Fire prevention

Conduct quarterly fire inspections for each hre zone. Accomplish the following  

Conduct quarterly fire inspections with an emphasis on the following  

Buildings must contain a fire alarm or fire detection system that should automatically activate an alarm in the event of a fire. Install air conditioning, ducts, and any related equipment in accordance with NFPA 90A, Standard for Installation of Air Conditioning and Ventilating Systems. Ensure people can hear fire alarms over normal operational noise levels. Locate manual fire alarm stations near each exit. Inspect fire extinguishers at least monthly and ensure regular maintenance. Test fire alarm/detection systems once a quarter. Publish and enforce a Smoking Policy. Implement appropriate electrical safety policies and educate aU personnel about fire safety and response plans.

Hot Work. The objective of a hot work standard is to prevent fires, explosions, and other causes of injury which might result from workplace ignition sources such as welding (qv), cutting, grinding, and use of electrically powered tools. The OSHA standards have specific requirements (36,94) for fire prevention and protection and a permit system.

The employer issues a hot work permit for hot work operations conducted on or near a covered process. The permit documents that the fire prevention and protection requirements in 29 CFR 1910.252(a) have been implemented prior to beginning the hot work operations it indicates the date(s) authorized for hot work and identifies the object on which hot work is performed. The permit is kept on file until completion of the hot work operations. 

Research is conducted to increase understanding of the science of combustion specifically as it relates to fires involving homes and plastics, wood, and large-scale spills. This is helpful in the development of fire prevention and extinction techniques. 

Emergency exits These doors should be identified and the local fire prevention officer consulted before any key-operated locks is fitted. 

The actual design of a smoke-ventilation system is very complex, and although much published guidance is available it should be left to experts, and a fire-prevention officer should approve the design. 

Smoke ventilation is not intended to replace other forms of fire prevention and control but to work as an important component in an overall scheme. 

Items requiring replacement because of changes in the law (for example, those relating to fire prevention, safety measures for the protection of employees and public).

Preventive measures are those activities aimed at reducing the frequency of event occurrence. In the case of process plant explosions and fires, preventive measures will have additional benefits, including reduction in risk to the process plant equipment, and reduced property damage and business interruption costs.
