There are an average of 100,000 commercial-related fires annually in the United States.

With such a high rate of fire incidences the United States Department of Labor has created

a list of guidelines that business owners are required to adhere to when creating a fire

prevention plan. These guidelines are to ensure maximum safety of their employees and are

enforceable by OSHA. Below are the “minimum elements” required to be included in your

business’s fire prevention plan:

  • A list of all major fire hazards, proper handling and storage procedures for hazardous materials, potential ignition sources and their control, and the type of fire protection equipment necessary to control each major hazard
  • Procedures to control accumulations of flammable and combustible waste materials
  • Procedures for regular maintenance of safeguards installed on heat-producing equipment to prevent the accidental ignition of combustible materials
  • The name or job title of employees responsible for maintaining equipment to prevent or control sources of ignition or fires
  • The name or job title of employees responsible for the control of fuel source hazards
  • An employer must inform employees upon initial assignment to a job of the fire hazards to which they are exposed. An employer must also review with each employee those parts of the fire prevention plan necessary for self-protection
