The College recommends only one appliance per outlet. If an extension cord is needed, use heavy duty extension cords. Use them in a manner that will not create a fire hazard, i.e. running them under carpet, overloading outlets. Splicing of electrical wires or removal of any outlet plates or light switches is prohibited. Fire code does not allow for the storage of empty boxes in storage rooms.
