BOMB THREAT GUIDELINES
Bomb Threat Procedure
Directions for Managers and Employees
When faced with a bomb threat, the primary concern must always be the safety of personnel. A comprehensive threat response policy is required to ensure the maximum margin of safety of all persons. This section has been prepared with this most essential criterion in mind.
In the event of a bomb threat, if evacuation is initiated, the exit routes and assembly areas should be searched prior to vacating the premises. Personnel cannot safely re-occupy the building and resume normal activities until a search has been conducted. These processes require a procedure with logical, chronological steps.
Bomb Threat Reception
Bomb threats are often transmitted by phone. The person receiving the call should be prepared to obtain precise information, including:
▪ The time the call was received and on which telephone number or extension
▪ The exact words of the person making the threat
▪ Indicate whether it was a male or female voice and an approximate age
▪ Note any accent or speech impediment or slurring
