Creating an Effective FPP
Of course, everyone should be properly trained, and the plan should be exercised regularly. Another key component is to make sure FPP equipment is properly maintained.
The plan administrator or another assigned person should ensure that all tools, equipment and machinery are maintained according to manufacturers' specifications.
Management should ensure everyone complies with the requirements of the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) codes for specific equipment. Only properly trained individuals should perform maintenance work.
The following equipment is subject to the maintenance, inspection, and testing procedures:
- equipment installed to detect fuel leaks, control heating, and control pressurized systems;
- portable fire extinguishers, automatic sprinkler systems, and fixed extinguishing systems;
- detection systems for smoke, heat, or flame;
- fire alarm systems; and
- emergency backup systems and the equipment they support.
