PREVENTION
The Fire Prevention program insures
that campus buildings and fire protection equipment are maintained
in compliance with all appropriate state fire codes and safety
policies of the University. The Fire Prevention staff inspects
buildings, tests and recharges fire extinguishers, investigates
fires and fire alarms, checks fire alarm systems, tests laboratory
safety showers, and insures that all fire hydrants, fire pumps,
standpipes, and sprinkler systems are in good working order.
Construction plans are reviewed for compliance with fire codes and
ordinances.
Fire drills are performed periodically in all campus buildings.
An educational program on fire safety, evacuation, and fire
reporting is offered to all students and staff to demonstrate safe
and correct procedures to avoid a fire and, if necessary, to escape
in a fire situation.
Education and training programs are available to any on-campus
group on request. Programs include relevant audio visual
presentations and hands-on fire extinguisher training.
EH&S also serves as advisor to the Fire and First Aid Unit, a
student group which performs fire prevention and first aid services
at various University functions. |
