Decorations are a source of joy for occupants of offices, laboratories, and other facilities. We are providing fire safety guidance on the use of these decorations. Do not place decorations on or near sprinkler heads. Cut Christmas trees can be extremely flammable if dry. Therefore, all natural decorations used indoors should be treated with a fire retardant.
Artificial trees pose no fire hazard.
Observe caution when using electrical lighting. Remember to turn off all decorative lights when leaving for the day. Candles and other open-flame decorations on or near natural trees are fire hazards. In general, any candle use is discouraged. Decorations should be used no earlier than the first week of December and should be removed no later than the first week in January.
