Why “Emergency Action and Fire Prevention” Matters:

At the completion of this module, the participant will be able to:

  • Identify hazards that can cause emergencies

Key Points:

  • Fires, chemical discharges, natural disasters, and workplace
    violence are leading causes of workplace emergencies.
  • Measures to prevent emergencies are much easier and safer to
    implement than emergency response.
  • The first thing to do in the event of an emergency is to remove
    yourself from danger and alert others to the hazard.
  • Use firefighting equipment only if trained.
  • Know your role in an evacuation. If you have any questions or
    concerns, ask your supervisor.
