Fire Safety

Emergency Action Plan

Medical and First Aid

An employer must have a fire prevention strategy when an OSHA standard is required. According to

OSHA the requirements must be in writing, be kept in the office or work area, and be made accessible to

employees for review. Unless the company has ten or less employees they can then communicate that

orally to their employees. A fire prevention plan must include:

• A list of all key fire hazards, appropriate handling and storage procedures for hazardous materials,

possible ignition sources and their control, and the type of fire protection equipment essential to control

each major threat.

An emergency action plan (EAP) is a written document mandatory by OSHA

standards. The purpose of an EAP is to assist and organize establishment and

employee actions during workplace disasters. Well-developed emergency plans

and appropriate employee training where employees comprehend their roles and

responsibilities will surely result in less employee injuries and less organizational

destruction to the facility during emergencies. A below par plan will result in a

disorganized evacuation or emergency response, resulting in confusion, injury,

and property damage.

Hazard communication safety and health standard is projected to address

systematically the issue of classifying the probable hazards of chemicals, and

communicating data regarding hazards and appropriate protective methods to

employees. Employers shall make sure that labels on incoming containers of

hazardous chemicals are not detached or defaced by any means. Also, employers

shall uphold any safety data sheets that are received with arriving shipments of

dangerous chemicals, and guarantee that they are readily available during each

work shift to research laboratory employees when they are in their work areas.

How well you follow standard safety procedures can affect the company’s

bottom line both directly and indirectly. Companies are obviously aiming to

make a profit, but you run the risk of affecting this profit when rules are not

followed. Great safety programs result in reduced workers’ comp claims,

insurance costs, and legal fees. These are indirect expenses. They also reduce the

risk of incidents happening on-site, which means there’s a reduced chance of

losing manpower or productivity due to the investigation of on-site accidents.

These are direct expenses. Home Depot

The conclusion of the training would be that employees are now

educated on safety and what is expected of them. The employees

would be able to gain more insights about the importance of safety

which would enhance their willingness to work together to inspire a

safer workplace. The feedback would provide essential

information in order to improve the next training event.
