  • Campus Fire Safety Officer

    Long Island University 4.6company rating

    Security guard job in Brookville, NY

    The goal of the Campus Fire Safety Officer is to keep lives and property safe from the perils of fire. We ensure this safety in a multi-pronged approach which includes Education, Inspection, Cooperation and Correction. Education-All Staff, Faculty and students receive fire safety education on a regular basis. More formal would be the annual training for Public Safety and kitchen personnel, less formal would be the fire safety tips and facts given at every fire drill. These drills are performed 4X per year. Additional fire safety training is scheduled upon request. Inspections-The FSO does routine fire safety inspections of all buildings and campus locations. Additionally, the FSO schedules and coordinates inspections with NY State Fire and the Nassau County Fire Marshals office. These inspections take place 3 to 4 times per year and include fire, building, property safety codes in addition to emergency lighting tests. Additionally, it is the responsibility of the FSO to notify both agencies of required reportable incidents and any fires on campus. Cooperation-Keeping the campus safe is done through the cooperation of many. The FSO ensures all departments at the University and outside contractors/vendors work cohesively to ensure a fire safe campus. This cooperation is paramount to keeping our campus and the first responders who protect us safe. The FSO acts as a liaison between our local fire companies- duties here include limiting the number of false fire alarm activations which strain the volunteer resources and coordinating trainings and drills on campus when requested. Corrective Action-When situations arise in the fire safety realm that are unacceptable, the FSO ensures they are corrected. This is mainly done by coordinating with facilities services and outside fire safety contractors to correct any reported violations. Proactive measures include ensuring our fire safety contractors are complying with required codes ie: sprinkler, extinguisher, fire alarms, AES systems. Most fire safety violations lie here and within the student housing department. The LIU Post Fire Safety Officer reports directly to the LIU Director of Public Safety LIU is an equal opportunity employer. LIU is committed to extending equal opportunity in employment to all qualified candidates who can contribute to the diversity and excellence of our academic community.
