Introduction There is a long and tragic history of workplace fires in this country. One of
the most notable was the fire at the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory in New York
City in 1911, in which nearly 150 women and young girls died because of
locked fire exits and inadequate fire extinguishing systems.
History repeated itself several years ago in the fire in Hamlet, North
Carolina, where 25 workers died in a fire in a poultry processing plant. It
appears that here, too, there were problems with fire exits and extinguishing
systems.

Precendents According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics' Census of Fatal Occupational
Injuries Charts, 1992-2007 [372 KB PDF, 17 pages], fires and explosions
accounted for 3% of workplace fatalities in 2007. This page provides
valuable reference materials for prevention of fire-related injuries in all
workplaces.
Fire safety is addressed in specific standards for recordkeeping, general
industry, shipyard employment, marine terminals, longshoring, gear
certification, and the construction industry. This page highlights OSHA
standards, the Regulatory Agenda (a list of actions being taken with regard
to OSHA standards), directives (instructions for compliance officers), and
national consensus standards related to fire safety.
Fire safety becomes everyone's job at a worksite. Employers should train
workers about fire hazards in the workplace and about what to do in a fire
emergency. This plan should outline the assignments of key personnel in the
event of a fire and provide an evacuation plan for workers on the site. In the
construction industry, a "fire plan" should be set up prior to the beginning of
any demolition job.
