Message from the Dean
To: The College of Medicine and Health Sciences Community
In accordance with the commitments of Sultan Qaboos University to protect the health and
welfare of its employees, students and visitors, and to provide a healthy environment, the
College of Medicine and Health Sciences (CoM&HS) takes it as one of its prime responsibilities
to promote emergency awareness within its community and work places. The CoM&HS has set
plans for providing safety programs and guidance on actions needed to effectively handle health
and safety accidents in order to minimize resulting hazards and to prevent their reoccurrence.
Preplanned and practiced evacuation is one of the means for saving lives and properties,
therefore this plan is carefully written to direct individuals to evacuate rooms and college
premises safely and in an organized manner. In addition, it states out the responsibilities of the
College Risk Management Committee members, Safety Officers, Fire Wardens, and the expected
reaction to emergency from staff, students and visitors. Accordingly, I strongly urge all affiliates
and visitors of College of Medicine and Health Sciences to carefully read, familiarize
themselves, and comply with CoM&HS Emergency Evacuation Plan policies and procedures,
and to comply on routine basis with the safety rules in the course of their work performance. By
doing so, we will substantially minimize hazardous risks, thereby, safeguarding health,
environment and the assets of the CoM&HS. Finally, I would like to thank the Risk Management
Committee members for updating and revisiting this document.

1. Introduction
Emergencies and disasters are unpredictable and may occur at any moment; they usually
occur without warning. When an emergency occurs, the safety of all college employees,
students and visitors is endangered. Prompt rescue of personnel will depend on the level of
preparedness.
This college emergency plan is designed to provide fundamental support to the University
Emergency Plan. The plan outlines how the college will protect staff, students and visitors in
the college in coordination with the Risk Management Office (RMO), SQUH (A&E), Civil
Defense, Police and emergency response procedures.
It is the responsibility of each college staff member, for their safety and the safety of others,
to study and understand the emergency plan so that they can follow it during emergency
operations.
2. Purpose and Scope
This emergency evacuation plan provides the necessary information and guidance to all
employees, students and visitors for their safe evacuation in the case of a fire and/or other
emergencies.
Each Department in the college should provide their supplementary evacuation plan with
the spcific relevant to their situation where necessary and applicable.
The plan includes:
Procedures for the evacuation and relocation of staff, students and visitors in the college.
Information on reporting emergencies, the duties of staff during emergencies, and
example evacuation floor plans identifying exit routes and fire safety items.
Staff training requirements.
Sultan Qaboos University
College of Medicine & Health Science Emergency Evacuation Plan

4. Preparedness
The first step in boosting the college preparedness is to assemble appropriate human and
physical resources for combating hazardous circumstances.
4.1 Departmental Preparedness
Each department should:
Nominate a “Departmental Emergency Response Team” that should include a fire
warden, a safety officer, a superintendent and, if necessary, additional staff from the
department. The team should be divided into:
o “Emergency Response Crew” that should be trained to help disseminate
emergency instructions, assist in performing evacuations effectively, and, if
necessary, provide first aid. All members must be trained to provide first aid.
o “Emergency Recovery Crew” that is trained to document the post-emergency
results and to organize a fast resumption of the department functions.
Arrange for relevant staff education and training
Ensure that they have department emergency supplies (first aid kits, laboratory spill
kits, fire extinguishers … etc.)
Establish “telephone trees” to initiate rapid emergency notifications.
4.2 Building Information

6. Protocols and Procedures
This section describes what one should do in the case of an emergency. The presented steps
are for emergency evacuation in the case of a fire, but also apply to any other emergency
occurring in any department. When calling the Civil Defense (fire emergency) you should
specify the exact nature of emergency if possible (e.g. Chemical and biological spill,
Physical attacks, gas, smoke or radiation).
Sultan Qaboos University
College of Medicine & Health Science Emergency Evacuation Plan
11
6.1 Emergency Evacuation
If an emergency occurs (e.g. fire), evacuation is MANDATORY. Additional procedures
are observed for specific situations based on the nature of the emergency situation.
6.1.1 If you Discover a Fire:
Only a fire extinguisher or a fire blanket can be used if the fire is very small and if you
have been trained to handle it safely. If you can’t put out the fire, follow the steps below:
Step 1: Activate the fire alarm (Applied for other emergency)
Step 2: Inform Civil Defense on telephone (9999 – 2414 4444)
It is critical to provide the (Fire Emergency) Center with the following information:
Nature of emergency
Building name (College of Medicine and Health Sciences)
Location of the fire in the building (e.g. Department of Surgery on the
second floor)
Steps 3 & 4: See instructions below
6.1.2 If you Hear the Alarm:
Step 3: Evacuate the building whenever the fire alarm sounds.
Stop working immediately.
Switch off any electrical systems, open flames and equipment you are working
with.
Leave the room immediately through the nearest exit even if someone else tells
you it is a false alarm.
Do not go back to collect any property.
Sultan Qaboos University
College of Medicine & Health Science Emergency Evacuation Plan
12
If you are the last one to leave the room, you must close the doors and windows
behind you (DO NOT LOCK).
Do not use elevators, use the stairs, and keep to your right.
Go to the assembly point as defined below and shown on the evacuation map.
Do not re-enter until authorized by emergency personnel.
Note: If an occupant is unable to evacuate from the 1st or 2
nd floor, he/she must proceed to the
closest and safest area then inform the Civil Defense (call 4444) of his/her location and that
he/she is unable to leave the facility.
Step 4: Assemble at safe location and perform headcounts.
All occupants must assemble at the designated area away from the building.
HOD’s or superintendents in charge must assemble with their staff, students and
visitors.
Those who evacuated on the wrong side should report to their respective HOD or
superintendent in charge.
HOD’s or Fire Warden must proceed by taking attendance of department
employees, students and visitors to ensure that everyone has escaped the
hazardous scene. If it is known or even suspected that someone is still in the
building, notify the emergency response personnel (either Civil Defense or fire
brigade) and provide the location of the missing person(s) within the facility.
6.1.3 If Caught in Smoke:
Drop to hands and knees and crawl towards the nearest exit.
Stay low as smoke will rise to the ceiling level.
Hold your breath as much as possible; breathe through your nose and use a filter
such as a shirt or towel.
6.1.4 If Trapped in a Room:
Close as many doors as possible between you and the fire.
Sultan Qaboos University
College of Medicine & Health Science Emergency Evacuation Plan
13
Place a wet cloth material around or under the door to help prevent smoke from
entering the room.
If the room has an outside window, be prepared to signal someone outside for
help.
6.1.5 If Clothing on Fire: [Stop, Drop, and Roll]
Roll the endangered person around on floor to smother flame.
Cover him/her with a fire blanket, if available.
Only drench with water if safety shower is immediately available.
Obtain medical attention. Call 4777 (A&E).
Report incident to Department Safety Officer who will notify the College Safety
Officer (CSO).
6.2 Assembly Areas
The primary and secondary assembly areas for individuals to gather in an emergency
evacuation are shown on the map. You are advised to make sure that you know where
they are located before you settle down to work in the CoM&HS.
Sultan Qaboos University
College of Medicine & Health Science Emergency Evacuation Plan
14
6.3 Emergency Operational Areas
In the event of an emergency, the areas immediately adjacent to the building will be
utilized as operational areas for emergency services (Police and Civil Defense)
equipment and personnel.
These areas must be kept clear at all times once individuals have evacuated from the
building. Operational areas provided for police and fire services can become dangerous to
building occupants during emergency situations.
Therefore, once building occupants have evacuated to safe areas they are not to re-enter
the operational areas until an all-clear message has been communicated to them by Civil
Defense.
6.4 Special Considerations
In addition to the outlined emergency responsibilities of the department member, the
following precautions must also be considered and understood:
6.4.1 Personal limitations
Adult occupants are held responsible for their safety by following the common-sense
precautions as well as the above-mentioned procedures. Occupants with physical
limitations are expected to be attended to by the nearest capable person(s) and hence such
attention to incapable and young occupants should be considered by everybody.
6.4.2 Visitors
Each department is responsible for the safety of its visitors. Visitors are expected to
comply with the risk management and safety rules of the college. Departments should
provide directions and assistance to visitors for evacuating the facility in an emergency
case.
Sultan Qaboos University
College of Medicine & Health Science Emergency Evacuation Plan
15
If the visitors are attending classes in the training rooms, instructors should always
identify the emergency exits prior to starting instructions as well as assist in an actual
emergency evacuation.
7. Evacuation Procedures for People with Special Needs
The following guidelines will assist you in planning for the evacuation of people with Special
Needs (SN).
In all emergencies, after evacuation plan has been started
People with SN should evacuate themselves from the building if possible.
Always ask someone with a SN how you can help before attempting any rescue technique
or giving assistance. Ask how he or she can best be assisted or moved, and whether there
are any special considerations or items related to his safety and well-being that need to be
taken with the person.
If it is safe to do so, assist persons with SN as indicated by that person, or direct them to
the nearest stairwell or a safe area within the building, whichever is safer. Notify
emergency personnel of the person’s location.
If an individual with a SN cannot evacuate him/herself from the building, he/she should
go to the nearest stairwell or a safe area within the building, if it is safe to do so, and tell
someone who is evacuating from the building that he/she is trapped there.
Attempt a rescue evacuation ONLY if you have had rescue training or the person is in
immediate danger and cannot wait for professional assistance.
DO NOT use elevators unless authorized to do so by police or fire personnel.
Note: There is no specific designated area for this purpose. Rescuers will determine where to
take somebody who is stranded.
Sultan Qaboos University
College of Medicine & Health Science Emergency Evacuation Plan
16
Hoe to respond to an emergency in case of mobility impairment
It may be necessary to help clear the exit route of debris (if safe to do so) so that the
person with SN can move out or to a safer area within the building.
If people with mobility impairments cannot exit, they should be moved to a stairwell or
assistance area, whichever is safer.
Notify Civil Defense or fire personnel immediately about any people remaining in the
building and their location.
Civil Defense or fire personnel will decide whether people are safe where they are and
will evacuate them as necessary. Only the Civil Defense may determine whether it is safe
to override the rule against using elevators.
8. Assignment of Responsibilities
Duties and responsibilities should be determined and established by HOD’s. Each department
should assign tasks to members related to their duties and responsibilities. HOD’s are
responsible for maintaining proficiency and certification of certain staff members in CPR and
first aid.
8.1 Responsibilities of the Fire Warden
Prior to an emergency (During Normal Business) fire wardens have an important role
to play by observing the fire safety guidelines provided in training and should be
continually on the lookout situations such as:
Possible malfunctioning fire extinguishers, fire alarm points and smoke detectors
Fire exits that are blocked
Missing keys for exits
Missing fire evacuation maps
If any other potential hazards are identified, they should be reported without delay to the
College Safety Officer who should then report the matter to the CRMC.
Sultan Qaboos University
College of Medicine & Health Science Emergency Evacuation Plan
17
On hearing the fire alarm, fire wardens should:
Immediately leave the rooms they are in safely according to fire evacuation
procedures.
After allowing time for the main body of people to evacuate, and only if safe to do so,
fire wardens should then check the rooms in the immediate area working through the
rooms systematically and closing doors as each area is cleared.
Assist individuals with special needs to a designated rescue area, or with evacuation
procedures.
When all rooms have been checked clear, fire warden must leave the building via the
nearest available exit.
At assembly areas, fire wardens should assist HODs/supervisors with a head count.
Communicate whether all staff have exited the building to the College Safety Officer
who should then communicate to civil defense officers.
8.2 Responsibilities of the Department Safety Officer (DSO)
Prior to an emergency, during normal business the DSO should:
Put together an easy to carry container of important items to take with them during an
evacuation. Items should include:
o Copy of emergency evacuation plan
o Important keys
o First aid kit
On hearing the fire alarm DSO’s should:
Shut down equipment/operation (e.g. research, testing, special equipment, laboratory
equipment, items generating heat or open flames, etc.).
Shutdown building facilities, e.g. utilities (electricity, gas and water (If necessary),
special building equipment, exhaust fans and elevators etc.).
Sultan Qaboos University
College of Medicine & Health Science Emergency Evacuation Plan
18
Fire wardens and safety officers from each department will ensure safe evacuation of the
facility, directing occupants to the designated assembly point, and preventing re-entry to the
facility (prevention of re-entry apply to all except emergency personnel to ensure the
protection of life and property).
9. Training and Fire Drills
9.1 Training
Training is an integral part of the safety program for the CoM&HS and it is the responsibility
of each department to ensure all their employees are trained on the Building Emergency Plan.
HODs are responsible for providing emergency evacuation information to all employees and
should be certain that each employee reads and understands the plan. It is the responsibility
of all staff, students, visitors, etc. to become familiar with the Emergency Evacuation Plan
and to know the evacuation routes and assembly areas, and to attend training.
Initial fire safety and evacuation training courses, specific to the Emergency Evacuation Plan
will be provided to all building occupants within 60 days of plan approval. All department
members will receive evacuation plan refresher training specific to fire safety, annually
thereafter. A schedule for these courses will be organized by the CRMC in conjunction with
the University Risk Management Office. All new employees must attend initial fire safety
training within 90 days of their appointment.
9.2 Fire Drills
There are two types of fire drills that should take place on a regular basis:
9.2.1 Fire Drills affecting all Building Occupants (employees, students, visitors,
etc.)
These must be conducted once per semester to test the emergency procedure components and
to determine if changes are needed to improve the emergency evacuation plan. Such drills
Sultan Qaboos University
College of Medicine & Health Science Emergency Evacuation Plan
19
will involve all employees following evacuation procedures and physically moving to the
designated safe areas. In addition, fire drills will be conducted anytime there is a change in
the building layout that involves significant plan modification.
9.2.2 Department Fire Drills
These should occur:
Annually without actually setting off the fire alarm
When there are any changes in building floor plans
At the time of each fire drill department phone tree (list of staff) procedures will be
implemented, tested and evaluated for effectiveness. The department safety officer and fire
warden should submit a report to the College Safety Officer who should submit it to the
CRMC.
9.3 Fire Extinguishers
This is the fire triangle. Actually, it's a tetrahedron, because there are four elements that must be
present for a fire to exist. There must be oxygen to sustain combustion, heat to raise the material
to its ignition temperature, fuel to support the combustion and a chemical reaction between the
other three elements.
Remove any one of the four elements to extinguish the fire.
The concept of Fire Protection is based upon keeping these four elements separate.
Sultan Qaboos University
College of Medicine & Health Science Emergency Evacuation Plan
20
9.4. Types of Fire Extinguishers
9.4. 1 Water and Foam
Water and Foam fire extinguishers extinguish the fire by taking away the heat element of the fire
triangle. Foam agents also separate the oxygen element from the other elements.
Water extinguishers are for Class A fires only - they should not be used on Class B or C fires.
The discharge stream could spread the flammable liquid in a Class B fire or could create a shock
hazard on a Class C fire.

9.4. 2 Carbon Dioxide
Carbon Dioxide fire extinguishers extinguish fire by taking away the oxygen element of the fire
triangle and also be removing the heat with a very cold discharge.
Carbon dioxide can be used on Class B & C fires. They are usually ineffective on Class A fires.
Sultan Qaboos University
College of Medicine & Health Science Emergency Evacuation Plan
22
9.4. 3 Dry Chemical
Dry Chemical fire extinguishers extinguish the fire primarily by interrupting the chemical
reaction of the fire triangle.
Today's most widely used type of fire extinguisher is the multipurpose dry chemical that is
effective on Class A, B, and C fires. This agent also works by creating a barrier between the
oxygen element and the fuel element on Class A fires.
Ordinary dry chemical is for Class B & C fires only. It is important to use the correct
extinguisher for the type of fuel! Using the incorrect agent can allow the fire to re-ignite after
apparently being extinguished successfully.
9.4. 4 Wet Chemical
Wet Chemical is a new agent that extinguishes the fire by removing the heat of the fire triangle
and prevents re-ignition by creating a barrier between the oxygen and fuel elements.
Wet chemical of Class K extinguishers were developed for modern, high efficiency deep fat
fryers in commercial cooking operations. Some may also be used on Class A fires in commercial
kitchens.

23
9.4. 5 Clean Agent
Halogenated or Clean Agent extinguishers include the halon agents as well as the newer and
less ozone depleting halocarbon agents. They extinguish the fire by interrupting the chemical
reaction of the fire triangle.
Clean agent extinguishers are primarily for Class B & C fires. Some larger clean agent
extinguishers can be used on Class A, B, and C fires.
Sultan Qaboos University
College of Medicine & Health Science Emergency Evacuation Plan
24
9.4. 6 Dry Powder
Dry Powder extinguishers are similar to dry chemical except that they extinguish the fire by
separating the fuel from the oxygen element or by removing the heat element of the fire triangle.
However, dry powder extinguishers are for Class D or combustible metal fires, only. They are
ineffective on all other classes of fires.
9.4. 7 Water Mist
Water Mist extinguishers are a recent development that extinguish the fire by taking away the
heat element of the fire triangle. They are an alternative to the clean agent extinguishers where
contamination is a concern.
Water mist extinguishers are primarily for Class A fires, although they are safe for use on Class
C fires as well.
Sultan Qaboos University
College of Medicine & Health Science Emergency Evacuation Plan
25
9.4. 8 Cartridge Operated Dry Chemical
Cartridge Operated Dry Chemical fire extinguishers extinguish the fire primarily by
interrupting the chemical reaction of the fire triangle.
Like the stored pressure dry chemical extinguishers, the multipurpose dry chemical is effective
on Class A, B, and C fires. This agent also works by creating a barrier between the oxygen
element and the fuel element on Class A fires. Ordinary dry chemical is for Class B & C fires
only. It is important to use the correct extinguisher for the type of fuel! Using the incorrect agent
can allow the fire to re-ignite after apparently being extinguished successfully.

9.5 Fire Extinguisher Use
It is important to know the locations and the types of extinguishers in your workplace prior to
actually using one.
Fire extinguishers can be heavy, so it's a good idea to practice picking up and holding an
extinguisher to get an idea of the weight and feel.
Take time to read the operating instructions and warnings found on the fire extinguisher label.
Not all fire extinguishers look alike.
Practice releasing the discharge hose or horn and aiming it at the base of an imagined fire. Do
not pull the pin or squeeze the lever. This will break the extinguisher seal and cause it to lose
pressure.
When it is time to use the extinguisher on a fire, just remember PASS!
Pull the pin.
Aim the nozzle or hose at the base of the fire from the recommended safe distance.
Squeeze the operating lever to discharge the fire extinguishing agent. Starting at the
recommended distance.
Sweep the nozzle or hose from side to side until the fire is out. Move forward or around the fire
area as the fire diminishes. Watch the area in case of re-ignition.

9.6 First Aid
Based on the concept of saving lives and minimizing the consequences of injuries or
emergencies in workplace, a minimum of two people should be designated as paramedics in a
building. They should be well trained in First Aid and must know how to deal quickly with
critical situations until the ambulance arrives to take the patient to the nearest health care center.
The paramedics should also evaluate the risks surrounding the work location and identify unsafe
sites and advise on how to manage work according to injury type. They should be aware of
hazardous substances in the workplace in order to deal safely with all potential injuries.
Task and Responsibilities of the First Aid Provider in Case of injury
1- Provide accurate and fast diagnosis of injuries to determine the cause.
2- Conduct an initial patient examination and to pay attention to the injury based on observed
fact.
3- Provide immediate treatment based on the injury type or illness.
4- Call the ambulance or transfer the patient to the hospital as necessary.
5- Record injuries and inform the relevant authorities.

9.7 Safety in Elevators
You SHOULD:
• Watch your step when entering or exiting an elevator.
• Stand aside and allow exiting passengers to get off before entering.
• Push and hold the DOOR OPEN button if doors need to be held open for someone approaching
to get on; don't hold open using your arms or feet.
• Use the stairs if there is a fire in the building or other situation that could lead to a disruption in
electrical service. Elevator shafts are often not sealed and act as a chimney when fire is present.
• Check the posted capacity of elevators and not get onto an elevator that is already at capacity.
Wait for the next elevator if the car is full or if there is not enough room to stand comfortably in
the elevator cabin.
• Discourage unsafe behavior by others in and around elevators.
• Report elevator vandalism promptly to the College Safety Officer or College Administration.
• Report any elevator‐related accidents promptly to the College Safety Officer.
Sultan Qaboos University
College of Medicine & Health Science Emergency Evacuation Plan
29
• Push the alarm button and as many floor buttons as possible if you suspect trouble or are
attacked so that the elevator will stop quickly at the next floor. Don't get into an elevator with
someone who makes you feel uneasy.
You Should NEVER:
• Interfere with closing doors. Wait for the next elevator.
• Attempt to pry open elevator doors.
• Attempt to enter the hoistway outside the elevator cabin.
• Jump up and down.
• Cram into an elevator that is exceeding its capacity; actively discourage anyone else from
cramming into an elevator.
• Block the doors open with any kind of equipment or box, or with your foot or arm. In newer
elevators, holding the doors open will cause the elevator to “time out” and shut down as a safety
feature. In that situation, a mechanic must reset the controller to re‐start the elevator. Use the
DOOR OPEN button on the floor selector panel to hold doors open longer than the normal
timing sequence allows.
If the Elevator Is Not Working and You Are Inside:
• When the elevator stops, first try the DOOR OPEN button. If the doors won't open, ring the
ALARM button and wait for assistance. Use the emergency phone if one is available.
• Remain calm and communicate with those outside. Cell phones may work inside an elevator. If
you have one and it is receiving a signal, call the maintenance department (2414 3333). If you do
not have a cell phone, ask those outside the elevator to make the call.
• Sit down and stay in the elevator, away from the doors, in case rescue personnel open them.
NEVER ATTEMPT TO CRAWL, JUMP OR CLIMB OUT OF AN
ELEVATOR BETWEEN FLOORS
• Never attempt to get off a stalled elevator without emergency personnel present.
Sultan Qaboos University
College of Medicine & Health Science Emergency Evacuation Plan
30
• Do not attempt to exit an elevator that is not properly aligned with a floor unless there are
emergency personnel present to assist in evacuation.
Staffs or students who tamper with or abuse any of residence hall elevator equipment or controls
or who create an unsafe environment for themselves or others in or around elevators are in
violation of community living standards.
10. High Risk Areas
Departments should identify high risks areas and then determine if there are ways to
minimize the risks. Two areas that should be considered are:
Risk to college’s business/assets e.g. personnel records, student records etc. To minimize
the risks, all important files and department backups should be stored in fire proof
lockers.
Risks that department’s work may cause hazardous conditions or exposure to occupants
(e.g. flammable substances, toxic materials, radioactive substances and/or other items
requiring special shutdown procedures to prevent unsafe conditions/exposures). To
minimize these risks:
o All chemicals should be stored properly according to their nature of hazard (e.g.
flammable, poisonous, volatile, etc.).
o Departments should keep a record of all risk areas and submit a copy to the College
Safety Officer (e.g. Chemical stores, laboratories, volatile, carcinogenic and
radioactive substances etc. in laboratories), who should submit to the CRMC.
11. Recovery Information
Documenting Emergency Outcomes
Once the safety and status of staff has been ensured, and emergency conditions have
subsided, each department should assemble their Emergency Recovery crew to begin the
restoration of the department’s programs.
Sultan Qaboos University
College of Medicine & Health Science Emergency Evacuation Plan
31
It will be important to begin a timely and comprehensive assessment of the effects of the
emergency on departments both physically and operationally. Departments should plan ahead
for how they will collect this important impact information.
Upper management will need ongoing status reports after the emergency to estimate
when department programs can be fully operational and to identify special facility,
equipment, and personnel issues or resources that will speed normal work resumption.
The college administration may need detailed facilities data on the affected area to
estimate temporary space reallocation needs and strategies.
Documentation of damaged facilities, lost equipment and resources should be performed.
All documentation on the impact of the emergency should be coordinated with upper
management. A suggested format is provided in section 15 for summarizing this crucial
information.
12. Certification of Emergency Plan Awareness
All employees in each department must read the emergency plan and review it annually or
whenever there are changes in floor plans. Each individual must print, sign, and date the
declaration form; a copy of which can be found in Section 15.5. In addition, on an annual
basis, all staff must maintain proficiency in the use of portable fire extinguishers. Each
department should keep its own training records and send a copy to the College Safety
Office, who should submit to the CRMC.
13. Emergency Staff Contact Information
This section lists the names, departments and contact numbers for designated emergency
staff team members. You should not hesitate to contact them if you have any questions about
this document or general college safety issues.
