OSHA requires organizations to have a Fire Prevention Plan
in certain situations that works in conjunction with an organization's Emergency Action
Plan. Its purpose is to identify hazards in the workplace that could
potentially cause a fire and define a procedure to prevent an incident. An
example would be the proper storage, dispensing, use, and training in relation to the safe handling of flammable chemicals. Depending on the type of hazards that are
identified, there may be other OSHA standards and regulations that are
relevant.
Fire Prevention Plans are location specific and
developed by each department or agency within the county.
To get more information on the applicability of this program
for a specific County operation please contact the corresponding departmental
Safety Coordinator.
