Six fire alarms. And not even six weeks into the term. Two planned drills, a drunk pulling it, overcooked popcorn, cooking smoke, a student lighting a cigarette (whether or not it was weed or tobacco, I don't know).The campus police has had enough. The fire department has had enough. But most notably, the students and my friend and suitemates have had enough. You think they could disable the fire alarm system in the hopes that a safe alternative in the case of a real fire (which could kill after all those false alarms, as what happened at Seton Hall U in January 2000). Any suggestions?
Put up a smoke detector in the kitchen and in bedrooms. Deduct what you paid from your rent. this will help keep you safe and CYA.
Wear splash proof safety goggles, rubber gloves (thick, not the cheap ones like in a restaurant), loose clothing with long sleeves, full length pants and a face shied. Also have proper ventilation so the fumes don't get to you.
wear long sleeve shirts and long pants, and shoes, never shorts, short sleeves or sandals. wear safety glasses, gloves, and a lab coat. work on an acid resistant surface in a facility with a concrete floor. work in a fume hood whenever possible. prevent contact with all incompatible materials such as strong reducing agents, strong oxidizing agents, and potentially hazardous gas generating materials such as chlorides,hypochlorites, chlorates, perchlorates, cyanates, cyanides, etc. always know where fire extinguishers and emergency wash stations are located.
