The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC), and CHEMTREC are organizations that provide resources and information about hazardous substances.

Technology can solve some problems, but it can also create new ones. Reliance on technology may lead to unexpected emergencies and disasters.

Fire extinguishers require regular maintenance, including visual inspections, hydrostatic testing, and internal examinations, along with documentation.

Written emergency plans are crucial for workplaces, especially businesses with more than 10 employees. The plan outlines procedures for fire & emergency reporting, evacuation, employee rescue, and emergency contacts.

Elevators are designed to automatically return to a safe floor in case of a fire, known as the 'floor of primary recall,' usually near an exit. This floor is indicated by a star on the elevator control panel.

The maximum travel distance from any point in a room to an exit is 150 feet. This distance can be extended to 200 feet in industrial buildings without sprinklers and 250 feet in those with sprinklers.

Corridors and passageways used for exit access must have a minimum clear width of 44 inches.

The minimum width of a staircase required for safe evacuation, typically 44 inches.

A factor used to calculate the maximum number of people that can safely evacuate through an egress point, such as a door or staircase.

The component of a building's egress system with the lowest maximum capacity determines the overall evacuation capacity of the building.

The total number of people a building can safely hold, determined by dividing the floor area by the occupant load factor.

The portion of a building's evacuation route that is separated from other spaces, designed to prevent the spread of fire or smoke.

The final part of an evacuation route, connecting the protected exit to the open space outside.

Taking refuge in a secure interior room with limited or no windows during an emergency.

An agreement between two or more organizations to provide mutual assistance in the event of an emergency.

An organized group of individuals within a company trained to respond to fires and other emergencies.

The minimum concentration of a flammable substance in air that will support combustion.

A device that detects flammable gases or vapors in the air. It measures the concentration as a percentage of the LEL.

A chemical reaction that produces heat and can cause an uncontrolled release of energy. Usually associated with a rapid increase in pressure.

A substance or material that can rapidly burn or explode when exposed to a source of ignition.

The process of reducing the oxygen concentration in the air to make it less likely for combustibles to ignite.

The spread of a blast wave outwards from the explosion point.

The impact of a blast wave on secondary objects, creating flying debris.

Radiation from a fireball caused by the explosion, like a huge, hot fire.

The distance a blast wave travels is proportional to the cube root of the explosive charge weight.

Fine particles suspended in the air, a potential fuel source for explosions.

A rapid combustion of dust particles suspended in air.

The presence of oxygen and fuel sources in dust confinement.

Many organic, inorganic, and metallic dusts are combustible.

Limestone dust can be used to suppress dust explosions, acting as an inert material.

A first dust explosion can stir up more dust, leading to a secondary, potentially larger explosion.

A procedure for counting workers entering and exiting an underground construction site to ensure everyone is accounted for. It helps maintain safety and allows prompt action in case of emergencies.

A procedure for notifying workers of hazardous air conditions, such as a drop in oxygen levels or the presence of flammable gases, in an underground work environment. It includes visual and audible alarms and evacuation procedures.

The process of ensuring safe working conditions for employees handling potentially hazardous materials like blood or bodily fluids. It involves training on appropriate handling techniques, providing protective equipment, and offering vaccinations against diseases like hepatitis B.

A plan for responding to emergencies involving chemicals, including procedures for evacuation, containment, and providing first aid. It involves identifying potential hazards and training employees on proper response.

A team specially trained to handle emergency situations involving hazardous chemicals or other workplace risks. They often provide first aid, control the situation, and coordinate with emergency services.

Training for workers on the correct use and maintenance of respirators, especially in emergency situations involving hazardous chemicals or low oxygen environments. It covers proper selection, fit testing, and use of different types of respirators.

A systematic approach to identify, assess, and control hazards in processes involving hazardous materials. It helps prevent accidents and ensure safe operation.

A brainstorming method for identifying potential hazards by asking a series of 'what if' questions about a process.

A structured method for analyzing potential deviations in a process's design conditions, identifying hazards, and suggesting solutions.

A systematic analysis of potential failures in a process, identifying their causes and consequences, and proposing solutions. It helps ensure reliable operation and prevent accidents.
