 STEP 1: DEVELOP A STATEMENT OF INTENT
 STEP 2 : DEVELOP FIRE SAFETY TASK FORCE
COMMITTEE
 STEP 3 : ASSESS ALL FIRE HAZARDS SUCH AS
MATERIAL, PROCEDURES AND BUILDING DESIGN
 STEP 4 : IDENTIFY FIRE HAZARD CONTROLS
(PROCEDURE, ACTIVE SYSTEM, PASSIVE SYSTEM)
 STEP 5 : DEVELOP SAFETY PROCEDURES FOR
FIRE HAZARD CONTROL
 STEP 6 : DEVELOP A FIRE EMERGENCY EXIT AND
EVACUATION PLAN
 STEP 7: TRAINING/FIRE DRILL
 STEP 8 : EVALUATION/AUDIT/REPORT
 STEP 1: DEVELOP A STATEMENT OF INTENT
 STEP 2 : DEVELOP A FIRE SAFETY TASK FORCE
COMMITTEE (run emergency planning
strategy)
 STEP 3 : ASSESS ALL FIRE HAZARDS (material,
procedures and building design)
Eg : Storage area, maintenance workshops,,
garage, forklift fueling and servicing,
manufacturing, assembly areas and materials,
fire doors, PPE, electrical equipment, hot
work, smoking areas, heating, ventilating and
air conditioning systems.
 STEP 4: IDENTIFYING FIRE HAZARD CONTROLS
- Type of fire class of the hazards
- Identify potential ignition sources
- Identify the existing and necessary types of
fire protection (detection, alarm and
suppression)
 STEP 5 : DEVELOP SAFETY PROCEDURES FOR
FIRE HAZARD CONTROL
- Develop proper control procedures
- Develop proper handling and storage
(flammable/combustible materials)
- Develop for the use, maintenance and
training for fire protection (alarm, detection)
 STEP 6 : DEVELOP A FIRE EMERGENCY EXIT AND
EVACUATION PLAN

Table 1 : Basic evacuation procedure

R Remove all persons in danger!


A Always pull the alarm and call emergency
numbers
C Contain the fire by closing the windows and
door
E Extinguish the fire only if you are trained and
