Safety Tips

Progress: 0%

Here are some examples:

Never let someone you do not know into your residence hall or your room
Never prop open exterior doors, room doors, or bathroom doors
Always know where your room keycard or M card is. If you lose your key card, let a program staff member know as soon as possible
Keep your room door locked — even when you are in the room, go across the hall to visit friends or take a shower. It only takes a few seconds for a thief to enter a room and steal property

Do not disable any safety feature (automatic door closures, fire doors, etc.)
Walk in groups when traveling outside, especially at night
Travel in well-lit areas with heavy traffic
Keep your cell phone with you at all times
If you are the victim of a crime in your hall or anywhere on campus, observe a crime being committed or think one is being committed, contact DPSS immediately or dial 9-1-1.

Directory of all program-authorized adults’ cell phone numbers and email addresses
Street location and room number for all buildings and facilities where activities will occur (e.g., “CCRB is located at 401 Washtenaw Avenue, Ann Arbor”)
Telephone numbers for emergency contacts (e.g., campus police, OSEH, building/facility manager, dean’s/director’s Office, Child Protection Team)
- Encourage staff to program these numbers into their cell phones and to keep their phones charged during program hours
Consult with local law enforcement or facility security if you are conducting off-campus programming for children

Inspect the area for hazards
Report any hazards to the Program Administrator , supervisor or facility manager
Development emergency procedures; ensure everyone is educated
