All residence halls and apartments owned and operated by
the University are in compliance with Rhode Island state fire codes. Salve
Regina reviews the fire safety systems in our residence halls and apartments on
a regular basis and makes upgrades, repairs or revisions when problems are
identified. Licensed technicians certify these systems are working properly as
prescribed by state fire codes.
Fire Reporting
Statistics
The Higher Education Opportunity Act requires all U.S. institutions
of higher education to produce an annual fire safety report outlining fire
safety practices, standards and all fire-related on-campus statistics. Salve
Regina's fire safety report details all information required by this law as it
relates to the University.
Fire Safety in Assembly
Occupancies
Salve Regina's policy for fire safety in assembly
occupancies defines procedures that ensure compliance with fire safety rules
and regulations for University events. Whenever 50 or more people are expected
to attend an event inside a Salve Regina owned or leased property, the
individual sponsor or representative of the sponsoring organization must review
these procedures prior to the event and assure compliance before and during the
event.
