As part of our commitment to the safety of our community, Humber College and the University of Guelph-Humber conduct lock down drills annually. The goal of these drills is to not only test our procedures but to ensure community members know and understand what to do in the unlikely event of an active threat on any of our campuses.

Lock down drills take place every year during the third week of September. The dates for 2019 are:

Procedures for a lock down are:

1. Listen for instructions via the public address system
2. If you can safely get out of the building, do so immediately
3. If you cannot leave the building safely, take cover in a nearby room. Do not take cover in a washroom
4. Where possible, gather others from open areas
5. Close and lock the door. If the door cannot be locked, barricade the door with chairs, tables, or other furniture or equipment in the room
6. Cover the windows
7. Place signs on exterior windows to identify the location of injured persons
8. Lie on the floor or crouch behind desks. BE QUIET
9. Silence cell phones or devices that generate noise
10. DO NOT answer the door
11. Call 911 if you have specific information about the threat
12. DO NOT evacuate until advised by Toronto Police Service or the Department of Public Safety that it is safe to do so

Just prior to the drill starting, an announcement will be made using the Public Address system to let community members know the drill is about to start. Please note that during the drill, the actual lockdown message will be played – not a test message. This is to familiarize the community with the actual message they would hear during a real event. During the drill, community members should follow the directions listed above. Once the drill is complete, an announcement will be made via the Public Address system advising that the drill is over and normal activities can resume.
