Any malfunctioning alarms and emergency lights or damage to fire equipment in the main building must be reported to the Hall and Studium Secretary or one of the Moderators.

Smoking and the use of candles, fairy-lights, incense, joss sticks or naked flames in any room of the Hall or Studium are strictly prohibited.

It is an offence to store flammable or explosive substances in any building used by the Hall or Studium.
