26 26 of Policy on Use of Portable Indoor Space Heaters Use of Portable Indoor Space Heaters Door County buildings are operated under the Door County Buildings and Grounds Department, with oversight from the Door County Property Committee. The use of indoor space heaters is strictly limited due to risk of fire and concerns for energy consumption. This policy and the use of indoor space heaters is monitored by the Building and Grounds Director and County Administrator and shall apply to all Door County personnel and Building structures. Definitions Space Heater: A space heater is a self-contained device for heating an enclosed area. Scope This policy applies to the use of portable space heaters in an indoor setting (offices, workshops, etc.) within County buildings or other buildings occupied by County employees or contracted workers. This policy is meant to outline the minimum requirement for use of portable indoor space heaters. Individual Department Heads may use a departmental policy that meets the minimum requirement of this policy, and may set more stringent requirements. The local fire inspector may further restrict use of portable indoor space heaters per local fire code or ordinance. This policy does not apply to the following: The temporary use of portable heaters for construction, outdoor settings, or industrial/research support applications is outside the scope of this policy. Use in these circumstances should be governed by the work hazard planning process in place for the department. Non-portable area heaters that are wired or plumbed into the building utilities by the maintenance department or included in building construction are not covered under this policy. Heated footrests or heated floor mats of 200W or lower power are not considered space heaters under this policy. Limited use approval Appropriate adjustment of the building heating system should always be the preferred option for meeting the heating needs for employees, and guests in County buildings. When this is infeasible, Department Heads can authorize use and purchase with concurrence of the Building and Grounds Director to approve the use of certain space heaters in limited situations, such as where target temperatures cannot be maintained, for specific health needs, or for other extenuating circumstances. Under limited use approval, the selection and use of the space heater should follow the criteria in the Safety and use requirements for space heaters section, below. Target temperature not maintained

27 27 of 35 If the central building heat system is unable to maintain a target work temperature, it may be determined that it is necessary to allow a space heater for temporary, supplemental heat until the comfort can be permanently resolved. Specific health needs The reason for the exemption should be documented. For example, if the need for using a heater is due to a medical reason, a document from a medical provider should be provided to Human Resources, who will in turn convey the justification to the Building and Grounds Director; no personal medical information will be shared. Other extenuating circumstances The Building and Grounds Director shall have the authority to handle other circumstances that may require the temporary use of portable indoor space heaters. Safety and use requirements for space heaters It is essential to ensure the safe and responsible use of the portable space heater in order to reduce the risk of fire danger. In the event an exemption is granted, only space heaters meeting the following criteria are permitted: Product design Electrically powered The heater must be electrically powered and designated as approved with a nationally recognized testing laboratory [common marks include Underwriters Laboratories (UL) or FM Global Technologies (FM)]. Other nationally recognized testing laboratories may certify these products; see for more information. Liquid-fuel (propane, kerosene) space heaters are NOT permitted. Thermostat The space heater must have a thermostat for heat regulation. Heaters without thermostats (e.g., simple on/off or high/low switches) are not permitted. Tip-over protection Space heaters must have a tip-over shutdown feature. If the heater is knocked over, the unit must automatically shut off. Overheat protection Space heaters must have overheat protection, which will automatically shut the unit off if there is an overheat situation. Operating requirements Approved space heaters may be used only if the following conditions are met: Placement The heater may only be located on the floor. Heaters located on filing cabinets, tables, desks or other surfaces are more susceptible to being knocked over, resulting in accidents or fires.

28 28 of 35 Heaters may only be placed on circuits sufficiently capable of handling the amperage draw of the heater and other equipment on the circuit. Building and Grounds Director may set limitations on approved heaters. Heaters may not be used in areas where flammable liquids are in use or stored. Employee-owned space heaters are not allowed. All space heaters shall be tagged by the Maintenance Department when placed into service and checked annually for operation. Keep the heater away from water and out of damp locations. Maintain minimum clearances as specified by the manufacturer. Combustible or flammable materials must be kept away from the heater. Check for Inspect the heater for broken or damaged parts. Never operate a heater you suspect is damaged. During use, check frequently to determine if the heater lug or cord, wall outlet, or faceplate is hot. If the plug, outlet, or faceplate is hot, discontinue use of the heater, and have a qualified electrician check and/or replace the plug or faulty wall outlet(s). If the cord is hot, disconnect the heater, and have it inspected/repaired by an authorized repair person. Power cord Heaters must be plugged directly into wall receptacle. Use of extension cords or power strips is not allowed. Electrical cords must be kept out of foot traffic paths to prevent tripping. Never run the heater s cord under doors, rugs, or carpeting. This can damage the cord, causing it and nearby objects to burn. Other The heater must be turned off any time the room or area being heated is unoccupied, especially at the end of the workday. Other Applicable policy information In 2006, the University Of Wisconsin Department Of Administration issued the State of Wisconsin Energy-Use Policy. Two items in the policy pertain to use of portable indoor space heaters. 1. Work are target temperatures are dictated by winter thermostat setting (68F while open for business, 60F during unoccupied hours) 2. The policy seeks to eliminate the use of space heaters.
