Frequently asked
Who needs a Fire Prevention Plan?
Workplaces required by 1910 to have one — generally, workplaces with major fire hazards. In practice, most general industry workplaces qualify. Written required for >10 employees; oral acceptable for ≤10.
What's required in the plan?
1910.39(c) requires: (1) List of major fire hazards with handling/storage/disposal procedures and ignition sources; (2) Personnel responsible for maintenance and control; (3) Personnel responsible for fuel source hazards. All elements included.
How is this different from EAP?
EAP (1910.38) covers RESPONSE to emergencies including fires. Fire Prevention Plan (1910.39) covers PREVENTING fires. Most workplaces need both.
Does this cover NFPA codes?
At a high level. Local fire codes (typically IFC-based, often referencing NFPA) cover building-level fire protection (sprinklers, alarms, egress, construction). Plan addresses occupational fire prevention.
