If you know that you have set off the fire alarm, whether by accident or because of a real fire, contact a member of staff once outside. Fire safety is a major concern in any hall of residence. For the halls of residence to stay open we must comply with numerous legal requirements. We also have some simple rules in place to protect Residents: • A number of items are prohibited from rooms (for example candles, incense); • Smoking is not allowed anywhere within the buildings, including balconies (this includes the use of e-cigarettes and shisha pipes); • Fire equipment must not be tampered with; • Fire alarm tests are carried out every week; • Fire evacuations will be carried out at least twice a year; Accommodation Agreement 2021/22 Student Resident • Cooking must never be left unsupervised when in the oven or on the hob. Accommodation Agreement 2022-23 Student Resident ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Any Student not complying with these requirements will receive a formal written warning as detailed in the Student Accommodation Regulations and may be issued with a penalty by the fire service. Fire equipment must not be tampered with. This includes setting off fire extinguishers for no reason, letting out fire blankets, covering smoke detectors and keeping fire doors open. If you tamper with any aspect of the fire detection or firefighting equipment not only do you put yourself at risk of fire but also your friends, colleagues and neighbours. Tampering with fire equipment is a criminal offence, not simply a contravention of the halls rules and regulations. Should we be unable to determine who is responsible we will consider it the responsibility of all Residents in the flat and action will be taken accordingly. We would advise you to note that covering the smoke detector in your room is very easily attributable. Also, taking the smoke detector apart is easily identifiable as the system reports it to us as a fault. Again this is very easily traced back to the responsible Resident. The fire alarm can be activated by steam. Therefore, in en suite rooms, you must close the bathroom door when showering and activate the fan. Individuals/flats/floors that persistently activate the fire alarm by burning food, not closing shower doors or other such careless action will be charged for the resulting fire brigade call-outs which may be in the region of several hundred pounds.
