Posters - Wrapping Paper Doors - Decorations

This notice is from the archives of The Notice Board. Information contained in this notice was accurate at the time of publication but may no longer be so.

We would like to remind you not to over-decorate doors, walls and windows with combustible materials (i.e. paper/posters). 

When decorating your respective areas, please ensure combustibles (e.g. posters, wrapping paper on doors) do not exceed 20 per cent coverage of the wall/door/window surface on egress routes (Section 2.3.1.3 of the Alberta Fire Code) as these combustibles can contribute to the spread of fire.

Should a fire break out, egress may be obstructed creating a life-safety issue.  

If the material is non-combustible or coverage is less than 20 per cent, items can remain. 

If you have any questions, please contact safety.services@uleth.ca
