In response to Sallie's and Laurie's ListServ queries, I suggest contacting
the insurance agent for your facility and ask him/her to have the insurance
company’s Loss Control representative (sometimes called Safety Engineer)
contact you. The company should have several pertinent brochures and other
free resources for you. A really good company will develop the policy and
procedures for you.

Subject: Re: Safety Policies[Scanned]
Please share with the list, as my co-workers and I are discussing our safety
and security policies and procedures. While we have discussed this before,
we are now gearing up to move into a new, much larger building. The size of
our staff likely won't be growing, however.
One issue we're concerned about is what to do when the power goes off, as it
does on occasion, and usually at the most inconvenient times. We have
evening and weekend hours, and those seem to be the times the electricity is
more likely to go off. Our practice, when it's later in the day, is to get
people out and then lock up the library.
Thanks.
