This book takes an in-dept look at fire hazards in the workplace - from, the substances required to do business to the buildning construction itself - and providers practical fire-safety principles that can be applied in any work environment. Readers will learn how to develop emergency-action and fire-prevention plans, implement effective alarm, detection and fire-extinguishment systems, and develop a comprehensive fire-program management plan that is in compliance with FEMA, OSHA, EPA and NFPA standards. Each chapter concludes with questions for the reader. Answers to chapter questions and a comprehensive glossary and index are provided at the end of the book.
