Active fire protection

ensure operations are being performed in a safe manner. Safety reports are generated by the SSHO or other safety personnel following each inspection. The Safety Inspection Report may require corrections which the superintendent must ensure are rectified. If recommendations require retraining, the employee will be removed from that particular task and are assigned to a more suitable role until the training is completed. 5. Toolbox Talks are conducted on every jobsite by the superintendent and/or SSHO at the start of each week to further sharpen safety knowledge and compliance of site personnel. The purpose of these meetings is to cover the more universal topics that affect everyone on site such as fire safety, proper lifting, PPE use, electrical hazard identification, fall protection, tool safety, excavation/trench safety and safe equipment operation to name a few. These meetings are mandatory, all workers and subcontractors are required to participate. Afterwards, a short quiz is administered by the superintendent to test the level of the attendees’ attention and comprehension. The signed roster and quiz results are forwarded (subcontractors are required to attend), and the QC/Safety Manager sends them to the PM for review and the corporate office for inclusion in the Project file records. Every employee has the responsibility and authority to stop work if they discover an unsafe condition. Employees will never be reprimanded for stopping work in the interest of safety.…

Following the collapse of the Twin Towers on 9/11, the fire service has undergone a transformation in its response in order to avoid another disaster of this magnitude. The 9/11 attacks on the World Trade Centers in New York City, New York identified new building design and construction concerns due to a terror event. On September 11, 2001, two commercial aircrafts intentionally crashed into the World Trade Center twin towers igniting jet-fuel-fed fires inside the structures. Due to the intense…

recently wrote an article on the dynamics of fire science dealing within the fire service. Firefighting dynamics focus on many points dealing with the chemistry of firefighting and the many changes that are involved with fire behavior and the products of combustion associated with each object(Madrzykowski, 2016). Controlling the growth of the fire and knowing what the fire is doing in a structure is a great tool for company officers to use during firefighting tactics (Madrzykowski, 2016). Mr.…
