In its ongoing effort to keep our campus safe, the Delaware Fire Department will inspect OWU facilities over winter break to identify fire code violations.<\/span><\/p>\n

To prepare for our annual inspection, please take a minute to identify and correct common violations in spaces for which you are responsible.<\/span><\/p>\n

The following is a list of common violations in faculty, staff, and student spaces:<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Overloaded outlets or power strips.<\/li>\n
  2. Daisy-chained power strips with one strip plugged into another strip.<\/li>\n
  3. Improper use of extension cords in student sleeping rooms. (Please see Page 68 of the\u00a0Student Handbook<\/a>\u00a0for guidance.)<\/li>\n
  4. Unauthorized use of space heaters. Installations must be pre-approved by Buildings & Grounds to ensure building circuitry can handle the load.<\/li>\n
  5. Propped fire doors.<\/li>\n
  6. Blocked entrances and exits \u2013 with furniture, rubbish, etc.<\/li>\n
  7. Blocked access to electrical and mechanical rooms. Also, it is a violation to store materials in these rooms as the stored items restrict access to electrical panels and mechanical equipment.<\/li>\n
  8. Improper storage of items within 2 feet of ceilings.<\/li>\n
  9. Excessive clutter on office floors, desks, and shelves. These violations are usually paper products.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    If you have questions, please contact Public Safety at ext. 2222 or the B&G office at ext. 3400.<\/span><\/p>\n

    I appreciate your cooperation as we prepare for these annual inspections. Have a great break!<\/span><\/p>\n
