POWER FAILURE

Whenever a St. Edward's University building experiences a power failure,
do the following:

  • Turn off all electrical equipment that is not connected to a surge protector, such as computers and printers, to protect equipment from electrical surges when the power is restored
  • Report a power failure or interruption to Building Maintenance (448-8787) from 7:30 a.m.-4:30 p.m., weekdays. On weekends and holidays and after hours, call the University Police Department (448-8444)
  • Do not use elevators immediately after a power failure because electrical outages are still possible
  • Contact the University Police Department immediately if you know about or see:
    • Persons stuck in elevator
    • Smoke coming from electrical or mechanical rooms

In the event of a prolonged power failure, your supervisor will direct employees in what to do, such as leaving the building or going to an assigned assembly area.
