Fire prevention

If you want to prevent fires, understand the unsafe practices and conditions that can cause them. Then don’t do them. For example, don’t smoke near flammable materials or plug portable heaters into surge protectors.

Handbook MS-56, Fire Prevention and Control, Handbook EL-814, Employee Guide to Safety, and National Fire Protection Association 101: Life Safety Code are excellent resources for keeping facilities and homes safe. You can find these resources under MyHR on the Blue Intranet.

That’s smart safety.
