Campus Mass Notification
 

  • On April 16, 2007 a Virginia Tech student went on a rampage that killed 32 fellow students. Then on February 14, 2008, a Northern Illinois University student gunned down five other students before killing himself. students, their parents, and the general public want to know about the emergency notification procedures that campuses have in place. These events and others that have unfolded over the last couple of years have caused a great swing in the Educational marketplace. New guides, standards and codes are being developed. Many were already in the making but recent events have forced the industry to step up the pace. With that I would like to report on what these new papers are and where they are coming from. Many companies will or have started approaching the universities with their bag of products and calling it “Mass Notification”. I offer to provide a training session on exactly what Mass Notification is, what NFPA, NEMA and other organizations are doing.

Campus Fire Safety Right-to-Know act is now Federal Law - How will this effect your campus?

  • How will the Campus Fire Safety Right-To-Know Act affect your school? The Campus Fire Safety Right-to-Know Act requires colleges to report fire safety information to the U.S. Department of Education. Many of the core ideals of the Right-to-Know Act were successfully included in the recently enacted Higher Education Opportunity Act. As a result, academic institutions will be required to make annual fire safety reports available to the public. (002) - Presented by the Center for Campus Fire Safety (CCFS)

Changing the Culture: From Celebratory Rioting to Good fan behavior

  • Riotous threatening fan behavior at major sporting events is a major topic of concern. Using enforcement tactics along with a major push on Good Sportsmanship helped transform the football game day culture at The Ohio State University. After the 2002 Ohio State University vs. University of Michigan football game the Ohio State University experienced the worse celebratory rioting in its history. In December of 2002 the Ohio State President, and City of Columbus Mayor charged a group of faculty, staff, students, alumni, community members, city officials, and university administrators with investigating the causes and the most effective strategies for preventing the threatening riotous behavior. - (032) Presented by The Ohio State University

Fire Safety Training and Education for College Students

  • Welcome NIFAST where our community comes to interact and share best fire safety training and education for college students. Fire safety does not come naturally for most, and as we have learned through our many years of in-depth study. Expert knowledge is the key to being fully prepared. Why should fire safety only be considered one month out of every year, when hundreds of lives are lost everyday due to accidental fires? Fires that could have easily been prevented with education.  Repetitive and targeted remediation ensure that the teachings will be retained.  We will offer ways to provide a solid education to your students. (033) - Presented by NiFAST

NFPA 72 - National Fire Alarm Code - an overview of Inspection, Testing, and Maintenance

  • NFPA 72, National Fire Alarm Code, outlines acceptable test methods to be used when testing the fire alarm system, equipment associated with the fire alarm system, and accessory equipment. Your fire alarm system will only operate properly if it is maintained noting that impairments/problems will not be obvious without testing. NFPA 72 is referenced by of most fire codes throughout the country including the International Fire Code. (008) - Presented by Hughes Associates

The Three "E's" of Fire Prevention

  • Identifying the appropriate avenue, or avenues, to the fire or life safety problem through identifying the risk, audience, behavior, and contributing factors. Once the proper course of action is determined we would discuss the different approaches and engineering fixes that are currently available. Some of these would include a brief discussion on developing a workable fire and life safety plan, some simple instructional techniques for behavioral change, and examples of engineering fixes that are effective, affordable, and currently available on the market. We would also leave a brief period for some specific problem solving. This class would be appropriate for Greek or Dormitory application. (007) - Presented by Indiana University

Fire Sprinkler Education

  • In Champaign, we have successfully conquered 2 of the 3 E’s of fire safety (Engineering and Enforcement) via a Retrofit Sprinkler Ordinance.  In the past 5 years, we have had complete systems installed in over 70 “Certified Housing units” such as fraternities, sororities and privately owned off-campus housing units.  Once done, it quickly became apparent that the average 19 or 20 year old does not know how to live with a sprinkler head as their roommate.  Our solution – also known as the 3rd E of fire safety – is an interactive educational game called the Sprinkler Bowl.  During this presentation, we will share our ordinance, tell of some of the experiences we’ve encountered when students and sprinklers mix and show one solution to help teach how to live in a sprinklered building. (029) - Presented by Champaign, Illinois, Fire Department

NFPA 25 - Water Based Fire Protection - an overview of Inspection, Testing, and Maintenance

  • NFPA 25, Inspection, Testing, and Maintenance of Water-Based Fire Protection Systems. As its name specifies, the standard consolidates all the requirements for sprinkler systems and related systems such as underground piping, fire pumps, storage tanks, water spray systems, and foam water sprinkler systems. The main reason for the standard was because inadequate maintenance was one of the contributing factors for system failures. A large percentage of system failures were because of something very simple, such as the inadvertent closing of a valve for whatever reason-maybe maintenance, maybe intentionally, or maybe mistakenly. This standard pays attention to that particular problem. It requires weekly and sometimes monthly inspections of valves to make sure that they open when they're supposed to be. NFPA 25 is referenced by of most fire codes throughout the country including the International Fire Code. (010) - Presented by Chubb Group of Insurance Companies

Public Access AED's

  • The purchasing and placement of the "Automatic External Deliberators" units is probably the easiest part of establishing an effective program for public access to these potentially lifesaving pieces of equipment. We will discuss how to develop an AED program. How much more is needed the just hanging them on the wall, placing them behind a counter, or at the life guard stand at the pool. There are concern for vandalism and theft, the concern about misuse of a medical device, the concern about maintaining the devices ready for use, and of course concern for the type and amount of training that is needed for students and staff. (011)  - Presented by Bowling Green State University

NFPA 720: Standard for the Installation of Carbon Monoxide(CO) Detection and Warning Equipment

  • This standard is primarily concerned with life safety, not with protection of property. This standard covers the selection, design, application, installation, location, performance, inspection, testing, and maintenance of carbon monoxide detection and warning equipment in buildings and structures. This standard contains requirements for the selection, installation, operation, and maintenance of equipment that detects concentrations of carbon monoxide that could pose a life safety risk to most occupants in buildings and structures.

NFPA 10 - Portable Fire Extinguishers - an overview of Inspection, Testing, and Maintenance

  • What you might want to know about maintaining and using portable fire extinguishers. NFPA 10, Portable Fire Extinguishers, provides minimum requirements for the selection, placement, Inspection, and servicing of portable fire extinguishers. The provisions of this standard apply to the selection, installation, inspection, maintenance, and testing of portable extinguishing equipment. 1.1.1 Portable fire extinguishers are intended as a first line of defense to cope with fires of limited size. 1.1.2 The selection and installation of extinguishers is independent of whether the building is equipped with automatic sprinklers, standpipe and hose, or other fixed protection equipment. NFPA 10 is referenced by of most fire codes throughout the country including the International Fire Code. (012) - Presented by Chubb Group of Insurance Companies

Auburn University - On & Off Campus Greek (Fraternity/Sorority) Housing Mandates

  • Auburn University and the City of Auburn entered into a contract agreement to provide a Fraternity Fire Safety Program to address critical fire safety issues in fraternity houses and faculties housing student organizations both on and off campus. The program was created by a committee that included: the University's Department of Risk Management and Safety, Office of Student Affairs, Office of Greek Life, University Facilities Division, and the City of Auburn. There are four components of the program (as part of this workshop we will cover these 4 items in depth). (001) - Presented by Auburn University

1. Fire Safety Education and Self-Inspections.
2. City fire inspector to perform fire code compliance inspection of all fraternities.
3.  All renovations and/or new construction of fraternities are required to submit plans and specifications for review and approval.
4.  Required Fire Protection Systems and Equipment. All fraternities were to retro-fit all fraternity houses by year 2008 and contract a certified fire protection equipment contractor to inspect all systems in accordance with the applicable codes.

Off Campus Housing Fire Safety. Can we do more to protect students?

  • Local authorities and Academic Administrators need to rethink their roll and responsibility for off Campus fire safety. Officials need to  think beyond passive fire protection and look toward influencing the installation of fire sprinklers in new student housing as well as the retrofit of NFPA 13D compliant fire sprinkler systems in the existing student housing inventory.  This presentation will discuss why it is time we look beyond our dependence on smoke alarms (passive fire protection) only to a more effective smoke alarm fire / sprinkler system combination approach to protecting our students from fire in off campus housing. The life safety benefits of such an approach, ideas as to how to influence the future of residential fire protection as well as the components of the systems will be presented. (017) - Presented by National Fire Sprinkler Association

Another Approach to Lab Safety Training

  • Wittenberg University (in Springfield, OH) is a small, residential liberal arts college. We have a very strong emphasis on laboratory safety.  Most “pre-lab” sessions include a discussion some safety topic, usually one that is relevant to the experiment being performed.  Pre-lab readings and on-line quizzes are assigned that force students to come to the pre-lab session with some nominal understanding of a particular safety topic.  Then, the pre-lab discussion is often a discussion of various lab scenarios that involve safety issues. When discussing fire safety and fire extinguishers, we invite representatives from the Springfield Fire Department to visit the pre-lab session to talk about fire safety on campus.  Each student gets hands-on experience using a carbon dioxide extinguisher on a small alcohol fire.  When discussing “emergency response” we also broaden the discussion to “what to do” with regard to a variety of emergencies ranging from lab fires to tornados to “active shooters.”   The presentation for the conference would be an overview of our program, including the discussion of safety issues across the chemistry curriculum.

Fire Protection/Life Safety Code Compliance Approaches for Campus Laboratory Facilities

  • The volumes of hazardous materials needed in a campus laboratory facility vary, depending on the research and teaching requirements.  For example, some facilities place a greater emphasis on chemistry activities, and consequently store and use larger quantities of materials.  From a fire protection and life safety standpoint, the model codes contain several design approaches for the storage and use of hazardous materials in such facilities.  This presentation provides details of three code compliance approaches for fire protection and separation, based on the major applicable requirements contained in the 2006 International Building Code (IBC), 2006 International Fire Code (IFC) and NFPA 45, Standard for Fire Protection in Laboratories Using Chemicals (2004 Edition).  The concepts and associated fire protection and life safety features contained in control areas, NFPA 45 laboratory units, and High Hazard occupancies will be discussed and applied to the college and university laboratory setting. (023) - Presented by RJA Rolf Jensen & Associates

UI Fire Factor Academy  

  • The twin Cities of Champaign and Urbana, along with the University of Illinois, have offered 10 Fire Factor Academies.  The day-long fire academies are for college student leaders from various housing units.  Each participating RA (Residential Advisor), fraternity or sorority officer is then challenged to go back and help us spread the fire safety message in their university home.  To aid them with presentations, we worked closely with a senior level Graphic Arts Class who created a comprehensive safety campaign entitled SUBTRACT STUPIDITY – add smart to the equation.  During this presentation we will show the campaign and its corresponding web site.  We might just entice you to tap into the creative minds of your own students to come up with new safety messages.

Clean Agent Fire Extinguishing Systems - Design, Installation, and Testing

  • The Montreal Protocol of 1987 created international restrictions on the production of certain Halon fire extinguishing agents because of their effects on the ozone layer.  Clean agents were developed and introduced in response to the ban on Halon.  Clean agents are very effective fire extinguishing agents and are environmentally more acceptable. They leave no residue, are electrically non-conductive, and are not cold enough to create thermal stress on the objects being protected.  Clean agents are used to protect assets as diverse as computer servers, precious art, archeological artifacts and many other objects that can be damaged or destroyed when they come in contact with fire sprinkler water.  The University of Arizona currently has 14 Halon and 10 clean agent systems.  NFPA 2001 is the Standard on Clean Agent Fire Extinguishing Systems.  This presentation will address the design; installation and testing of clean agent systems as required by NFPA 2001.   The presentation will also highlight a few lessons learned. (027) - Presented by University of Arizona

Assemblies and Atria - Life Safety Design Challenges on Campuses

  • Assembly spaces on a college campus like lecture halls, performing arts centers, recreation centers, or stadiums are often high-profile campus buildings used to attract students, parents, educators, and donors. These high occupancy spaces require special attention to occupant’s fire and life safety during design and construction. In this presentation, we will discuss several issues commonly encountered during the design and construction of these spaces of which campus project managers and fire safety officers should be aware. Topics include the use of the mezzanine concept and the separated mixed use approach to reduce the number of stories and construction type of the building, challenges with designing an adequate number of exits with long travel distances, and fire detection by use of traditional devices and new technology available in the marketplace. The presentation will also cover common challenges with atria on college campuses. Specifically, a brief overview of smoke control system concepts, tradeoffs associated with fire detection methods, and the importance of third party commissioning of a smoke control system will also be presented.

From FireWise to Fruition:  DePaul University’s Roadmap to a Successful Campus Fire Safety Program

  • After Campus FireWise Training in March 2009 we began the quest to work together with residents, student employees, and administrators to make important changes.  Our Action Plan helped us to amend the procedure for the evacuation of residents, student staff, and staff professionals from residence halls that are in the state of alarm.  Our new procedure changed the way we train student staff members as they are now directed to find the quickest and safest way out of the building compared with outdated procedures that required student staff to perform room checks and mark stairwell doors with red tape during evacuation to signify that a floor was checked and cleared.

2009 Sorority Rush on the Campus of Purdue University - Greek Rituals and Programs

  • Overnight, a sorority house in an off-campus housing area within our jurisdiction was transferred from a residential occupancy into a gathering and dining facility for a rush event. During this formal gathering, a small fire occurred that could have been devastating if it occurred 15 minutes earlier. The presentation contains actual photographs taken on-scene by the fire department. Although the fire was contained and relatively small, the presentation shows the extent that the students will go to conduct their ritual ceremonies which no regard to fire safety. Over 250 candles were found to be in use during the fire and all the emergency exits were blocked with furniture. This presentation was critical in the Dean of Students office decisions to mandate fire prevention training for Greek Housing and pre-rush inspections for the houses.

Great Escape on Campus

  • Stay low because heat and smoke rise, stop, drop and roll, keep fresh batteries in the smoke detector, and feel doors for heat. These adages of fire safety are easy to take for granted. That is until you are in a residence hall corridor filled with smoke, relying on the walls for balance and direction. You extend an arm and realize your hand has disappeared. Disorientation sets in as a thick haze swirls in the hallway and a blaring smoke alarm makes it difficult to think. You get low and it is still nearly impossible to see. Exit signs are invisible so you cannot find a door, let alone feel if it is warm. You are wandering blindly in search of an escape route and the smoke continues to thicken. Yet there is little sense of urgency among these students--only a smattering of giggles and a string of comments about the potency of the enveloping shroud of fog. This has been the experience for over 15,000 (+) college students over the last 10 years. Randall Hormann developed this highly effective educational tool geared for first year students. We can take a building (residence hall, fraternity house, etc..) student call home and disorient them in a matter of minutes while maintaining safety and control of the training session. Fires and fire related deaths involving college and university students prompted the need to develop a training program that would educate the students while making it fun and exciting.

Cyber Stalking

  • According to the National Institute of Justice, Unsolicited email is one of the most common forms of harassment, including hate, obscene, or threatening mail. As with stalking in the physical world, email stalking can result from an attempt to initiate a relationship, repair a relationship, or threaten and traumatize a person. While email stalking may be comparable to traditional stalking in some instances, it is not restricted to this format. Stalkers can more comprehensively use the Internet in order to slander and endanger their victims. The stalker can assume control of the victim's computer and the only defensive option for the victim is to disconnect and relinquish their current Internet "address". The situation is like discovering that anytime you pick up the phone, a stalker is on-line and in control of your phone. Being knowledgeable about educating students about cyber stalking is extremely important on college campuses, especially since a college community is so close nit. Students rely on computers to assist them in everyday work for school, as well as for social purposes. (020) - Presented by  LIGATT Security International
