Tips for working alone during silent hours

If working alone during silent hours is absolutely necessary, the following precautions should be taken: Never let someone follow you into the building. Ask the individual to use his/her own access card or key to enter. In an elevator, stand near the controls and locate the emergency button. Avoid entering alone an elevator occupied by a stranger.

Security Services can be contacted by dialling 3000 on any McGill phone. You can also reach us on any public telephone on campus by dialing 398-3000 at no charge. Emergency telephones are available in every major building near the main entrance and in every elevator.

Establish a phone check procedure with a family member, friend, or a co-worker working elsewhere in the building. If no one is available to you, contact Security Services.

When leaving the building, use the Walksafe (398-2498) service.
