Program Descriptions
 

(KEY) Key Note Address

Robin Hattersley Gray,
EXECUTIVE EDITOR - CAMPUS SAFETY MAGAZINE

Robin has been covering the security and campus public safety industries since 1998 and is a specialist in emerging technologies and systems integration. A certified NTS alarm technician, she joined CS in 2005 and has authored award-winning editorial on important campus safety and security issues such as department funding, officer recruitment and retention, access control, IP video, network integration, event management, perimeter security, crime trends, the Clery Act, emergency communications, incident management software and more.

Lawrence Labbe,
FIRE MARSHAL - GEORGIA TECH.

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
 

(1) Know Your Sprinkler System

Presented By: Zurich Risk Engineering

This presentation will be created new for the Conference.  It will be an intermediate-level presentation for those who understand some of the ‘why’ of sprinklers but little of the ‘how’. 

Topics will include (but not limited too):

·         History and performance of sprinklers

·         System components and how they work

·         Types of systems – wet, dry, pre-action, deluge 

·         Examples/case studies/success stories

_______________________________________

(2) Session: TBA

Presented by: Hughes Associates.

This presentation is still being developed.

_______________________________________

(3) Risk Management - General safety issues on campus, special event planning, etc... 

Presented by: Depauw University

The Focus will be special event planning, specifically dignitary protection and large campus events.  Areas covered in the presentation will be:

• Resources for assessing risk based on history and current events

• Working with State, Federal and Local agencies

• Intelligence Fusion Centers as a resource

• Working with campus administration and Itinerary assessment

• Assessing venue vulnerabilities,  hardening target areas

• Securing alternate / multiple venues for events

• Audience / Spectator control, ingress and egress issues

• Using ICS to develop an event plan as well as emergency plans

_______________________________________

(6) Suicidal Students

Presented by: Tri-Harbour Training

While suicidal behaviors are often evident in a wide cross-section of people, there is general agreement that there are two distinct groups of students on campus who may be at higher risk for suicide: students who have pre-existing mental health conditions when they enter college and students who develop mental health problems during the college years. Age, gender, ethnicity, and treatment status all have an impact on the risk profile. There are several steps that college administrators can take to establish a comprehensive, collaborative program aimed at the reduction of suicidal ideation and suicidal behaviors on their campuses

_______________________________________

(7) Hoarding on Campus

Presented by:  University of Oklahoma

Hoarding is even more dangerous when you're on campus. Hoarding behaviors occur in many clinical syndromes but are most commonly linked to obsessive compulsive disorder. Surprisingly little empirical work has examined the nature of hoarding behaviors despite their association with significant distress and impairment

_______________________________________

(8) How to Effectively Reach your Target Audience

Presented by: Corvallis Fire Department/Oregon State University Corvallis, Oregon

In the campus environment there are several target audiences, and how to draft your message and deliver it can vary significantly from an off-campus undergrad to a career research director.  In this class we will explore how to craft simple but specific messages for the appropriate audience as well as choosing the most effective delivery method based upon individual learning style.

_______________________________________

(9) Make the Most of the Annual Exercise Requirements

Presented by: All Clear Emergency Management Group

Under the changes in the Higher Education Opportunity Act (HEOA), campuses will have the responsibility of testing their emergency response and evacuation procedures and emergency notification procedures annually beginning in 2010. This session will provide valuable lessons learned and best practices in exercise design, volunteer recruitment and management, safe conduct, media coverage, evaluation, and improvement planning. Attendees will learn how to make the most of the opportunities created during an exercise to build relationships within the campus and with outside agencies, improve response times, enhance staff and student awareness and training and justify requests for increased funding from university leadership. This session will serve as a basic overview of the Homeland Security Exercise and Evaluation Program (HSEEP). Learn how to make your exercise program HSEEP-compliant with some simple planning steps and the benefits of utilizing this national standard. Attendees will be introduced to the resources available through the HSEEP Toolkit and how to adapt these tools to your campus’ needs.

(10) Communications with Campus Stakeholders - Before, During and After a Crises.

Presented by: Arthur J. Gallagher Risk Management Services

How would your institution respond to a media inquiry during a crisis?  What you say may be as important as what your institution does in avoiding a public relations crisis on top of your existing natural or man-made disaster.  A media crisis plan can help your institution identify your core stakeholders and their expectations for information.  The plan will also establish practices for responding to and working with the media to assure that your message is clearly and accurately represented.  A properly structured proactive crisis communications plan should help reduce reputational risk and the potential for resulting litigation.

(11) Fire Prevention and Safety in Greek Housing

Presented By: Purdue University

Description in process.

(12) Public Access to AEDs

Presented by: Joffe Emergency Services  - American Heart Association Training Site

The purchasing and placement of "Automatic External Deliberators" is probably the easiest part of establishing an effective program for public access to these potentially lifesaving pieces of equipment. We will discuss how to develop an AED program. How much more is needed than just hanging them on the wall, placing them behind a counter, or at the life guard stand at the pool? There are concerns for vandalism and theft, concerns about misuse of a medical device, concerns about maintaining the devices ready for use, and, of course, concern for the type and amount of training that is needed for students and staff.

(15) Fire Alarm Plan Review - An Overview

Presented by:  Fire Code Academy and Fire & Life Safety Consultants

The Fire Alarm Plan Review Overview is designed to provide information on how to evaluate a complete set of construction documents for compliance with applicable codes and standards;

·         Identify primary functions of fire detection and alarm systems.

·         Describe key components of fire detection and alarm systems.

·         Identify proper device installation and wiring techniques.

·         Identify source documents for fire alarm and detection system installation, testing and maintenance.

Attending this session will help ensure compliance with building and fire codes and make sure your passive fire protection systems are working properly. 

Note: You will need your building and Fire Codes.

_______________________________________

(16) Sprinkler System Plan Review - An Overview

Presented by:  Fire Code Academy and Fire & Life Safety Consultants

This topic covers review of sprinkler system components as shown on plans. Using actual plans and calculations, attendees will learn how to separate the important data hidden inside hydraulic calculation and how to verify the plan matches the calculations. This plan review information can be used by inspectors in the field and reviewers in the office, for both commercial and residential systems (NFPA 13D and 13R).

Attending this session will help ensure compliance with building and fire codes and make sure your passive fire protection systems are working properly. 

Note: You will need your building and Fire Codes.

_______________________________________

(17) Inspection and Maintenance of Passive Fire Protection

Presented by:  Fire Code Academy and Fire & Life Safety Consultants

Fire safety is obtained by a combination of active and passive fire protection systems. The "Passive Fire Protection System" is part of a building's overall design and construction. Fire and smoke dampers, fire doors, fire barriers and firestopping work to compartmentalize a building to help confine fire. When in proper working order, the passive fire protection system can save lives and property. 

Maintenance of the passive fire protection system is required by the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) and International Building Codes (IBC) and enforced by Authorities Having Jurisdiction (AHJ's) such as the Joint Commission, State Fire Marshals and Insurance Auditors.

This Session will look at:

·         Fire and smoke dampers

·         Fire and smoke doors

·         Fire stop installation

·         Damper/Door commissioning

Attending this session will help ensure compliance with building and fire codes and make sure your passive fire protection systems are working properly.

Note: You will need your building and Fire Codes.

(18) Risk Management and Code Enforcement, They Go Hand in Hand

Presented by:  Fire Code Academy and the North Shore Fire Department - Bayside, WI

Description being approved.

(19)  An Integrated Emergency Communications Approach -
A University Case Study

Presented by:  Rolf Jensen & Associates – Fire Protection Consultants

Recently numerous universities have begun the process of developing an Emergency Communication System.  Most universities face challenges during the development and implementation of the Emergency Management System design and installation.  The effective development of an Integrated Emergency Management System, a university should develop a strategy to assess, develop, implement and manage this process.  Our presentation will provide a case study based on a university’s approach to the development of an Integrated Emergency Management System.  The presentation will focus on the university’s strategy for development of a master plan designed to assist the university’s design and installation of the Integrated Emergency Management System.  In addition, the presentation will address some of the issues and concerns that developed during the assessment and development stages of the Integrated Emergency Management solution.

(20)  The "10" Common code compliance Misunderstandings in University Buildings

Presented by:  Rolf Jensen & Associates – Fire Protection Consultants

Presentation will cover 10 misunderstandings that are commonly encountered during the design of new buildings or the consideration of adaptive reuse of existing spaces on college campuses.  These misunderstandings may reside in a perceived design approach by the A/E/C team; in the interpretation of the authority-having-jurisdiction; and often times in how the tenant chooses to use/reuse their space.  This presentation identifies means by which the number of misunderstandings and their impact may be reduced or avoided. Specifically, the presentation focuses on building code terminology, occupancy classification, height and area limitations, requirements for barriers, means of egress, floor openings, and ramifications to existing buildings in a Life Safety Code State

_______________________________________

(21) Testing and inspection of fire, smoke and combination dampers

Presented by:  Fire Code Academy and National Energy Management Institute

We will discuss the code requirements and the proper inspecting and testing procedures for fire, smoke and combination dampers and also for inspecting and testing stairwell pressurization and smoke control systems. We found how little these systems and their components are tested. We also found that people doing the inspections were not following the procedures set forth by NFPA Standards 80, 92 and 105.
 

_______________________________________

(23) Water Based Fire Protection - An Overview of NFPA 25, Inspection, Testing, and Maintenance Of Water-Based Fire Protection Systems 

Presented by:  Fire Code Academy and National Fire Sprinkler Association

As its name specifies, the standard consolidates all the requirements for sprinkler systems and related systems such as underground piping, fire pumps, storage tanks, water spray systems, and foam water sprinkler systems. The main reason for the standard was because inadequate maintenance was one of the contributing factors for system failures. A large percentage of system failures were because of something very simple, such as the inadvertent closing of a valve for whatever reason-maybe maintenance, maybe intentionally, or maybe mistakenly.

This standard pays attention to that particular problem. It requires weekly and sometimes monthly inspections of valves to make sure that they open when they're supposed to be. NFPA 25 is referenced by of most fire codes throughout the country including the International Fire Code.

(24) State of Ohio Campus Meeting  (This is a 2 hour event)

Co-Sponsored by the Ohio Board of Regents and Campus Fire Safety.

Colleges, Universities, and Educational Campuses of Ohio get together to discuss those issues affecting their campus. Meet campus safety professions from around the State and develop networking relationships 'right next door'. Members of the fire service with colleges and universities are encouraged to attend as well.

(26) Students with Disabilities.

Presented by: The Michael H. Minger Foundation - http://www.mingerfoundation.org/

We are proud to announce a very special series of presentations dedicated to working with disabled students. We are in the planning stages of training and education relating to students with disabilities.  Part of this programming will provide guidance and assistance for campuses around the country to develop fire safety information and protocols for students with disabilities. More information to follow

The Michael H. Minger Foundation has prepared a Guide to Teaching Fire Safety to Students with Disabilities. This Guide is the work product of a team of fire safety and disabilities experts and is designed to help the fire safety educator who is experienced in teaching fire safety but may need some guidance when working with an audience of students with disabilities.

This Foundation is second to none on working with and preparing education relating to students with disabilities.

(27) NFPA 10 - Portable Fire Extinguishers - An Overview of Inspection, Testing, and Maintenance. 

Presented by: The Fire Code Academy 

What you might want to know about maintaining and using portable fire extinguishers. NFPA 10, Portable Fire Extinguishers, provides minimum requirements for the selection, placement, Inspection, and servicing of portable fire extinguishers.  

The provisions of this standard apply to the selection, installation, inspection, maintenance, and testing of portable extinguishing equipment. 

1.1.1 Portable fire extinguishers are intended as a first line of defense to cope with fires of limited size.

1.1.2 The selection and installation of extinguishers is independent of whether the building is equipped with automatic sprinklers, standpipe and hose, or other fixed protection equipment.  

NFPA 10 is referenced by of most fire codes throughout the country including the International Fire Code

(28) Large-Scale Event Emergency Planning

Presented by: Arizona State University

While the vast majority of people would likely agree with the old adage regarding bigger not always being better, there are certain instances where bigger is indeed a fundamental requirement. For example, when it comes to the planning of events, any occasion needs to be large enough for the desired number of attendees and contributed, such is simply common sense. We will address those events from graduation to hosting the Olympics and all events in between.

_______________________________________

(30) Live performance and theater – the safe approach.

 Live performance venues and production environments can be dangerous places. They contain a vast assortment of equipment, tools, chemicals, and people, which together create the play, musical, dance, or opera. Those same components can create numerous hazards, some with the potential of causing permanent personal injury to persons and property. Hazard recognition assessment and control are key to reducing and eliminating real potential hazards. We will look at those NFPA standards that govern such activities. This includes but not limited to NFPA 101, NFPA 70, NFPA 160, NFPA 705 AND NFPA 1126.

(31) Working with your property and liability insurance carrier – What are the expectations?

- Your Campus through the Eyes of Your Insurance Company -

Presented by:  Marsh Risk Consulting

The property and liability risks of institutions of education are uniquely diverse; specifically Colleges, Universities and Greek Housing.  Higher Education Risk Solutions helps ensure that colleges and universities are well prepared — whatever the risk may be. This presentation will take a look at how these companies view your facility and what is expected of you during a site visit. In addition, what you should expect from your insurance company as well

_______________________________________

(32)  NFPA 72 - National Fire Alarm Code- an overview of Inspection, Testing, and Maintenance 

Presented by: The Fire Code Academy 

National Fire Alarm Code, outlines acceptable test methods to be used when testing the fire alarm system, equipment associated with the fire alarm system, and accessory equipment. Your fire alarm system will only operate properly if it is maintained noting that impairments/problems will not be obvious without testing. NFPA 72 is referenced by of most fire codes throughout the country including the International Fire Code.

_______________________________________

(33)  Town Hall Forum - Open Discussion 

Presented by: Campus Fire Safety and the Hormann Foundation.

What colleges and universities are doing with their fire safety management plans? We will hear from different institutions on what is being done to successfully protect their campuses. Topics such as fire drills – how effective?, mandatory fire safety training for all students, mandatory fire safety training for RA’s, and unannounced fire drills.

YOU set the agenda.
