1-Hour Fire Protection and Prevention

---

This course is a General Elective approved by the New York City Department of Buildings that can help fulfill the requirement for an individual applying for a Site Safety Training (SST) card. This is awareness level training only and does not provide any other qualification or authorization outside of the Site Safety Training Card.

Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) requires workplaces to establish a comprehensive Emergency Action Plan. An Emergency Action Plan (EAP) involves taking the proper steps to analyze and evaluate your workplace, even on a job site where the layout changes job to job.

This course will review housekeeping practices and variables to consider in your emergency action plan. It will also cover types of fires, potential fire hazards, proper fire extinguishing practices, and maintenance and inspection practices for extinguishers. Although there may be no guaranteed safety during a natural disaster, if you're aware of weather conditions, prepared to act, and have a shelter location, you can greatly reduce the likelihood of being injured, or worse.

It is imperative that all employees understand the potential emergencies, reporting procedures, alarm systems, evacuation plans, and shutdown procedures. Clearly communicate to your employees who will be in charge during an emergency to minimize confusion 

Upon completion of this course, you will receive a 1-hour  Fire Protection and Prevention  certificate on your SST card.
