Fire and Life Safety

Fire and Life safety programs are essential in protecting the campus community from injury, service disruption and property damage that can result from fires and other related incidents. 

Fire and Life Safety Inspections

Periodically, the Office of the State Fire Marshal will conduct inspections of campus buildings. A report will be given to campus representatives for corrective actions that may need to occur. Though many of these issues will be addressed by Facilities Services, some items may fall to the departments to correct. An email notification may be sent to department heads requesting the corrective action and a response, so that the report can be cleared. Please see Common Fire and Life Safety Corrections for more information.
