| FIRES & OTHER EMERGENCIES | Posted: 3:33 PM - 11/5/01 |
|
OSHA Standard: Click on Emergency Action Plans, Fire Prevention Plans or Fire Safety Standards Fire Prevention Week , Oct 6-12, 2013 BCB Fire/Evacuation Drill Schedule – Oct 2012 (see below) FIRE PREVENTION, EMERGENCY ACTION & HOMELAND SECURITY PLAN: As owner and operator of a number of buildings, the State Budget and Control Board has fire and life safety responsibilities to include detailed immediate emergency response and follow-on actions required of tenant agencies; building maintenance; and coordination with city, county and state Emergency Management Services (9-1-1: police/SLED/Bureau of Protective Services, ambulance, fire). Facilities Management maintenance and tenant agency emergency staff personnel are identified as well as those needing assistance, and those trained in CPR & 1st Aid. Anticipated emergency situations such as evacuation due to fire, bomb threats, severe weather and more are included in each building's emergency plan. Requests for the basic plan and/or attachment for a specific building, or for Safety to conduct training for tenant agencies should be sent to BLee@gs.sc.gov or call Bernie Lee of the Safety office at 737-2315. PERSON-IN-NEED of Assistance During Emergencies: Persons with restricted mobility or impaired sight or hearing (permanent or temporary), especially in a multi-story building where descending stairs is difficult, may want or need assistance during an evacuation or other emergency (see form). Incident Command is formed when multi-agencies take action in response to emergencies. They need information but are on the outside so must communicate with persons from inside the building. The Building Incident Command (BIC) emergency staff inside the affected building is also necessary in emergency planning, response and recovery efforts. Managers, supervisors and BIC members should take free on-line training offered by FEMA (see below). TRAINING PRESENTATION A narrated PowerPoint presentation is also available from BCB Safety that covers OSHA emergency action plan requirements to include fire evacuations, severe weather, intruders in the workplace, bomb threats and terrorist events. All you have to do is supplement this with your organization's and building specific information (see attached training outline) then your training package is ready to go!!! PORTABLE FIRE EXTINGUISHERS: The tenant is required to do monthly checks of portable fire extinguishers if installed for their special purpose areas. Annual inspections and maintenance are required to be performed by a SC-licensed fire technician. (See Extinguisher Inspections and FEMA Teaches How to use a Portable Fire Extinguisher ; contact the SC BCB Material Management Office for state contract on extinguishers) SMOKING IN STATE BUILDINGS: SC has legislated restrictions on smoking in certain areas through the Clean Air Act of 1990 to include all state buildings. Some exceptions are allowed. There is to be no smoking in state buildings except in a designated area and these smoking areas must be identified with conspicuous signs and have adequate ventilation to keep the other areas smoke free. Fire code (IFC 310) also requires designated smoking areas to provide suitable noncombustible receptacles (not standard trash containers that hold combustible materials) so as to properly dispose of matches, cigarettes, cigars, and other smoking materials to prevent fire. SPACE HEATERS & OPEN FLAMES: Space heaters are a fire hazard and can be especially dangerous when they don't meet Underwriters Laboratory (UL) safety standards or when used improperly. (In general, any home appliances in the workplace are discouraged due to the fire hazard from an overloaded electrical system and increased energy costs.) To make a complaint about it being too cold in your office area, please call the Work Order Desk, 734-3308. Space heaters are only allowed after making a cold complaint, investigation by Facilities Management Building Maintenance then their appliance inspection and approval. Open flames (i.e., candle, incense burner) are prohibited in SC Budget and Control Board buildings. Exceptions (i.e, sterno type food tray warmers for catering) can be approved on a by case request to the BCB Safety office. Extension Cords - can be used for up to 90 days but must be used properly. The available guidance describes potential hazards and recommendations for proper use. However, a sufficient number of well located grounded outlets can eliminate the need for extension cords. |

OSHA Standard: Click on First Aid or Bloodborne Pathogens OSHA requires employees be provided a safe and healthy workplace that is reasonably free of occupational hazards. Realistically, injuries happen (see Reporting A Work Accident) so adequate first aid is available in the workplace for the critical minutes until receiving professional care by emergency services or at a clinic/hospital. Designated and volunteer employees are trained to render first aid in a timely manner and have readily accessible first aid kits, which include blood-borne protection, and Automatic External Defibrillators. The Bloodborne Exposure Control Plan provides information and requires training for hazard recognition and protection of employees whose job potentially exposes them to contact with blood or other infectious materials. Health - Click on: SC Clean Air Act of 1990 for places where smoking is allowed and prohibited. Computer Workstations to learn how to set up an ergonomically correct office work station. OSHA Heat Stress Guidance provides recommended methods to protect employees whose work exposes them to hot/cold weather conditions that can lead to a heat-related illness. OSHA Heat Safety Cell Phone App Workplace Violence - Domestic problems, drug and alcohol abuse, termination or disciplinary actions can trigger violence in the workplace. If an employee notices a co-worker acting strangely or makes a verbal or physical threat against themselves or someone else, immediately report it to a supervisor. |
