by providing a comprehensive, integrated approach to fire code regulation and hazard management.

National Fire Protection Agency 5000 or NFPA 5000

It is an essential tool to preserve public health and safety that provides safeguards from hazards
associated with the built environment. It addresses design and installation of innovative materials that
meet or exceed public health and safety goals.

International Fire Code

The International Fire Code (IFC) is a set of provisions designed to address life and property hazards
associated with buildings and related premises. It is primarily focused on fire prevention and fire
protection, and it is generally concerned with addressing potential harm from fires, explosions,
hazardous materials, and unsafe use or occupancy of buildings and premises.

Improper Waste Disposal

While working, it can be easier to throw construction waste and

debris into a pile that you plan to clean up later. However, a pile
of debris is a great source of fuel for a fire. Make sure that when
you are working you immediately put all waste into the proper
garbage disposal or dumpster. Also, be sure that dumpsters and
garbage cans are a safe distance away from heat sources.
RESPONSIBILITY ON SITE
Employer Fire Safety Responsibilities

In order to fulfill your obligations related to fire safety, you have a right to the cooperation of your staff. Additionally, you have a
right to expect staff members to exercise reasonable care for both their own safety and the safety of those whom their actions
may influence.
You must take reasonable steps to protect your employees from fire-related harm at work and safeguard their safety as well as
the safety of anybody else present or nearby. This obligation must be met as much as is practically practical.
Regarding any dangers identified and the fire safety measures offered, you must give clear, pertinent information and instruction
(and training, if applicable) to your employees and anyone else operating on your property, such as contractors and their
employer(s).
It is your responsibility to maintain the property in excellent condition as well as any fire safety facilities, apparatus, and devices.
RESPONSIBILITY ON SITE
Employee Fire Safety Responsibilities

You are entitled to reasonable understanding (and training, if required) of any dangers found on the property, the fire safety
precautions put in place, and what to do in the case of a fire.

You must take reasonable caution to keep the workplace safe from fire damage and refrain from taking any actions that could
endanger you or others.

You are required to notify your employer (or a coworker with specific fire safety responsibilities) of anything that could create a
serious and immediate fire safety risk on the premises, anything that you rationally suspect to be an issue with the employer's fire
safety protection measures, or in the event of a fire.

In order for your employer to fulfill their fire safety obligations, you must cooperate with them as much as is required.
FIRE ACCIDENT: EMERGENCY PROCEDURES
An emergency response plan shall be developed and implemented to handle anticipated onsite
emergencies prior to the commencement of hazardous waste operations. Emergency response
activities to all other hazardous waste operations shall follow an emergency response plan meeting the
requirements of this section.

The employer shall develop an emergency response plan for on-site and offsite emergencies,
which shall address, as a minimum, the following:

Pre-emergency planning;
Personnel roles, lines of authority, training, and communication;
Emergency recognition and prevention;
Safe distances and places of refuge;
Site security and control; Evacuation routes and procedures;
Decontamination;
Emergency medical treatment and first aid;
Emergency alerting and response procedures;
Critique of response and follow up; and
Personal protective equipment (PPE) and emergency equipment.
CONSTRUCTION SITE
FIRE SAFETY TIPS

Strictly enforcing no smoking policy.

Substitute flammable building materials with flame retardant products
wherever possible.
Store combustible materials away from buildings that are under
construction.
Properly train workers on safe work practices.
Place fire extinguishers at individual work areas.
Ensure that all electrical work complies with all applicable fire and
building codes.
TAKING APPROPRIATE
SECURITY MEASURES

Arson can be avoided with adequate security. Consider

installing perimeter fencing around the site, equipments
and material storage areas.
FIRE RISK ASSESSMENT
1. Identify Fire Hazards
Fire starts when a source of ignition comes into contact with fuel
and oxygen. How could a fire start?

2. Identify People at Risk

Everyone is at risk if there is a fire. Every individual located in the
event of a fire are exposed to high risks.
FIRE RISK ASSESSMENT
3. Prevent, Protect and Evaluate
What are the risks of a fire starting, and what are the risks to people
in the building and nearby?

4. Record, Plan and Train

Keep a record of any fire hazards and what you have done to reduce
and remove them. It is necessary to train workers and other staffs
for their roles in case a fire occur.
FIRE RISK ASSESSMENT

5. Review

Keep your risk assessment under regular review. Risks may change
over time.
