Some of the safety hazards that are listed in Chapter 7 Fire Prevention would be electrical fires, flammable liquids, poor housekeeping, ingestion,
incorrect use of fire extinguishers, bleeding, choking, and forklifts. There are many dangers in the work we engage in every day but its rewarding if
we follow the right safety rules. These are some of the safety hazards but there are many more that are not listed. The ones listed are the ones I feel
most important in the workplace. These are listed in Chapter 7 because they are potential hazards for the following reasons: electrical fires are caused
by defective wiring or overloading a...show more content...
A fire prevention plan is mandatory for most businesses because it can save lives as it provides essential rules to follow in case of an emergency. A fire
prevention plan must be in writing, be kept in workplace and made available for employees to review. A fire prevention plan must include: a list of all
major fire hazard, proper handling and storage procedures for hazardous materials, potential ignition sources and their control and type of fire
prevention necessary to control each hazard. Also it should list the name of employees responsible for maintaining equipment to prevent or control
sources of ignition of fires. Proper route of escape toward nearest exit is also something to keep in mind. Elevators are off limits because if a fire is
burning it could burn up some important wires to the elevator and you would not want to be caught in an elevator.
In conclusion I can use all of this research I have learned in my personal work places in the future. Now that I know all of the safety measures I
will enforce them at the workplace. Safety saves employers money, improves productivity, and reduces legal costs. I am not in the field yet but I
know about all of the safety measures that are needed to know so when I do step into the field I will be overly prepared. I hear about a lot of people
and there accidents and what they could have done to prevent the incursion.

Fire Safety Essay
After a recent fire at Seton Hall University in South Orange, NJ killed three students who did not respond to what they thought was a false alarm,
officials at Oswego State University are being especially careful when it comes to the issue of fire safety. This semester there is a new policy
regarding the confiscation of items considered being hazardous. The policy states that any items that are found and have the potential to cause a fire,
such as candles, incense, and certain appliances like microwaves, and sandwich makers, will be confiscated and not returned to the students they were
taken from. Under the old policy students were able to get the items back at the end of the year. Around...show more content...
For the students who purposely ignore
them, it is not the job of their resident advisors to check the rooms for those left inside. For students who are either hearing impaired or heavy sleepers
there are strobe lights available for their alarms.
Residence Hall Fire Safety is a serious issue because of the population and potential for injury and loss that could occur as a result of a fire. In
Oswego State University there are fire safety rules in which every student is expected to know and follow. Each residence hall conducts periodic
fire drills so that residents can learn the proper evacuation procedures and escape routes. Failure to do so is a violation of residence hall rules and can
result in disciplinary action. The procedures and routes are posted on the inside of each door in resident hall rooms and throughout the building. All
students should know the location of all the exits on their floor and how to reach them in case of darkness.
Every hall is equipped with heat and smoke sensors, fire extinguishers and fire alarms. When a student moves into a residence hall they should
familiarize themselves with the location of this equipment. Tampering with any of the fire protection equipment is prohibited. Intentional activation of
alarm systems for any reason other than to report a fire is strictly prohibited.

Bureau of Fire Protection Essay

PERFORMANCE OF THE
BUREAU OF FIRE PROTECTION (BFP):
CONTRIBUTIONS TO FIRE MANAGEMENT
A proposal submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for PA 199.2

Adviser:
Vicente Mariano
September 27, 2011
I. Introduction Fires are one of the few calamities of which we can prevent. Besides the efforts of the Bureau of Fire Protection (BFP), and the passing
of the Revised Fire Code or RA 9514 in 2008, fires are still one of the leading man–made disasters in the Philippines. In 2011, there had already been
several fires like the incident last February 7 which left 3000...show more content...
The new Fire Code also contains provisions of administrative sanctions that can be given to BFP personnel who are not properly implementing their
jobs (Dollente, 2011).
"Fire" is defined as a "rapid burning of a combustible material with the evolution of heat and usually accompanied by flame, and is used by human
beings. Uncontrolled fire remains to be one of the major causes of death and property damage in today's society. Fires do happen on a frequent basis in
industry and other arenas" (Schneid, 2000:9). Schneid talks mainly on preparedness when these incidents happen and some strategies about other
disasters as well.
March is the Fire Prevention Month in the Philippines. The BFP announced several fire safety precautions to help manage fires. Despite these
precautions, the BFP stated that most establishments, notably in Baguio City, are fire safety violators. In relation to this, there have been a series of
fires here in Metro Manila, notable of which was the fire that engulfed the houses in Agham Road last February (Dar, 2011). The problem of fire
during these months seems to occur every year.
