Holiday Safety Tips

Regulations for Decorations and Public Events

Updated December 2001

Live Christmas Trees

  • Anyone wishing to set up a live Christmas tree in any campus building must first check with the EHS office (4-7241). EHS will determine whether a live tree can be used and where it will be located.
  • Live trees shall be placed in a bucket of sand and watered daily.
  • Live trees will be inspected on a twice-weekly basis by EHS. A tree will be removed if there is evidence of excessive needle loss.
  • All decorative lights (whether or not they are on a tree) shall be turned off before leaving for the night.
  • No live garlands are allowed in the corridors of any campus building.
  • All live trees shall be removed from the building before leaving for Christmas break.

Happy Holidays!
