However, the following rules are a mandatory requirement within UCL buildings: Prohibited Remember - the fire and building regulations provide strict controls on fire spread and combustibility on surfaces of stairs, corridors in design, and occupation. Just because it is Christmas or a festival, these requirements MUST not be ignored but become more important in their implementation; Natural Christmas Trees quickly dry out in the buildings warm atmosphere becoming a high fire loaded Which Propagate fire rapidly Candles - candles, including birthday cakes, aromatherapy or any other type of burners are not permitted in UCL Buildings as not only an obvious fire risk but smoke likely to cause an unwanted smoke being detection activating the building fire alarm and an unwanted building evacuation and the fire brigade; Decorations any decorations, such as tinsel, etc., must be located away from heat and ignition sources, such as light fittings, heaters and electrical equipment; Decorations - displays must never be located in escape routes, protected corridors, staircases or lobbies; Decorations - displays must never impede the Means of Escape form the premises; Decorations - there should be no decorations located in hazard areas, such as laboratories; Decorations - which are combustible, should not be strung over corridors and stair ceilings; Acceptable Artificial Christmas Trees - are permitted on UCL premises, but these must be labelled or marked Fire Retardant ; Artificial Christmas Trees - fire retardant artificial Christmas trees located in offices, receptions NOT forming part of the Means of Escape from the premises; Decorations - located in offices in a suitable manner (away from ignition sources); Festive Lights - are permitted on UCL premises, but they have been manufactured in accordance with BS EN 60598; Festive Lights - low heat LED lights located in offices, only switched on during office hours; - never left on out of working hours or when staff are not in attendance; Festive Lights - any festive lights should be checked periodically to ensure that they are not over-heating (it must be possible to touch them without being burnt) Risk Assessment - all decorations and displays must have been risk assessed locally by HoDs, DSOS, FEMS or general staff; Date Last Amended: Sep 15 1.
2 1.0. INTRODUCTION 1.1. This Technical Note has been designed to provide information relating to UCL fire safety policies on decorations and activities in UCL buildings. Festive Decorations have the potential to introduce new hazards into the workplace, and a sensible approach is required, to ensure that any risks are managed and mitigated as far as is reasonably practicable. 1.2 Statistical evidence demonstrates that instances of fires causing deaths and injuries are at their peak during December and January. In light of this evidence, UCL has an obligation to control risks associated with festive decorations to maintain a safe work and study environment during festive periods. 1.3 Decorations are often introduced into buildings by staff and students during festive periods, such as Christmas, or traditional religious celebrations. Where this is the case, Heads of Department (HoD), Departmental Safety Officers (DSOs), Fire Evacuation Marshals (FEMs) and staff will have duties in respect of ensuring that fire safety standards are maintained in UCL premises. 2.0 Mandatory Rules for Decorations 2.1 The following rules are a mandatory requirement within UCL buildings: Natural Christmas trees are not allowed in UCL premises; Candles are not allowed in UCL premises; All decorations and displays must have been risk assessed locally by HoDs, DSOS, FEMS or general staff; Decorations and displays must never be located in escape routes, protected corridors, staircases or lobbies; Decorations and displays must never impede means of escape; 2.2. Remember, the fire and building regulations provide strict controls on fire spread and combustibility on surfaces of stairs, corridors in design, and occupation. Just because it is Christmas, these requirements should not be ignored in fact they are more important. 3.0 Risk Assessment of Decorations and Displays 3.1 All decorations and displays must have been risk assessed and suitable control measures introduced to minimize the risk of fire. Date Last Amended: Sep 15 2.
3 3.2 More specifically, the following should be considered: UCL Fire Technical Note No: TN120 If artificial Christmas trees are located on UCL premises, these must bear a label marked Fire Retardant ; If festive lights are located on UCL premises, it must be confirmed that these have been manufactured in accordance with BS EN 60598; Any festive lights should be checked periodically to ensure that they are not over-heating (it must be possible to touch them without being burnt); If festive lights are used, power cables should be visually inspected periodically and confirmed to be in good condition, plugs are properly inserted into sockets, inappropriate extension leads are not used, no bulbs have blown, and a regime is in place to ensure that lights are switched off when unattended; Any decorations, such as tinsel, etc., must be located away from heat and ignition sources, such as light fittings, heaters and electrical equipment; There should be no decorations located in hazard areas, such as laboratories; Decorations which are combustible, should not be strung over corridors and stair ceilings; 3.3. Christmas Trees If you are going to display a tree, select an artificial one that is flame retardant. Make sure your tree is secure and cannot fall over; Position the tree so that it does not block exit routes, fire notices, fire alarm call points or firefighting equipment; Never use candles as tree decorations; Use tree decorations that are flame retardant; Use appropriate steps or other similar means of access when decorating (if your tree is large); If you are using decorative snow, foam or glitter take care that they are not sprayed near sources of ignition and that the can is disposed of in accordance with the instructions; Date Last Amended: Sep 15 3.
4 3.4. Decorative Lights Lights should be stamped with a CE mark and should comply with BSEN ; Check that they are fitted with the right size fuse (this should be marked on the box); Check that the lights are in good condition before they are used; Check that the plug and cabling on the lights are not damaged; Dispose of any lights that are damaged. If you are unsure of the condition of the lights discard them and buy new ones; Never attempt to join two sets of lights together or put two sets of lights on the same plug. Use a multi socket extension lead that is clearly marked with a CE mark; It is recommended that a residual current device is used with all lights. In addition, choose lights that are fitted with a transformer; Choose the smallest type of lights you can - these will produce less heat. If larger lights are required, ensure they are fitted with some type of reflector - a bare bulb should not be showing; Make sure cables are routed safely and do not create a trip hazard. Avoid placing the light cables under carpets or rugs; Always unplug lights at the end of the working day and if you need to change bulbs. 4.0 Acceptable Decorations 4.1 Subject to the previous provisions having been undertaken, the following would be considered reasonable: Decorations located in offices in a suitable manner (away from ignition sources); Low heat LED lights located in offices, only switched on during office hours; Fire retardant artificial Christmas trees located in offices; Displays and decorations checked by appropriate staff on a regular basis; Date Last Amended: Sep 15 4.
