Overview: This course is intended as an overview of fire safety, including emergency action plans and fire extinguishers.
In 2007, the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) reported that there were 1,557,500 fires in the US, causing 3,430 civilian deaths and $14.6 billion in property
damage. In addition, according to the US Bureau of Labor Statistics for 2007, an estimated 151 people lost their lives on the job due to fire related incidents. Nearly every
year, there are large and deadly incidents involving fire.
An emergency action plan (EAP) is a written document required by particular OSHA standards 29 CFR 1910.38(a). The purpose of an EAP is to facilitate and organize
employer and employee actions during workplace emergencies. Well developed emergency plans and proper employee training (such that employees understand their roles
and responsibilities within the plan) will result in fewer and less severe employee injuries and less structural damage to the facility during emergencies.
The course also covers OSHA 29 CFR 1910.157(g) requirements related to the understanding of portable fire extinguishers, including inspection, maintenance, testing, and
use.
