Building Safety Assistants (BSA)Please use the drop down menu below to select Select Building Safety Assistants: The BSA program at Cal State East Bay has a history that goes back more than 25 years. BSAs are volunteer staff and faculty who are ready to step forward to assist fellow employees and students during an emergency. As little as two hours of your time is all that is needed to become a BSA. Training
BSAs have the opportunity to receive training in a wide range of activities from a one hour basic orientation on emergency response to the 20 hour Campus Emergency Response Team (CERT) training. Annually, many BSAs choose to be certified in First Aid and/or CPR as "first responders." Other areas of specialized training include: use of fire extinguishers; building evacuation; evacuation chair rescues, radio communications, crowd control; terrorist/bomb threats and managing a hazard spill incident. Primary Focus
The primary focus of BSAs is to be trained in how to react in emergency situations. In most cases, this means learning to react to a circumstance without also becoming victim, and helping keep others from becoming victims.After initially responding to an emergency situation, and making sure that University Police and/or Emergency Services has been contacted, BSAs assist University Police in assisting the safe evacuation of buildings, directing evacuees to assembly areas or simple crowd control. BSAs are needed in every building, in every wing, for all hours when the building is occupied. There is always a need for more BSAs. Look at the roster of BSAs in your building, and get to know them. If your area does not have a BSA, consider joining this outstanding group of volunteers. For more information regarding BSAs, contact Donna Placzek, Director, Environmental Health and Safety, donna.placzek@csueastbay.edu, x52395. |
