Fire safety regulations; E. you 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 overload electrical sockets nor use adaptors which are not CE or BS marked. Adaptors found not to be CE or BS markedallowed anywhere within the buildings, will be removed and disposed of without notice to on Health and Safety grounds F. including balconies (this includes the use of candles 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 • Cooking must never be left unsupervised when in the oven or incense on the hob Any resident not complying with these requirements will receive a formal written warning as detailed in the Student Accommodation Regulations. 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 any item with/requiring 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 naked flame 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 ensure the fan has been activated. Individuals/flats/floors that persistently activate the fire alarm by burning food, not closing shower doors or any part other such careless action will be charged for the resulting fire brigade call-outs, which may be in the region of several hundred pounds. Fire drills are carried out at least twice a year. All residents must evacuate during fire evacuation practices, failure to do so may result in written warnings as detailed in the Student Accommodation Regulations.

This will involve them setting off the alarm in your flat/corridor and then checking to see if all of the Halls sounders work properly.
