Who Are We?
Under the Office of Administrative Services, our department aims to build a risk awareness culture and relationships in collaboration with the University’s stakeholder.
What is University Enterprise Risk Management?
University Risk is the threat or possibility that an action or event will adversely or beneficially affect or impact an institution’s ability to achieve its strategic goals and objectives. Risk Assessment is the process of identifying and analyzing key risk with a view of determining whether and how this risk can be mitigated, controlled or eliminated.
Our Mission Statement
The mission of the Office of Enterprise Risk Assessment shall be to promote a risk awareness culture that identifies risk management when executing and planning key risk actives that will impact the university positively and negatively, with a view of promoting a healthy risk environment through mitigation elimination and control.
UB Sustainability Committee
Fire
Do not attempt to extinguish a fire. Instruct employees and students to exit the building immediately via the nearest stairwell. Pull the fire alarm (located in stairwell and main entrances). Once outside, call 919 and report the exact location of the fire.
Severe Weather
If a severe weather WARNING is issued, instruct employees and students to move to the severe weather shelter area. This is typically the lower levels or corridors of the building where there are no exterior windows.
Bomb Threat
If you receive a bomb threat, a suspicious package or locate a suspicious item, contact UB Police immediately by dialing 302-4327 or 302-4493. Clear employees and students away from the immediate area and lock the area. Write down details about the threat or package as soon as possible.
Active Shooter or Violence
Run– If there is an accessible escape path, attempt to evacuate the premises, leaving your belongings behind. Alert others on the way out and do not attempt to move any wounded. Keep your hands visible on exiting the area and follow the instructions of any campus police, campus security or police officers.
Hide– If evacuation is not possible, lock the door and blockade with heavy items, then find a place to hide (out of view and behind something that will protect you if shots are fired). Turn off your cell phone or any other source of noise. Remain calm and quiet. Dial 919/911, if possible, to alert police of your location. If you cannot speak, leave the line open for dispatcher to listen. This part of the process is called a “Lock Down”.
Fight– As a last resort, and only when your life is in imminent danger, attempt to disrupt and/or incapacitate the active shooter (throwing items, seize or make shift weapons, yell). Commit to your actions and follow through.
Sex & Gender Based Violence, Harassment or Discrimination
Do not try to investigate, but ask three basic questions:
- Are you safe?
- Are you hurt?
- How can I help you?
Refer individual to appropriate resources.
- If safety is a concern, encourage individual to contact campus police, campus security, or police officers.
- If sexual assault has occurred, encourage individual to seek care as soon as possible at a hospital where evidence can be collected. Concerns about sexually transmitted infections and pregnancy will be addressed, as well as a discussion of resources and a plan for follow up care.
- Report the issue promptly to the campus police, campus security, or police officers.
