BMC to Hold Workplace Violence Drill Sept. 16
Please be advised that on Thursday, Sept. 16, Boston Medical Center will be conducting a workplace violence (Code Green) DRILL during the evening hours. The event will take place in and around the Moakley Building, 830 Harrison Ave.
The drill will test the hospital’s response to workplace violence. In addition to BMC staff, it will involve multiple agencies, including Boston Police, Boston University Police, BUMC Public Safety, Massachusetts State Police and Boston EMS. There also will be many emergency vehicles and apparatus on campus during this time. Please do not be alarmed; their participation is vital to the success of the drill.
You may receive messages during this drill. The messages will begin and end with the phrase “THIS IS A DRILL.” Any other messages that do not include the language “THIS IS A DRILL” are real and the appropriate actions should be taken.
Pedestrian and vehicle traffic in and around campus may be limited during the event. We appreciate your patience.
If you have any questions or concerns, please contact Steve Morash, BU Emergency Response Planning, 617-414-2188 or samorash@bu.edu.
