Build a fire safety plan specific to where you work or live. Ensure you consider all major energy sources & all other essential elements. Make sure it’s practical! Please take time to think about the topic and how you intend to address it. In 3 Pages (maximum) you should be able to provide a thoughtful and valuable answer. Don’t worry about flowery language but do your best to ensure proper grammar and spelling (a graded part of the rubric). What’s most important is that you been thoughtful in your submission. The major energy sources are: 1.      Atomic/Radiation/Nuclear 2.      Biological 3.      Chemical 4.      Electrical 5.      Gravitational 6.      Mechanical 7.      Pressure 8.      Thermal 9.      Sound.   The essential elements are: Identification of potential emergencies procedures for dealing with the identified emergencies the identification of, location of & operational procedures for emergency equipment the emergency response training requirements The location and use of emergency facilities the fire protection requirements the alarm and emergency communication requirements the first aid services required procedures for rescue and evacuation the designated rescue and evacuation workers.   I work in an insurance company (office and cubicles) as an insurance underwriter.   •       Consider potential fire emergencies based on energy sources •       Based on a completed hazard identification & assessment…       What could wrong? How might it happen? What is an optimal response?                                 Example:  Commercial Construction site                                 – Existing utilities (gas, water, electrical lines)                                 – Large mechanical equipment for excavation on site                                 – Compressed air, propane & welding gases on site What energy sources should be considered?     Check them all…                           Sources of ignition                                                                  Potential chemical reactions                                                                      Potential fuel sources •       What potential release of energy could result in fire?                                                                 Consider all ‘transformation’ & ‘transfer’ potential •       After you’re done… get another informed opinion…
