Fire Prevention

Each year injuries, deaths and business losses result from fires. Such injuries and losses are avoidable by being prepared for emergencies. But emergency preparations are only as good as the people who administer the fire prevention programs.

These topics are designed to evaluate fire prevention controls against large and small fires and include actions workers must take in the event of an evacuation. Many other references include good housekeeping rules, together with the maintenance and operation of fire protection equipment.

Management must always be responsible and accountable for life and safety. Nothing must be left to chance on the assumption it is adequately covered.

LEARN THE CORRECT *P*A*S*S* WORD

Fire precautions before a crisis occurs are preferable to a lot of fixing up afterward. Our suggested list of precautionary measures may not trigger the same excitement as an actual fire, but please remember, should a fire occur employees must know how to effectively use fire extinguishers.
It's all here

Know the PASS Word

 

Don't Play Hide and Seek.

If a fire starts at your workplace, follow evacuation procedures to the letter. Evacuation measures have been carefully developed to keep people safe. So, if you are not directly involved with fighting the fire, MOVE OUT. Besides emphasising this rule, the Outline highlights fire prevention measures, together with an overview of fire-fighting equipment and its uses.

Prevention is better than cure. Fire safety depends on everyone.

This seemingly simple outline will educate employees about the dangers of fires and at the same time offer personal safety strategies.

 While the “Prevention is Better than Cure” catch phrase is the focus, a myriad of reasons showing how workplace fires start is included together with fire fighting system intelligence.

This starter is a MUST.
FIRE SAFETY – AT WORK AND AT HOME

Discussing fire safety rules in an employee’s home is the opening gambit. But it then asks how many of these rules relate to the workplace?

This fascinating approach will have every worker’s attention as it banks on the proposition that if you carry your family’s home safety rules to the workplace, everyone WINS.

USE IT!!
Watch out for heat – it doesn’t need to be visible to burn you.

This is a natural extension to fire prevention information.

Many surprises are contained here, not only about how heat causes injuries but knowledge on a wide variety of other hazardous sources, such as steam, electricity and corrosives.

It also contains protection tips against burn hazards and how to apply “first aid” treatment for burns.

Know how to use a fire extinguisher, Follow the P*A*S*S* word.

By all means take advantage of the numerous housekeeping rules and tips incorporated here but keep your eye on the acronym P*A*S*S*.

If you have never used a fire extinguisher in your life just P*ull the pin, A*im, S*hoot and S*weep.  With any luck, the fire is out.

Explain “this secret” to your employees!


In case of fire, Move Out!

While fighting small fires is covered, the major emphasis here is on Emergency Responses and Evacuation.

Explicit safety instructions demand employees MOVE OUT.

However, careful study of this detailed information will help workers know how to respond to alarms, evacuation route locations and the assembly check-off procedures needed to account for everybody.

Your first defense against fire – prevention and being prepared.

Have employees review workplace habits, and then match them against the extensive list of fire prevention measures included here.

Not every measure applies, but matching enough should prove if your workplace is prepared against fires.

Fires are never really an accident; they usually result from bad housekeeping.

We itemize how NOT to get caught!

Everyone should know the P*A*S*S* word.

There are different ways to fight small fires before they quickly become big fires.

This topic illustrates that knowledge about the various fire extinguisher categories A, B, C and D really helps.

 “C” is only for electrical fires.  Have employees learn about the others too.

Don’t gamble. Like Boy Scouts, “Be Prepared”.
Fires burn up jobs.

Losing a job or suffering an injury through fire could hit hard in the pocketbook.

Why are a company’s fire prevention measures only as good as the people who administer them?

Read here and make sure your team never causes an accidental fire. Then have your employees take another in-depth look at fire prevention.
