Fire Safety
天堂视频 has a campus area and on-site population which is roughly the size of a small town. There are significant stocks of combustible materials across campus in teaching, research and support departments which have innumerable sources of ignition. In addition to this there are approximately 6000 students in halls of residence both on and off campus. The University has clear control systems in place, and it is the role of the Fire Safety Officer and wider health and safety team to ensure all activities can take place without significant risk of fire or fire related injury.
