Emergencies

All faculty should know the following emergency information and are encouraged to relay this information to their students at the start of the semester:

• Identify the location of fire alarm pull stations.
• Review both location and content of evacuation maps including an outside meeting area for your department or class.  Instruct students to identify at least two exits from their location in the building.
• Review emergency procedures in case of fire, medical emergency, hazardous materials release, and earthquake. Invite any students with special needs to contact you about specific requirements in case of an emergency and make appropriate arrangements.
• Identify the location of the nearest phone to use in case of an emergency.

Personal Safety

CSUF is a safe place to work.  However, we should always be aware of suspicious behavior and avoid situations which set us up as "victims."  Notify University police (911) as soon as you notice persons who display threatening behavior or unwanted advances toward you or others.  Use the University Police escort service to your car, or use a "buddy system" at night or on weekends when few people are on campus.

Student Safety

Awareness of general safety practices, such as emergency evacuation and fire and earthquake safety are becoming an integrated part of a student's learning experience.  Specific supplemental safety instruction for students in the sciences, visual arts, theatre, engineering and other disciplines that use hazardous materials or equipment are given via a website at http://riso.fullerton.edu/studentsafety.htm.  Faculty are required to present safety information to their students.  See the website for details.  (Refer to the section in this Handbook entitled "Instruction and Curriculum" for information concerning student safety on academic field trips, student safety abroad, and safety as it relates to internships and experienced-based learning.)

Violence In The Workplace

Acts of violence and threats of violence severely impact the free exchange of ideas intrinsic to higher education and the the well-being of the campus community members.  The University has established a policy of zero tolerance for violence against members of the university community.  Acts of violence and threats of violence towards persons or property will not be tolerated.  This policy applies to all faculty, staff, students and visitors to the university.

It is crucial that you report any violence--verbal or physical--to your Chair, Administrator, Vice President, University Police or Human Resources.  Don't ignore it.  If the person actually commits the violence, the consequences can be devastating.  You should not fear repercussions from reporting any incident.  Information concerning warning signs, prevention of workplace violence, and guidelines for handling a potentially violent confrontation are contained in Directive Number Eight, University Policy Regarding Violence in the Workplace.

Parking

Parking for faculty is provided on campus for a fee that is established by the Trustees of the CSU and subject to the collective bargaining process. Parking lot decals may be purchased for fixed academic terms, or for permanent faculty/staff, a permanent decal may be obtained through a payroll deduction. Faculty may also elect to use one of the campus coin lots in lieu of purchasing a decal. Parking areas limited to faculty and staff are identified as "Faculty/Staff Only" lots. Student, visitor, guest, and daily permits are not valid in these areas.

Part-time faculty on the campus one or two days a week may purchase a decal at a reduced rate that allows them to park only on the days for which the permit is purchased. Daily permits are also available during the day at permit machines located in Lots A or G or for evening instructors after 4:00 p.m. at Lots B, D, E West or I. Permits purchased in one daily permit lot are valid in any other lot designated for daily permit parking on that same day only.

The pamphlet, "CSUF Traffic and Parking Regulations," is published by Parking and Transportation Services and contains a complete description of campus rules and regulations. Parking and California Vehicle Code regulations are enforced year round.  The Parking and Transportation Services office is located in T-14, extension 3082.

University keys are the property of the State of California and may be recalled at any time and must be returned to Public Safety at the time of separation from employment. Unauthorized possession or unauthorized duplication of State keys is prohibited (California Penal Code section 469). Lost or stolen keys must be reported to Public Safety immediately.
