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 2025 inspections of Rensselaer's academic and administrative buildings begin on January 15 and are expected to take approximately six weeks.

Understanding and complying with fire safety requirements is everyone's responsibility.  The EHS webpage 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. Contact your building coordinator if you have questions or need assistance. Your actions can prevent fires on campus!

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