FIRE AND LIFE SAFETY TRAINING The Office of Environmental, Health & Safety (EHS) in coordination with Residence Life provides annual fire and life safety training to Residence Directors (RDs) and Community Assistants (CAs). Talking points are provided to the CAs for a consistent message at their required floor meetings. Floor meetings on fire and life safety are held by CAs with building residents at the start of the fall semester. The training includes: • The nature of fire • Fire alarm system • Sprinkler system • Building fire safety components • Fire extinguishers • Evacuation procedures • Life safety/fire prevention FIRE SAFETY IMPROVEMENTS The Office of Environmental, Health & Safety (EHS) continually works with fire protection service provider Johnson Control-SimplexGrinnell on improving the University’s fire alarm system. The University receives feedback and recommendations from Johnson Control and other vendors on an annual basis, as part of their annual inspections. Additionally, the University reviews related policies on a routine basis and makes improvements accordingly. FIRE LOG A fire log of all reported fires is maintained in the Office of Environmental, Health & Safety (EHS) located in the Facilities building. The fire log records the building in which the fire occurred, the general location within the building, as well as the date, time and nature of the fire. The Office of Environmental, Health & Safety (EHS) prepares this report in compliance with section 48S(i) of the Higher Education Opportunity Act, otherwise known as the Campus Fire Safety Right-to-Know Act.
