Emergency Procedures for OSU Employees

As employees, you are the first line of defense, the eyes and ears watching out for the safety of Ohio State.  All of us must take responsibility for our own safety and assist those around us.

See something, say something! Report the unusual or suspicious.

The university will make any necessary announcements regarding campus emergencies at the OSU Public website or Buckeye Alert. Take the time to review the emergency procedures listed below. Also, OSU Public Safety has a printable Emergency Procedures poster that can be used in buildings to remind individuals what to do in an emergency.
