The New York State Office of Fire Prevention and Control (OFPC) conducts annual building inspections of all college and universities in New York State. The 2024 inspections of Rensselaer's academic and administrative buildings begin on February 27 and are expected to take approximately five weeks.

Understanding and complying with fire safety requirements is everyone's responsibility.  The EHS webpage now has information about fire prevention and common issues identified during state fire inspections. Check your areas for potential fire safety violations and correct any issues that are identified. Your actions can prevent fires on campus!

Contact EHS with any questions about fire safety requirements or state fire inspections.
