UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA, BERKELEY

POLICY ON THE ISSUANCE OF KEYS AND CARDS

Failure to adhere to the College of Chemistry policy on keys and charge cards, as outlined below, will result in relinquishment of keys:

1. Keys are not to be labeled with the room/building which they unlock. Keys are coded in such a way that should a key be lost, the finder will not know what it will open.

2. Keys or College cards are not to be used by anyone other than the individual to whom they were issued.

3. It is unlawful to duplicate any University key. (Per the Campus "Access Control Policy, November 1, 1991 Revision": "Any person who knowingly makes, duplicates, causes to be duplicated, or uses or attempts to make, duplicate, cause to be duplicated, used, or has in his possession any key to a building or other area owned, operated, or controlled by the State of California...or any state agency... without authorization from the person in charge of such building or area or [his/her] designated representative, and with knowledge of the lack of such authorization is guilty of a misdemeanor." California Penal Code Section 469)

4. Should any key or College card be lost, the loss must be immediately reported to the College Building Manager or her representative in 410 Latimer, 2-5232. Failure to do so may result in a charge for any required rekeying of College facilities. Lost keys require filing a police report with UCPD, 1 Sproul, 2-6760. The case # must be presented for key replacement.

5. Keys and I.D. cards are to be returned to the College prior to leaving the College or terminating the relationship for which the key and/or card was issued.

College Charge Cards:

College of Chemistry charge cards are issued to permit use of College facilities such as copying machines, storerooms, and liquid nitrogen dispensers and/or off-hours Chemistry Library access.

The College cards may be obtained from Room 410 Latimer, Ext. 2-5232. Applications for I.D. cards may be obtained from most administrative assistants or from 410 Latimer. All applications must be authorized (signed) by a research director or staff supervisor in order to receive keys or an I.D. A $5.00 refundable deposit is charged to undergraduates and individuals from outside departments.

EMERGENCY RESPONSE

For any emergency, the Campus Emergency Response Plan must be activated by pulling the nearest fire alarm (in case of fire) or calling the Campus police at 911 from any Campus phone (642-3333 from a cell phone). For more detailed information on emergency response, refer to the College of Chemistry "Emergency Response Guide" located next to all hall phones and emergency phones in the College. Emergency phones are located in most College corridors. The Emergency Response Plan can also be activated by dialing 911 from any pay phone (coins are not required). External pay phones are located immediately outside Latimer Hall on the north side of the building, Plaza (first floor) level.

An emergency alert is signaled by a steady bell, siren, horn, or buzzer. Upon such an emergency alert, follow posted directions and evacuate the building as soon as possible.
