An employer must inform employees upon initial assignment to a job of the fire hazards to which they are exposed. An employer must also review with each employee those parts of the fire prevention plan necessary for self-protection.
This review should be done when:
- The plan is first developed,
- Employees are initially hired,
- Employees responsibilities under the plan change, and
- The plan is changed.
General training for employees should include:
- Individual roles and responsibilities;
- Threats, hazards, and corrective actions;
- Notification, warning, and communications procedures;
- Means for locating family members in an emergency;
- Emergency response procedures;
- Evacuation, shelter, and accountability procedures;
- Location and use of common emergency equipment; and
- Emergency shutdown procedures.
While annual training is not required, consider a yearly refresher. Offer training after:
- Introducing new equipment, materials, or processes into the workplace that affect evacuation routes;
- Changing the layout or design of the facility; and
- Revising or updating emergency procedures.
If there are 10 or fewer employees, the EAP may be communicated orally.
Once everyone has been trained, it is a best practice to hold practice drills occasionally.
