FIRE PREVENTION PLAN
• While the hope is that a fire never happens, OSHA requires
employers to have a fire prevention plan in place. The purpose
of a fire prevention plan is to prevent a fire from occurring in a
workplace.
• The plan helps ensure the safety of workers and property.
• An employer must inform employees upon initial assignment to
a job of the fire hazards to which they are exposed. An employer
must also review with each employee those parts of the fire
prevention plan necessary for self-protection.
• If an employer has 10 or fewer employees, they may
communicate the plan orally to employees.
FIRE PREVENTION PLAN
• A plan describes all the major fire hazards at the workplace that
could initiate or contribute to the spread of a fire.
• A Plan includes,
 Proper handling, storage, and control procedures
 Building systems and equipment in place to control ignitions
or fires
 Who is responsible controlling hazards and maintaining
control systems
 Training required for all employees who have
responsibilities in the plan
FIRE HAZARDS
• It is important for you to follow day-by-day practices to avoid and
control fire hazards. This includes,
 Clean up spills of flammable or combustible liquids promptly.
 Dispose of combustible scrap, debris and waste materials
safely in covered metal receptacles. Remove the waste from
the worksite promptly.
 Practice safe storage requirements for flammable and
combustible liquids and hazardous materials.
 Do not smoke near flammable or combustible liquids.
 If you smoke, before you throw away butts and ashes, make
sure they are out.
FIRE HAZARDS
• Do not create situations that could create problems should a fire
occur follows,
 Do not obstruct fire doors and shutters.
 Do not block or obstruct the path to a fire extinguisher.
 Never prop open emergency doors. Fire doors keep fire from
spreading.
 Keep a proper clearance available below fire sprinkler heads
at all times.
 Be wise about the use of electrical cords. Be certain you are
not creating a tripping hazard by making sure they are not
running across doorways or walkways.
FIRE PROTECTION
• No employee will be permitted to use an extinguisher without
having been fully trained.
• Fire extinguishers will be stored at a distance no greater than 10
feet from torch users.
• A fire extinguisher, rated not less than 10B, will be provided
within 50 feet of the location where more than 5 gallons of
flammable or combustible liquids or 5 pounds of a flammable
gas are used on a job site.
• A fire watch will be posted for two hours after work has
concluded for torch-applied roof systems.
HANDLING FLAMMABLE GASES
• LPG cylinders will be placed on a firm foundation and secured in
an upright position.
• All LPG cylinders will be equipped with valve-protection
devices.
• LPG cylinders will not be stored closer than 10 feet to the kettle.
• LPG cylinders will be placed away from vehicular traffic.
• LPG cylinders will not be stored inside buildings.
• Acetylene bottles will be stored in the upright position and
secured.
ELECTRICITY PASSIVATION
• If too many devices are plugged into a circuit, the current will
heat the wires to a very high temperature, which may cause a fire.
• If the wire insulation melts, arcing may occur and cause a fire in
the area where the overload exists, even inside a wall.
PREVENTION
• Ways of protecting workers and preventing electrical
hazards are,
Insulation
Grounding
Electrical protective devices (GFCI)
Safe work practices
INSULATION
• Check insulation prior to using cables,
tools, or equipment.
• Remove from service any tools or
equipment with damaged insulation.
GROUNDING
• Grounding creates a low-resistance path from a tool to the earth
to disperse unwanted current.
• When a short or lightning occurs, energy flows to the ground,
protecting you from electrical shock, injury and death.
ELECTRICAL PROTECTIVE DEVICES
• Limit or stop flow of current automatically in the event of
ground fault, over load or short circuit
• Fuses
• Circuit breakers
• Ground fault interrupters
• Arc fault interrupters
SAFE WORK PRACTICES
• Enclosing electrical equipment
• Conspicuous signs
• Danger caution
• De energizing electrical equipment before inspection & repair
• Use appropriate protective equipment
• Keeping electrical tools properly maintained
