Lawrence Labbe, Fire Marshal,

WHAT TO EXPECT FROM A US DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION AUDIT OF YOUR FEDERAL FIRE SAFETY REPORTING COMPLIANCE
 - A Personal Experience -

Mr. Labbe was placed into a position most of us have not been in, but could be in at anytime in the future. Just as Larry was, you very easily could be on the receiving end of this "knock on the door".

After being hired by Georgia Tech in September 2010, Larry had to submit the 2010 Right To Know report. Ironically, the following year Georgia Tech was selected for a random audit by both the FBI and DOE. From this experience, your speaker will share the planning, preparation and the actual audit events with you. There are many ways to be selected to receive an audit, hopefully this session will better prepare you for that possibility....see more about Larry and The Higher Education Act above in our Keynote link....

The Higher Education Act (HEA) was signed into law by by President Bush Aug. 14, 2008. The new law requires colleges and universities that maintain on-campus housing to compile fire data, report the data to the federal government, and publish an annual fire safety report that gives students, parents and the public current information about fires in on-campus housing. Colleges are also required to maintain a fire log that captures specific information about fires that occur in on-campus housing.
