Look for any items that appear to be out of place and report them to responding law enforcement or security Follow departmental procedures to guide decisions on what to do next If a threat is made in writing: Avoid touching paper Call 112 to report it to police If you receive a bomb threat, gather as much information as possible from the caller by doing the following: If a recorder is available, record the conversation Note the time and caller ID information Note which line the call is coming in on Pay close attention to the exact words used Keep the caller on the line as long as possible and ask him/her questions if possible, including:
    Page 25 of 25 Where is the bomb? When is the bomb going to explode? What does the bomb look like? What kind of bomb is it? What will cause it to explode? Who placed the bomb? Why? Where are you calling from? What is your name? Address? Note the following characteristics of the call: Does the voice sound male or female? What is the caller’s demeanour? (Calm, angry, rushed, crying, sincere, etc.) Does the caller’s voice have any special characteristics? (Accent, stutter, slur, nasal sound, high pitch, low pitch, squeaky, etc.) Does the caller speak quickly, rushed, slowly, deliberately, loudly, or softly? Is the voice familiar? Are there any background noises? Objectives of conducting Mock Drills: To take measures when the fire breaks out. 1. To take the precautionary measures while the fire is being extinguished. 2. To escape from the burning building. 3. To help the fire victims.
