All electrical lights used for holiday decorating must first be inspected and tagged by the KUSM-W Safety Officer or his designee, to ensure the wiring is in good condition and meets all UL requirements. All holiday lights will be unplugged after-hours.

Any department wishing to use electrical holiday lights must first complete and submit a Holiday Lights Request Form to the KUSM-W Safety Officer. The request must list ALL holiday lights that will be used within the department. All departmental lights must be inspected and tagged by the KUMS-W Safety Officer or designee and a signed copy of the request form will be returned to the department, thereby authorizing the use of the inspected/tagged lights. The KUSM-W Safety Officer will perform a follow-up inspection of the lights within the department. Departments must unplug the lights after-hours. KUSM-W Safety & Security Officers will have a list of departments that are authorized to use holiday lights and will make rounds after-hours to ensure all lights are unplugged.

Multi-plug adaptors, ground plug adaptors, extension cords and timers will not be permitted in conjunction with holiday lights. Power strips with a circuit breaker may be used, but no more than one per outlet.
