Greetings all campus communicators,

For the month of October EHS will be promoting Fire Safety at UTK. This year has presented many unusual challenges. We are inundated by messages, new procedures, and updates that can leave us tired, confused, or simply burned out. In support of our annual slogan, “Safety Begins Between the Ears” we encourage the campus community to not get burned out. Don’t let the challenges we face keep us from thinking about fire safety. All Vols should maintain vigilance and attention to conditions that lead to fires.

 

    Stay alert to fire hazards

    Know how to respond

    Act when necessary

 

This month we will support various topics beginning with the National Fire Prevention Association’s Fire Prevention Week (October 4-10). This year, the NFPA is focused on home cooking fires. Many are working or learning remotely than before. Whether at home or in a UT residence hall, cooking fire safety has become more important. Please continue to follow us for some simple tools and guidance.

 

Please see our Facebook post below, consider following us, and help share the message.

Last month we received a request for a digital sign scale graphic. We have attached one here as well at 1920x1080px. Feel free to use the 600px graphic in my signature as well.

If have other requests or needs please contact me.

 

Best regards,

James
