OSHA General Industry Standards (29 CFR Part 1910) 1910.39: 1910.39 Fire prevention plans

Applies whenever another OSHA standard in Part 1910 requires a fire prevention plan. The plan must be in writing, kept in the workplace and available for employee review, except that an employer with 10 or fewer employees may communicate it orally. It must include: a list of all major fire hazards, the proper handling and storage procedures for hazardous materials, potential ignition sources and their control, and the type of fire protection equipment needed to control each major hazard; procedures to control accumulations of flammable and combustible waste materials; procedures for regular maintenance of safeguards installed on heat-producing equipment to prevent accidental ignition of combustible materials; the name or job title of the employees responsible for maintaining equipment that prevents or controls sources of ignition or fires; and the name or job title of the employees responsible for controlling fuel source hazards. The employer must inform employees, on initial assignment to a job, of the fire hazards to which they are exposed, and must review with each employee the parts of the plan necessary for self-protection. The non-mandatory Subpart E appendix explains that housekeeping aims to prevent hazardous accumulations of combustible waste (for example oil-soaked rags treated differently from office paper) and that control devices such as temperature limit switches, flame failure devices and flashback arresters should be periodically inspected or tested following manufacturer recommendations.
