Health and Safety Checks are required in all residence halls and apartments each September. The purpose of these checks is to increase safety within the buildings through timely awareness and removal of illegal appliances and other policy violations from student rooms. This process also allows staff an opportunity to educate residents through positive, personal contact.
During the check, the RAs conduct a non-invasive scan of the room. RAs do not open drawers, refrigerators, closets, etc. RAs may move, or ask the resident to move, furniture that is blocking outlets. The RAs look for the following:
- Illegal appliances
- Lounge furniture
- Fire safety violations
- Flammable liquids (i.e. lighter fluid, gasoline)
- Fireworks
- Propane tanks
- Tampering fire safety equipment
- Stolen property
- Weapons
- Drug paraphernalia
