As the cooler weather moves in, many areas within the campus
buildings may experience an imbalance in the efficiency of the heating
system. Often, the “quick-fix” is the use of a portable space heater. While this
may solve a localized area, it may mask a larger issue that can be easily
corrected by facilities technicians. The first step to resolve heating issues is
to refer to the facilities department. If the need for a space heater is
confirmed, there are specific guidelines that have been established by the
university to govern their use. These important safety guidelines have been
developed to reduce the chance of accidental fires, burns, or other
environmental hazards. Please take the time to review this guideline before
using any portable heater in your work area:
Appendix VI, University Guidelines for the Use of Supplemental Portable Space
Heaters.
If you have any other questions regarding the use of a space heater on campus
after reviewing this guideline, please contact the Office of Environmental
Health & Safety. Thank you for doing your part to keep our campus fire-safe.
