Background The intent of this document is to ensure research activity at PERFORM follow a common and fair set of standards and requirements for all users of the sleep laboratories relative to access and safe use of this specific area. The sleep laboratory consists of specialized equipment such as polysomnography. Polysomnography (PSG) is another name for "Sleep Study". It is the study of the continuous and simultaneous recording of multiple physiologic variables (e.g. electroencephalogram, electro-oculogram, electromyogram, electrocardiogram, respiratory movements, and leg movements) during sleep. The Sleep Labs at PERFORM consist of furnished bedrooms and a general purpose lab space for research staff to use for monitoring and setting up the research participants. Each bedroom is equipped with closed-circuit IR video camera (and IR LED) and a conduit for connecting monitoring equipment between the bedrooms. The nature of the activites conducted in this area warrants a need for procedures to ensure safety of all users Purpose This SOP provides a set of minimum standards and practices for the safe access and use of the sleep laboratory at the PERFORM Centre of Concordia University. It outlines the minimum training requirements and general rules to be adhered to in the sleep laboratories. It outlines the procedure to access the laboratories, minimum training requirements and general rules to be adhered to in the lab Scope This SOP applies to all persons working in the sleep laboratories at the PERFORM Centre including but not limited to University faculty, staff, students, research participants and authorized visitors Responsibility Responsible access and operation of the sleep laboratory by different users is outlined as follows: All Users All users of the sleep laboratory are responsible for: Following all applicable regulations, safety rules and practices as outlined in this SOP as well as applicable Concordia policies Reporting any incidents, injuries, hazards, or damage to equipment or property to the Coordinator of the Sleep Laboratory.

8 Fire Alarm and Evacuation Recognize alarm type 1 stage* vs 2 stage When you hear an Alarm: 1) Stay Calm 2) Direct occupants of room to nearest emergency exits* (see diagrams for specific areas) 3) Once outside proceed to gathering point at fence bordering Sherbrooke Street. During bad weather proceed to CJ Atrium building across Sherbrooke Street (see map). 4) Await further instructions from security/perform Staff before re-entering building. Note that PERFORM staff must re-enter before all other individuals. PERFORM CENTRE RESPONDING TO AN EMERGENCY Power Outage The PERFORM Centre is equipped with a generator that will provide essential power in the event of a power outage. There is a 30 second delay before it begins operation. During the first 30 seconds please stay calm, when the lights come on and generator is in operation CALL SECURITY (3717) and indicate there is a power outage. Security will contact the PERFORM on call staff member. Await further directions from the PERFORM on call staff member who will contact PERFORM front desk staff. NOTE: Fitness equipment/rear elevator will not work on generator. Only lights will operate to provide a safe evacuation. Minor Medical Emergency (non-life threatening) 1) Instruct victim to stop activity 2) Remain with victim until symptoms subside. a) If symptoms worsen, use basic first aid*. Do not give anything to drink or eat b) If symptoms do not subside, activate 911 or as instructed by trained medical first responder. * At this time, if appropriate, have another person check with reception (ext or 4023) if a trained medical first responder is in the building.
