Actual Finalised Tasks

When you are working in an organisation you should always familiarise yourself with where the fire exits, fire alarms and fire extinguishers are located.

The Station had recently received an inspection by West Warwick Fire Marshal Dennis Laroque. The owners were cited for several violations including expired fire extinguishers and some that needed to be hung along with gasoline stored inside the building. In his statements to police, Laroque says that the critical violation that he was concerned about was the exit door near the stage. It had a second inner door that did not have panic hardware attached and opened into the showroom. They had been previously cited and had removed the door to pass follow-up inspections only to replace it shortly after.

The Triangle was undoubtedly one of the most tragic events in the worlds history. The not only is the fire a horrifying event, but the factory had no safety precautions and didn’t have any emergency exits and kept doors locked. Not only did this strike sorrow on the community, but it awakened people to realize that workplace safety is a serious thing and needs to be practiced.

The failure to remove any debris from the fire escape or exit constitutes a fire hazard. Any obstruction on or to any fire escape or exit could jeopardize the safety of my family and any others during a fire. In case of a fire, other people or firefighters may be blocked, injured or death by the debris. The seriousness of a fire at night can trip in the dark over unseen objects that is heavy and hard to push or remove of any objects that cause delay of trying to escape a fire especially mobile homes light up in seconds from a home that is made from wood structure.

The fire escape became more than an emergency exit in a burning building. It is used for everything from outdoor to dining to sleeping and gardening, opening up the home to the surrounding city like a “porch in the sky” or “private get-away”.

Nowadays, it is almost impossible to find a building that does not have exit signs or fire extinguishers in America. Whether in a university or at the work place, exit signs and fire safety instructions can easily be found by anybody. Fire drills are regularly practiced to ensure the least amount of casualty will occur if something goes wrong. However, a hundred years ago safety issues were barely taken into considerations and safety regulations were most of the time inexistent, as illustrates the terrible fire that happened a hundred years ago at the Triangle

Making sure that the fire exits are kept clear and fire prevention equipment is kept maintained.

As part of the Health and Safety at Work Act 1974 and other regulations, every setting that employs five or more staff must have a safety policy. The policy will cover emergency procedures in the event of fire, accident or other emergencies. Fire and evacuation drills are also a requirement of every EYFS settings in England. The following are steps to take in the event of fire:

While dangerous work like firefighting often requires decisive and quick action against one of nature’s most destructive elements, do the inherent risks of firefighting justify risky decision-making by officials? In this dangerous and often daring line of work, when is the line between protecting the public and protecting public employees crossed – and who is responsible when that line is crossed?

They maintain clear and precise communication to stay informed at all times. “You might be surprised to learn that according to government statistics, fire fighting is NOT one of the top ten most dangerous jobs. Obviously, it has risks. That's no secret. But many occupations are more dangerous, including loggers, police officers, and even pizza delivery drivers!”

In the event of fire the parts of the building that can transport smoke from one area to another are known as leakage paths. Common leakage paths in the event of fire are the principle evacuation areas (e.g. fire stairs), main access and egress paths, lift shafts and corridors.

-The stop sign outside is our safety place during a fire alarm. All personal must be out of the building.
