The safety police are relatively inactive at Notre Dame, however the recent death of a student due to apparent gross negligence has meant their activities are ratcheting up.  Still pretty harmless though.

Campus safety representatives ask all who are leaving offices to take the following steps while leaving for Christmas break:

 

- Unplug all electrical items, even those in use, to minimize the threat of fire

- Empty and unplug refrigerators if possible

- Turn off all lights, no matter how small they are

- Pick up all items off of the floors and store them

- Close and lock all windows to prevent fire alarm system problems and frozen pipes

- Contact the Maintenance Help Desk, 631-7701, for assistance if windows do not latch or lock properly
