It helps organizations identify and mitigate fire risks associated with machinery, ensuring a safer workplace.
Any organization that uses machinery in its operations should comply with this standard to ensure safety.
The key components include risk assessment, preventive measures, fire detection, fire suppression, emergency planning, and training.
By providing guidelines to prevent and manage fire risks, it helps protect employees and property from fire-related incidents.
Risk assessment involves identifying potential fire hazards and evaluating their impact to implement appropriate preventive measures.
Preventive measures include proper maintenance, use of non-combustible materials, and regular inspections.
Fire detection systems are installed to quickly identify and respond to fire incidents, minimizing damage.
Fire suppression systems help control and extinguish fires, preventing them from spreading and causing more damage.
Training ensures that employees are aware of fire risks and know how to respond effectively in case of a fire.
