Monmouth University utilizes natural gas in various buildings on campus. Natural gas is an odorless fossil fuel that will burn and can explode under certain concentrations and proper air mixtures, and if a source of ignition is introduced. Natural gas is odorized by the chemical mercaptan, which smells like garlic, rotten eggs, or a skunk. Sources of ignition can be in numerous forms, such as a light switch, gas-burning appliances, telephone, electric motor, cigarette lighter, automobile engine, or anything that can produce a spark or flame.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Employees shall follow the University Fire Evacuation Policy on page 69 to evacuate students and employees if there is a report of a suspected natural gas leak. Do not activate the nearest fire alarm or use a phone inside of the building.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
MUPD must be notified immediately of such situations at 732-571-4444 once outside.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
When a gas leak is reported outside of the building, MUPD will make a determination if any of the buildings in the surrounding area should be evacuated. The decision will be based on wind and distance away from any known source of a gas leak.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
MUPD shall notify the local fire department and New Jersey Natural Gas (NJNG). Aside from emergency responders, no one shall be allowed to enter the building that has been evacuated until NJNG \u201cclears\u201d the building for reentry.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
