March 7th, 2010

Hello and welcome to Columbus, Ohio for our 7 th Annual Professional Development Conference aExpo. As the largest campus fire safety conference event of its kind to date, I am honored to welcom250 plus people who have assembled to make this record setting event possible

This conference marks the continuation of further enlightened efforts in the area of Campus Fire SaSecurity and Risk Management. The composition of training, education, and new technologies has new emerging trends and educational programs to make safe campuses around the world.

January 19th of this year marked the 10th anniversary of the deadly fire at Seton Hall University in wthree students lost their lives to fire in a residence hall. At that time, the United States had a rash of and fire-related deaths of college students. These last 10 years have brought national attention to thforts, programs, and new laws put into place to allow changes aimed at preventing such tragedies infuture. We thank you for having the vested interest to see our nations future leaders safe from fire ago off to college and learn to be our leaders of tomorrow.

I would also like to thank our key corporate partners who help and supports us to make this event p

I can hold my head high to say there is no other active organization that can provide you the traininhave assembled, the facilities we have offered and the housing we have provided you for the cost oftwo days! And I am proud to say it has been that way since we organized our first professional devment program eight years ago.

Enjoy your time in Columbus and remember: Education is the Key to Success!!

Have a great stay,

Mass Notification

MR. RODGER REISWIG

Students, their parents and the general public w ant to know about the emergency notification procedures tha

in place. Under the Clery Act, campuses are required to provide "timely warning" of various criminal threats. T

faced by higher education, however, go far beyond those enumerated in the Clery Act and include severe wea

class cancellations, bomb threats, and hazardous material contamination incidents, as well as threats from der

als.

The interest in this subject is on target for this years conference and expo. Mass Notification has been the cam

for quite some time now. How does Mass Notification work for the campus environment and the challenges of

the technology to make these systems work? How loud should your messages be? What will make them intell

occupants? Where do you put the speakers and how many should you place? What is reasonable and respons

mass notification systems are about people movement and getting the message out in a timely fashion.

These events and others that have unfolded over the last couple of years have caused a great swing in the edu

place. New guides, standards and codes are being developed. Many were already in the making but recent evethe industry to step up the pace. With that I would l ike to report on what these new papers are and where the

from. Many companies will start or have started to approach the universities with their bag of products and cal

Notification. I offer to provide a training session on exactly what Mass Notification is and what NFPA, NEMA a

zations are doing.

Campus Fire Safety Right-to-Know Act

The Campus Fire Safety Right-to-Know Act (sponsored by Congressman Bill Pascrell and Senator Frank Lautenb

Jersey) requires colleges to report fire safety information to the U.S. Department of Education. Many of the co

Right-to-Know Act were successfully included in the recently enacted Higher Education Opportunity Act. As a r

institutions will be required to make annual fire safety reports available to the public Many of the core ideals o

Know Act were successfully included in the recently enacted Higher Education Opportunity Act. The Center for

Safety (CCFS) is actively working with the US Department of Education as they develop the regulations that wi

colleges and universities through their compliance with Campus Fire Safety Right-to-Know.

Some of the specific r eporting details include:

The number of fires and the cause of each fire

The number of injuries and deaths related to a fire

The value of property damage caused by a fire

Description of the fire protection equipment (alarms/sprinklers) in each on-campus housing unit

The number of regular mandatory supervised fire drills, policies or rules on regarding fire safetyeducation and training programs provided to students, faculty and staff plans for future improvements in f

if determined necessary by such institution.

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 resi-dence hall corridor filled with smoke,

relying on the walls for balance and

direction. You extend an arm and re-

alize your hand has disappeared. Dis-

orientation 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 invisi-

ble so you cannot find a door, let

alone feel if it is warm. You are wan-

dering 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 hasbeen 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, frater-

nity house, etc..) student call home

and disorient them in a matter of min-

utes while maintaining safety and

control of the training session. Fires

and fire-related deaths involving col-

lege and university students

prompted the need to develop a

training program that would educate

the students while making it fun and

exciting. (037) - Presented by Cam-

Campus Pandemic Health Emergency

- Pandemic FluNow that the H1N1 Influenza has

reached pandemic levels, has your

organization developed and revised

measures to protect your business

throughout the course of this public

health concern? At "Implementing

Pandemic Planning in the University

Environment" you will get a behind

the scenes look at the process and

resources developed by the Division

of Residential and Food Services Pan-

demic Planning Committee at Michi-

gan State University. This program will

share a historical perspective of pan-

demic flu as well as lessons learned

throughout the implementation of

pandemic related business continuity

plans. (022) - Presented by MichiganState University

Cyber Stalking

According to the National Institute of

Justice, unsolicited email is one of the

most common forms of harassment,

including hate, obscene, or threaten-

ing mail. As with stalking in the physi-

cal world, email stalking can result

from an attempt to initiate a relation-

ship, repair a relationship, or threaten

and traumatize a person. While email

stalking may be comparable to tradi-

tional stalking in some instances, it is

not restricted to this format. Stalkers

can more comprehensively use the

Internet in order to slander and en-

danger their victims. The stalker can

assume control of the victim's com-

puter and the only defensive option

for the victim is to disconnect and

relinquish their current Internet

"address". The situation is like discov-

ering that anytime you pick up the

phone, a stalker is on-line and in con-

trol of your phone. Being knowledge-

able about educating students about

cyber stalking is extremely important

on college campuses, especially since

a college community is so close knit.

Students rely on computers to assist

them in everyday work for school, as

well as for social purposes. (020) -

NFPA 72 - National Fire Alarm Code -

an Overview of Inspection, Testing,

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 main-

tained noting that impairments/

problems will not be obvious without

testing. NFPA 72 is referenced by

most fire codes throughout the coun-

try including the International Fire

Code. (008) - Presented by Hughes

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 will discuss

the different approaches and engi-

neering fixes that are currently avail-

able. Some of these include a brief

discussion on developing a workable

fire and life safety plan, some simple

instructional techniques for behav-ioral change and examples of engi-

neering fixes that are effective,

affordable, and currently available on

the market. We will also leave a brief

period for some specific problem solv-

Fire Sprinkler Education

In Champaign, we have successfully

conquered 2 of the 3 Es 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. Dur-

ing this presentation, we will share

our ordinance, tell of some of the

experiences weve encountered when

students and sprinklers mix and show

one solution to help teach how to live

in a sprinklered building. (029) - Pre-

NFPA 25 - Water Based Fire Protec-

tion - an overview of Inspection,

Testing, and Maintenance

NFPA 25, Inspection, Testing, and

Maintenance of Water-Based Fire

Protection Systems. As its name speci-

fies, the standard consolidates all the

requirements for sprinkler systems

and related systems such as under-

ground piping, fire pumps, storage

tanks, water spray systems and foam

water sprinkler systems. The main

reason for the standard is that inade-

quate maintenance was one of the

contributing factors for system fail-

ures. 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 inten-tionally, or maybe mistakenly. This

standard pays attention to that par-

ticular 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) - Pre-

Public Access AED's

The purchasing and placement of

"Automatic External Deliberators" is

probably the easiest part of establish-

ing an effective program for public

access to these potentially lifesavingpieces of equipment. We will discuss

how to develop an AED program. How

much more is needed than just hang-

ing them on the wall, placing them

behind a counter, or at the life guard

stand at the pool. There are concerns

for vandalism and theft, co

about misuse of a medical d

concerns about maintaining

vices ready for use, and, of

concern for the type and am

Auburn University and the City of Au-

burn entered into a contract agree-

ment to provide a Fraternity Fire

Safety Program to address critical fire

safety issues in fraternity houses and

facilities housing student organiza-

tions both on and off campus. The

program was created by a committee

that included the University's Depart-

ment 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 fra-

ternities.

3. For all renovations and/or new

construction fraternities are required

to submit plans and specifications for

review and approval.

4. Required Fire Protection Systemsand Equipment. All fraternities were

to retro-fit fraternity houses by year

2008 and contract a certified fire pro-

tection equipment contractor to in-

spect all systems in accordance with

the applicable codes.

Off Campus Housing Fire Safety

Can we do more to protect students?

Local authorities and academic ad-

ministrators need to rethink their roll

and responsibility for off-campus fire

safety. Officials need to think beyond

passive fire protection and look to-

ward influencing the installation of

fire sprinklers in new student housing

as well as the retrofit of NFPA 13D

compliant fire sprinkler systems in theexisting student housing inven-

tory. This presentation will discuss

why it is time we look beyond our

dependence on smoke alarms

(passive fire protection) to a more

effective smoke alarm fire / sprinkler

system combination approach to pro-

tecting our students from fire in off

campus housing. The life safety bene-

fits of such an approach, ideas as to

how to influence the future of resi-

dential fire protection as well as the

components of the systems will be

presented. (017) - Presented by Na-

tional 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 em-

phasis on laboratory safety. Most

pre-lab sessions include a discussion

some safety topic, usually one that is

relevant to the experiment being per-

formed. Pre-lab readings and on-line

quizzes are assigned that force stu-

dents to come to the pre-lab session

with some nominal understanding of

a particular safety topic. Then, the

pre-lab discussion is often a discus-

sion of various lab scenarios that in-

volve 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 firesafety on campus. Each student gets

hands-on experience using a carbon

dioxide extinguisher on a small alco-

hol fire. When discussing emergency

response we also broaden the dis-

cussion to what to do with regard to

a variety of emergencies ranging from

lab fires to tornados to active shoot-

ers. The presentation for the con-

ference would be an overview of our

program, including the discussion of

safety issues across the chemistry

curriculum. (28) - Presented by Wit-

tenberg University


Compliance Approaches for Campus

Laboratory FacilitiesThe 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 empha-

sis on chemistry activities, and conse-

quently store and use larger quanti-

ties of materials. From a fire protec-

tion and life safety standpoint, the

model codes contain several design

approaches for the storage and use of

hazardous materials in such facili-

ties. This presentation provides de-

tails of three code compliance ap-

proaches for fire protection and sepa-

ration 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

UI Fire Factor Academy

The twin Cities of Champaign and Ur-

bana, along with the University of

Illinois, have offered 10 Fire Factor

Academies. The day-long fire acad-

emies are for college student leaders

from various housing units. Each par-ticipating Residential Advisor or fra-

ternity or sorority officer is then chal-

lenged to go back and help us spread

the fire safety message in their uni-

versity home. To aid them with pres-

entations, we worked closely with a

senior level Graphic Arts Class who

created a comprehensive safety cam-

paign 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. (024) - Presented by Cham-

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 intro-

duced in response to the ban on Ha-

lon. Clean agents are very effective

fire extinguishing agents and are envi-

ronmentally more acceptable. They

leave no residue, are electrically non-

conductive and are not cold enough

to create thermal stress on the ob-

jects 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 Univer-

sity of Arizona currently has 14 Halon

and 10 clean agent systems. NFPA

2001 is the Standard on Clean Agent

Fire Extinguishing Systems. This pres-

entation will address the design; in-

stallation and testing of clean agent

systems as required by NFPA

2001. The presentation will also

highlight a few lessons learned. (027)

Assemblies and Atria - Life Safety

Design Challenges on Campuses

Assembly spaces on a college cam-puses like lecture halls, performing

arts centers, recreation centers or

stadiums are often high-profile cam-

pus buildings used to attract students,

parents, educators and donors. These

high occupancy spaces require special

attention to occupants 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 re-

duce the number of stories and con-

struction type of the building, chal-lenges with designing an adequate

number of exits with long travel dis-

tances, and fire detection by use of

traditional devices and new technol-

ogy available in the marketplace. The

presentation will also cover common

challenges with atria on college cam-

puses. Specifically, a brief overview of

smoke control system concepts,

tradeoffs associated with fire detec-

tion methods, and the importance of

third party commissioning of a smoke

control system will also be presented.

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 juris-

diction was transferred from a resi-

dential 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 firewas contained and relatively small,

the presentation shows the extent

that the students will go to conduct

their ritual ceremonies which no re-

gard to fire safety. Over 250 candles

were found to be in use during the

fire and all the emergency

blocked with furniture. Thi

tion was critical in the Dean

dents office decisions to ma

prevention training for Gre

and pre-rush inspections fo

houses. (025) - Presented b
