Fire Prevention Strategies
A fire protection plan must be written, kept in the workplace, and made available for employee examination. However, an organization with ten or fewer employees may disclose the strategy to them orally. Additionally, a fire prevention plan must include the following:- A list of all main fire hazards; safe handling and storage techniques for hazardous items; potential ignition sources and their control; and the type of fire protection equipment required to handle each major hazard.
- Procedures for controlling accumulations of flammable and combustible waste materials.
- Procedures for routine maintenance of safeguards installed on heat-producing equipment to avoid the unintentional igniting of flammable materials.
- The name or title of employees in charge of maintaining equipment to prevent or control sources of ignition or fires.
- Employees in charge of addressing fuel source hazards are identifiable by their names or job descriptions.
