Building a strong safety culture and being prepared in the event of an emergency is a strong priority for MTL. The MTL community must review emergency preparedness plans and become familiar with procedures before performing any work. In the event of an emergency, should you need assistance, contact the emergency preparedness coordinator.

MIT EHS and the Emergency Management Office maintain the Emergency Response Guide*. The guide is strongly recommended to read/review to associate yourself with campus protocols.
*NOTE these are different than MTL protocols, both shall be understood.
