The University of Hartford is committed to providing a safe and healthful environment.
Improper usage of space heaters poses serious fire and safety risks to the UHart community. All space heaters require a permit for use. The office of the Fire Marshal and our local fire departments have recently communicated reminders about compliance on space heaters and other prohibited items. Unapproved space heaters are strictly prohibited.
In residential units, space heaters may only be used temporarily, with restrictions on the duration of use. Space heaters are prohibited in laboratories, workshops, art studios, storage areas, or any space where chemicals or combustible materials are present, as well as any space not actively occupied by people.
If you think you may need a space heater for a particular area, submit a work order to Facilities by clicking below. Thank you for your cooperation in keeping UHart facilities safe for everyone.
