… Dryer Vent Safety
CCI Chapters Sharing
For safety sake, this is a project that is recommended to be organized in com- munities. If this is something that your corpora- tion does not do, but the board would entertain it, it is important that this program be placed in the rules so that owners are aware that it will be done, how often and their responsibility to the cost and then poses no problem for the corporation as to collecting that cost. Notification of this change to rules must be sent out to owners. Visit the Ontario Fire Marshal and Emergency Management – Clothes Dryer Safety Tips Especially: WHAT NOT TO DO? • Overload the dryer • Exhaust the dryer indoors
Dry materials or fabrics that have been saturated by chemicals, oils or gasoline (e.g. mops and towels and cloths saturated with wax, flammable solvents or vegetable oils). Even after washing, these substances can start a fire during the drying cycle. Dry natural or synthetic rubber, rubber-coated sneakers, galoshes, foam pillows or any garment with foam padding (e.g., blouses with shoulder pads, bras, bicycle shorts) Dry garments that have been cleaned with dry-cleaning fluid Use a dryer without a lint filter, or with a lint filter that is loose, dam- aged or clogged.
