AMAADOR ACADEMY

Fire safety and emergency preparedness at work

Fire precautions and emergency planning are basic workplace duties in many legal systems. This page cites two US OSHA provisions that are often used as a reference, and links a free course and the $1 toolbox-talk library on this site.

In the United States, exit routes and emergency planning are addressed in OSHA 29 CFR 1910 Subpart E, and portable fire extinguishers in 29 CFR 1910.157. Those rules apply in their US scope. They are not Moroccan law, and local fire regulations and the workplace emergency plan always take precedence where you work.

The free Fire Safety & Emergency Preparedness course on this site covers everyday fire precautions and preparedness. It is independent training, not a fire-service qualification.
