Periodicity of conducting briefings on fire safety. The Fire Safety Brigade Magazine

Today, in all organizations, regardless of their forms of ownership, the order of the responsible official establishes the time, order and frequency of conducting fire safety briefings. About how, in what form and at what time this briefing is conducted, we will tell in our publication.

Brief information on fire brigade training

Fire-fighting instruction - informing the employees of the company about the basic rules and established fire safety standards in the workplace. It may include detailed or superficial examination of the relevant equipment and facilities, technological processes, as well as actions used in case of fire.

The periodicity of conducting briefings on fire safety, as well as the type of information submission is set by the management of the enterprise. For example, at most factories and industrial facilities, such reporting to the employees of the organization is carried out at least once a year, and sometimes every six months. The time allocated for instructing employees of a company or an enterprise should not take less than an hour.

Rules for conducting

Instruction, as a rule, is carried out according to a certain program, which is developed by the employees of the labor department. When drafting this program, not only the rules and standards for conducting briefings, but also the subtleties of the production process at a particular enterprise are taken into account. And this plan must be approved by the leadership of the SBS unit and the director of the organization.

In addition, the management of the plant or any other enterprise is appointed responsible for the delivery of relevant information to the team. All the details of the briefing are usually described in the company order. How to determine the frequency of conducting fire safety briefings, depending on the type of work and instructing employees, we will discuss further.

What are the main issues described in the plan?

Among the main issues described in the plan for coaching, the following can be singled out:

• Current documents, legal and regulatory acts on fire safety rules;
• Instructions on fire safety ;
• Rules for working with objects and equipment with an increased level of danger;
• Measures of prevention and causes of fires ;
• First aid training;
• Practical advice on the implementation of step-by-step instructions in case of fire (use of telephone, fire escape, rules for evacuation of employees in case of fire), etc.

This is how the fire safety briefing is conducted. The terms of its re-holding are stipulated in advance.

Actions of responsible persons in the event of a fire

In case of fire, the responsible persons are obliged to act according to the instructions. First of all, they need to call the appropriate fire department and report a fire. Then it is necessary to organize the evacuation of the company's employees (in accordance with the established plans), to save all valuable documentation and to wait for the arrival of the fire brigade. By the way, at any enterprise it is recommended to spend days of fire safety, during which it is possible to instruct people on evacuation rules. You can do this at least twice a year.

In what form is the workforce informed?

The fire safety briefing program should not only contain information on the frequency, timing and timing of its conduct, but also describe the intended form used to transfer data to employees of the company. So, according to the time and nature of the conduct, instruction on fire safety rules can be divided into:

• Introductory and unscheduled;
• Primary (conducted directly at the workplace staff) and repeated;
• Target and exit (performed outside the workplace, for example, in a rented conference room).

The frequency or frequency of conducting fire safety briefings directly depends on the plan approved by the organization's directorate.

Who conducts the instruction in production?

Depending on the type of briefing, it is carried out by a variety of responsible persons. For example, the introduction involves informing the employees of the enterprise about the person responsible for fire safety in the factory, factory and other companies. Moreover, this type of briefing is , as a rule, only employees hired.

Where is the primary instruction given?

The initial briefing on fire safety is carried out by responsible persons directly in structural divisions. This means that the employee can learn about the safety rules right at his workplace. The following persons can obtain information about fire safety:

• Transferred from one workshop to another (from one unit to another);
• Arrived on the exchange of experience and seconded;
• Trainees and trainees;
• Employees who for the first time encounter this type of work in the enterprise.

Re-instructing employees

Repeated briefing on fire safety - informing employees at the enterprise, performed to further consolidate the material. It is carried out in the structural subdivision with a frequency not more than once in six months. Moreover, for employees working with specialized equipment of an increased level of danger, the thematic material should be repeated at least once a quarter.

Unscheduled delivery of safety information

Unscheduled briefing is performed if certain changes were made to the existing fire safety documentation at the enterprise. For example, regulatory or legal acts have been amended, new measures and requirements for fire safety in organizations have been issued. Such information is also provided in the following cases:

• With the acquisition by the enterprise of new equipment that the workers have not previously encountered;
• When replacing old equipment (modernization, replacement of important parts);
• At the request of the GPS;
• In the event of a forced production interruption in the work activity at the enterprise for a year or more (for example, when the equipment is idle).

Such a briefing on fire safety (a sample of it you will find below) is carried out both at the workplaces of the employees of the enterprise, and their departure to a more comfortable room is provided. For example, often executives of organizations rent for their subordinates conference rooms in hotels and development centers.

Targeted communication of the working group

Targeted instruction is carried out by the responsible person for those employees who came to the production to provide one-time services and performance of work. Such a report of information requires mandatory registration of a work permit and conducting a kind of excursion in production.

Who should be instructed?

All employees of the organization are invited to voluntarily attend the briefing, regardless of the position they hold. In turn, the type of their information will depend directly on the purpose and timing of their presence in the enterprise, as well as on other, especially individual nuances. On how to maintain a fire safety briefing journal, we'll talk further.

What is a log for recording records?

All information about the training is recorded in a special journal. If we talk about the requirements of the GPS for such documents, then the briefing journals should:

• Be threaded and stitched;
• To keep a seal of the enterprise and to pass registration in the department of labor;
• Be signed (subject to the title page);
• Be numbered;
• Keep up-to-date records of current and forthcoming types of briefings.

Briefing on fire safety: sample

How to arrange everything correctly? The fire safety briefing log, as a rule, contains the following items and columns:

• serial number;
• The date of instruction;
• Name and date of birth of the instructed person;
• Position and profession of the employee of the enterprise (applies exclusively to the instructed people);
• A type of briefing;
• The reason for conducting (with unscheduled types of information);
• Initials and surname, position of instructed person;
• The signature of the instructor and the person who listened to the instruction.

The magazine also can refer to the number of days worked for students and trainees who have been instructed and are working at the enterprise.

Check knowledge in the field of fire safety rules can be done by testing a particular kind or exam.
