Maintaining visitor safety requires constant vigilance, clear protocols, and
calm response capabilities. All visitor services staff must internalize safety
procedures to respond effectively under pressure.

**Daily Safety Checks:**

*Opening Procedures:* Verify all emergency exits unlocked and accessible. Check
that exit signage illuminated. Confirm first aid kits stocked and accessible.
Test emergency communication systems.

*Gallery Walkthrough:* Scan for tripping hazards, spill risks, or obstructed
pathways. Report maintenance needs immediately through work order system.

*Closing Procedures:* Ensure no visitors remain in building. Verify all
non-essential systems powered down. Confirm alarm systems armed.

**Emergency Response Protocols:**

*Fire Alarm:* Immediately cease operations. Direct visitors toward nearest
exit using calm, clear instructions. Do not use elevators. Assembly point is
northeast parking lot. Account for visitors if possible without delaying evacuation.

*Medical Emergency:* Contact security immediately via radio. Clear area to provide
space for response. Do not provide medical treatment beyond basic first aid
unless certified. Document incident thoroughly after resolution.

*Security Threat:* Follow lockdown protocol if announced. Shelter visitors in
secure interior spaces away from windows. Maintain silence. Await all-clear
from security command.

*Severe Weather:* Monitor weather alerts. Direct visitors away from windows
during severe storms. Basement level serves as tornado shelter if needed.

**Artifact Protection Integration:**

Visitor safety protocols must balance human safety with collection protection.
During emergencies, human life always takes priority over artifacts. However,
staff should close gallery doors behind evacuating groups when possible to
limit exposure without delaying exit.

**Communication Systems:**

All visitor services staff carry two-way radios tuned to security channel.
Emergency codes use plain language for clarity. Panic buttons located at
admission desk and security office.

**Documentation Requirements:**

All incidents, no matter how minor, require written report within 24 hours.
Reports include time, location, individuals involved, actions taken, and
follow-up needs. Photograph any physical damage or hazards for documentation.
