Fire and Electrical Safety in Your Dormitory

Avoid becoming a statistic by following the advice from the Electrical Safety Foundation International.

* You may be tempted to buy an inexpensive tall halogen lamp. But did you know that the bulbs can get hot enough to ignite curtains, blankets, or towels that are too close? If the lamp has a 500W bulb, replacing it with a 300W bulb will help. Some colleges do not allow halogen lamps, no matter what the bulb wattage.
* The bulb on a fluorescent floor lamp reaches 200 degrees. A 300W bulb on a halogen lamp can reach 970 degrees. Fluorescent is not only safer; it will keep your dorm room cooler.
* Do not run extension cords under carpet or rest furniture on them. This can cause cords to overheat and ignite.
* Be cautious when using toaster ovens. They get hot enough on the outside to ignite notebooks and loose paper near them.
* If your dorm room has old-fashioned two-prong outlets, don’t sever the third prong (the grounding prong) in order to plug an item in. Prevent shocks and electrocutions, and protect your electronic equipment by using adaptors instead.
* Note the location of the nearest fire extinguisher and familiarize yourself with how they are used.
* Do not disable smoke detectors, even “sensitive” ones that go off frequently.
* Replace smoke detector batteries every six months.

College Fire Safety
college

Every year college and university students experience a growing number of fire-related emergencies. There are several causes for these fires; however, most are due to a general lack of knowledge about fire safety and prevention.

The Facts

In cases where fire fatalities occurred on college campuses, alcohol was often a factor. There is a strong link between alcohol and fire deaths. In more than 50% of adult fire fatalities, victims were under the influence at the time of the fire. Alcohol abuse often impairs judgment and hampers evacuation efforts. Cooking is the leading cause of fire injuries on college campuses, closely followed by careless smoking and arson.
The Cause

Many factors contribute to the problem of dormitory housing fires.

* Improper use of 911 notification systems delays emergency response.
* Student apathy is prevalent. Many are unaware that fire is a risk or threat in the environment.
* Evacuation efforts are hindered since fire alarms are often ignored.
* Building evacuations are delayed due to lack of preparation and preplanning.
* Vandalized and improperly maintained smoke alarms and fire alarm systems inhibit early detection of fires.
* Misuse of cooking appliances, overloaded electrical circuits and extension cords increase the risk of fires.

Safety Precautions

* Provide students with a program for fire safety and prevention.
* Teach students how to properly notify the fire department using the 911 system.
* Install smoke alarms in every dormitory room and every level of housing facilities.
* Maintain and regularly test smoke alarms and fire alarm systems. Replace smoke alarm batteries every semester.
* Regularly inspect rooms and buildings for fire hazards. Ask your local fire department for assistance.
* Inspect exit doors and windows and make sure they are working properly.
* Create and update detailed floor plans of buildings, and make them available to emergency personnel, resident advisors and students.
* Conduct fire drills and practice escape routes and evacuation plans. Urge students to take each alarm seriously.
* Do not overload electrical outlets and make sure extension cords are used properly.
* Learn to properly use and maintain heating and cooking appliances.

Aristocrat restaurant at Robinsons Ermita:
An employee at said restaurant, on May 24, 2008,gave me less money change than I was entitled to receive. Also the receipt given to me had a VAT charge separate from the price of food. I believe said firm violated the Consumer Act of the Philippines.
