Fire And Safety

Fire safety becomes everyone’s job at a worksite. Employers should train workers about fire hazards in the workplace and about what to do in a fire emergency. This plan should outline the assignments of key personnel in the event of a fire and provide an evacuation plan for workers on the site.

In the construction industry, a “fire plan” should be set up prior to beginning any demolition job. The following references aid in recognizing and evaluating hazards and possible solutions in the workplace.

Fire safety includes the following

• Ensuring adherence to local building codes
• Ensuring the provisions of fire codes (exists, stairs, markings and signage etc.) are followed
• Compliance with electrical safety codes
• Fire risk assessments when a building, equipment, or process is modified
• Proper stowage of flammable and hazardous materials
• Installation of fire detection and automatic or semi-automatic fire alarm systems
• Arrangement of correct types of operational fire extinguishers and hydrants
• Training users in fire extinguishers, fire alarm, emergency evacuation and assembly procedures
• Conducting fire drills regularly by coordinating with the local fire department
