46 It is the responsibility of each employee to know emergency evacuation and shelter procedures. Faculty are required to review emergency evacuation, shelter-in-place, and lockdown procedures with their students. Evacuation routes are posted throughout College facilities. Emergency floor plans are reviewed annually and are posted in each building. These plans provide maps of the College showing building entrances, fire alarms, automatic electronic defibrillator (AED) stations, and severe weather shelter areas. The College has a Continuity of Operations Plan to address essential functions of the College following an emergency. Weapons Policy Per the Weapons Policy and Procedures, the possession of weapons in all College owned, leased, and controlled buildings, vehicles, and at any special events sponsored by the College is prohibited. Violations of the policy are considered severe misconduct under the College Employee Misconduct Policy and Procedures, the Code of Student Conduct, and the Code of Conduct for Visitors, Guests, and Volunteers. See the College Weapons Policy and Procedures. Workplace Violence The College will not tolerate workplace violence or threats of violence by or against its employees. Workplace violence includes any conduct by an employee, student, or member of the public occurring on College premises that involves physical acts of violence, oral, written, or electronic threats, or gestures or acts that are threatening or intended to convey actual or potential injury. It also includes acts and threats that are later claimed to have been made in jest. Every employee must take any act or threat of workplace violence seriously. If there is imminent danger, call 911 immediately. Employees have a duty to immediately report to the College Public Safety Office and their supervisors any misconduct related to workplace violence. The College will not tolerate retaliation against any employee for making a workplace violence report. When appropriate, the College will refer acts or threats of workplace violence to the police or other authorities for possible criminal prosecution. Unattended Children on Campus Children under the age of 16 shall not be left unattended in any College facility or on College premises. This includes parking lots and the immediate surrounding areas. Employees are expected to assist in enforcing this rule by contacting the College Public Safety Office. This does not apply to children under the age of 16 who are enrolled in a program or activity of the College.
