Employers are required to develop and implement a written fire prevention plan under many OSHA standards governing certain workplace activities or processes. Standards that require Fire prevention plans include; ethylene oxide, Methylenedianiline, and butadiene.
A fire prevention plan is a hazard prevention plan that ensures advanced planning for evacuations in case of fire. A written Fire prevention plan must be available to employees for review, however; employers with less than 10 employees may communicate the plan orally.
Some of the required elements of a fire prevention plan are:
A list of major workplace fire hazards and their proper handling and storage procedures
Procedures to control accumulations of flammable and combustible waste materials
Procedures for regular maintenance on heat-producing equipment
Names or job titles of those persons responsible for maintenance of equipment and systems installed
Names or job titles of those persons responsible for control of fuel source hazards
Because the workplace is subject to fires and emergencies, a fire prevention plan is among the most helpful and practical standards.
