Fire safety in productionare regulated by the rules developed and approved by the Ministry of Emergency Situations. Production facilities, as a rule, are distinguished by an increased class of fire hazard. This is due to the presence of a large number of combustible materials, electrical equipment and the action of potentially dangerous work processes.
Causes of fires in production
Fire safety in production implies the fulfillment of all requirements and requirements of the relevant standards and instructions.
At large enterprises, management createsSpecial departments of the engineering service, where specialists work, whose main responsibility is to monitor compliance with standards, regulations and safety regulations. In addition, they help to quickly resolve issues arising in the construction of buildings or the installation of new equipment. Such profile engineering departments allow not involving third-party firms to solve issues related to fire safety in production, and, therefore, save the enterprise's funds.
Fire safety in the office
In the past few decades, the problemensuring fire safety of offices is particularly acute. Here the human factor plays a role: the majority of employees and employers do not realize the degree of potential threat from the flame.
Fire safety in production,compared with security in the office, seems more difficult to achieve. However, in the first case, employees are fully aware of the degree of threat, and as a result are in a more advantageous situation.
In order to change the current situation, it is necessary to strictly observe all requirements, recommendations and rules, namely:
- install a fire alarm;
- ensure the presence of powder or carbon dioxide type fire extinguishers;
- to develop and post to a prominent place the scheme of evacuation in case of fire;
- eliminate all violations identified during the inspections, within the agreed timeframe.
Fire safety measures
All the above measures of struggle can be divided into five large classes:
1. Measures to eliminate the causes of emergencies (both direct and indirect).
2. Activities aimed at limiting the size of a disaster.
3. Measures to ensure quick and safe evacuation.
4. Activities involving the creation of factors and conditions that ensure successful fire extinguishing.
5. Fire prevention: employee training, briefings, the appointment of responsible persons, the organization of fire protection, etc.
Fire safety at work and in the officesupported by preventive measures. They allow reducing the number of fires, minimizing possible material damage and reducing the number of injuries sustained during a fire.
