Belmont University Annual Fire Safety Report 2016
Housing Facility Fire Safety Policies and Information
Electrical Appliances and Safety
In order to insure maximum health and safety standards in residential areas, several categories of electrical appliances have been established. Those categories are as follows:
• Prohibited Appliances (which may NOT be used or stored in residence halls) including but not limited to: coffee makers, toasters, toaster ovens, convection ovens, electric skillets, waffle or crepe pans, crock pots, hot plates, hamburger makers, space heaters, and electric blankets.
• Kitchen-only Appliances (which may be stored in rooms, but ONLY USED in kitchen facilities): oil popcorn poppers and George Foreman grills.
• Room Appliances (which may be used and stored in student rooms): musical instruments, hair dryers, fans, blenders, hot-air popcorn poppers, irons and single cup coffee makers without an open heating surface.
• Lighting Regulations and Safety: The University does not permit the use of halogen lamps or any other light that produces excessive heat in the student residential areas. Overhead, or room, lights may not be covered with any material. Though neon lights are permitted within residential areas, they may not be placed in windows or be seen from the exterior of the building. LED and CFL lightbulbs are encouraged when possible.
• Refrigerators that meet university standards (4.0 c.ft.) and are Energy Star rated are permitted. • Microwaves (between 700-800 watts) are allowed in residential areas. • The university reserves the right to remove and/or confiscate any appliance or device it deems unsafe
or problematic to a facility’s electrical system. All confiscated items will be held by the Residence Director (RD) until arrangements are made to return the item to the student, at which time it must be permanently removed from campus, such as a university break or holiday.
Electrical Extensions
In accordance with the direction of the fire marshal, the use or possession of 2-prong extension cords, multiple plugs, or multiple plug converters is prohibited within all of the residential areas. The fire marshal has approved the use of Underwriter’s Laboratories (UL) approved power strips with circuit breakers. In addition, 3-prong extension cords not longer than 12 feet in length are also permitted. Longer extension cords may be stored in residential rooms (e.g., as needed for musical equipment), but may not be in use. Please contact your Resident Assistant (RA) if you are unsure if your power strip or extension cord is permissible.
Smoking
Smoking is not allowed anywhere on Belmont’s campus.
Candle, Incense, Open Flame
Candles are not permitted within the residence halls or apartments. Any type of open flame or the presence of such items (candles, incense, tiki lamps and torches, etc.) is strictly prohibited. Even unused (decorative) candles/incense (with or without wicks) are prohibited in Belmont facilities. The presence of any type of open flame (or evidence of a flame) in university property will result in confiscation of the item and referral l to the disciplinary system. Scentsy brand wax warmers are permitted.

Emergency Procedures
Belmont University is committed to equipping you with tools to aid in your safety in the event of an on-campus emergency. Below is a list of common emergency procedures; however, a detailed list of emergencies and procedures is available on My Belmont (in Campus Security & Safety), titled Campus Emergency Plan. Please familiarize yourself with all emergency procedures.
Fire Evacuation
Every time a fire alarm is activated, all residents must exit the building unless they have been notified prior to the event that it is not necessary to evacuate (as in testing of the alarms, etc.)
• If there is a fire or activated alarm in the building:
1. Evacuate the building using the stairs (NEVER use the elevator) 2. If the smoke is thick, crawl close to the floor to avoid smoke inhalation. 3. Make your way to the designated exterior gathering area and then alert emergency
response personnel 4. (If alarm has not been activated) Call Campus Security at (615) 460-6911. 5. If reporting the emergency, state your name, building, location of fire (wing, floor, room,
etc.) and nature of the fire (laundry, equipment, mattress, etc.) If possible, stay on the line for questions, if it is safe to do so. Campus Security will contact the Nashville Fire Department.

If you are trapped in a building during a fire: 1. If you cannot get out of the building, go to the refuge area in the stairwell. 2. If there is a fire in the hallway, stay in your room, close the doors, dial Campus Security at (615)460-6911
and stand close to the window to signal for help. 3. Put something in the window to alert emergency responders to your location. 4. If smoke is entering the room through the cracks in the door, stuff wet clothes in the cracks. 5. Stay close to the floor to avoid smoke inhalation, but continue to shout and peek out through the window
to alert emergency responders.

Fire Drills
Fire drills are conducted at least twice per year for all residence halls. Apartment complexes do not have fire drills at this time.
