Fire Safety Plan

Purpose:

The purpose of the Fire Safety Plan is to prevent potential injuries and deaths, and to protect the Company's property from damage or loss due to fire. This plan includes fire prevention, building exits, fire extinguishing, emergency evacuation, and employee training.

This plan will be reviewed with all new employees when they begin their job and with all employees when the plan is changed.

Fire Prevention:

Our first line of defense against fire is to prevent it in the first place. It is the responsibility of all employees to prevent fires. All employees will be appraised of the potential fire hazards in their work area and will be trained in safe work procedures and practices. Employees are expected to follow proper procedures to prevent fires and to notify their supervisor or other management personnel if they observe any condition that could lead to the ignition of a fire or could increase the spread of a fire.

The following are some general fire prevention practices and procedures that will be followed:

• All ignition sources (i.e., open flames, cutting torches, spark producing equipment, electric motors, heating equipment, etc.) will be controlled. All contact of ignition sources with combustible and flammable materials will be avoided. All employees will keep all combustible materials at least five feet from such ignition sources and all flammable liquids at least twenty feet away.

• Extensive use of electrical extension cords should be avoided. Any damaged or frayed electrical wiring, equipment cords, extension cords, etc. will be removed from service immediately and replaced or repaired.

• Any use of flammable liquids will be done in a manner that prevents spills, and prevents the flammable liquid or its vapor or spray from coming into contact with any ignition source. All flammable liquids will be stored in proper flammable liquid storage containers and kept in the proper storage cabinets.

• Housekeeping and storage practices are critical to preventing fires. Any combustible materials will be stored in neat stacks with adequate aisle space provided to prevent the easy spread of fire and to allow for access to extinguish any fire that may start. Trash, scrap, and other unnecessary combustibles must be cleaned up immediately and placed in proper disposal containers.

• Smoking is restricted to designated areas.

Company Fire Exits:

• Each area of the building/work site has at least two means of escape and are to be used in a fire emergency. The location of exits and the path of egress (escape) will be shown on maps (and posted throughout the building as necessary).

• Fire exit doors will not be blocked or locked during business hours in order to prevent their emergency use (when employees are within the building).

• Exit routes from the work site will be clear and free of obstructions. All exits are marked with signs designating exits from the premises.
