Escape routes and exits must be kept clear in accordance with the fire regulations. Special attention is drawn to the fact that the doors that close off fire and smoke compartments must not be fixed open so that their closing function as fire doors is not impaired. At this point, explicit reference is made to the fire safety regulations and information on "Behaviour in case of fire".

For the disposal of waste of all kinds, the containers provided must be used. Any depositing of waste in other places (including next to the waste containers) is prohibited. Bulky waste must be removed from the premises by the owner.
FH OÖ Studienbetriebs GmbH is a member of the Climate Protection Alliance. Waste separation is therefore taken particularly seriously at the Faculty of Business and Management Steyr. In the teaching rooms (lecture halls, seminar rooms, IT rooms) and in the foyers and corridors of the campus buildings, appropriate waste separation systems have been installed to separate the waste produced into three colour-coded categories (paper, plastic/metal and general other waste) in a climate-friendly and environmentally friendly manner. No solid objects (leftovers, etc.) may be thrown into the drains in the sanitary facilities. Furthermore, the emptying of liquids that may cause blockage or contamination of the drains is prohibited. The generally accessible
terraces, staircases, stairways, parking spaces and other outdoor areas are used jointly by their users and as such are to be treated with care. Here, too, the utmost cleanliness is to be observed, since it is the communal areas that create an overall impression of the complex. Every user is required to make a contribution to this.

8. Clearance of Snow

The clearance of snow is organised by the Faculty of Business and Management, Steyr. All users must ensure that no obstruction of the access paths and roads or hindrance of the snow clearance process occurs.
