22
Q
CO’s must identify what during inspections
A
hazardous conditions that might cause a fire and conditions that impede the occupants egress in emergency
23
Q
obstructed or locked exit doors must be
A
corrected b4 the co leaves
24
Q
other violations such as ‘’ can be given more time to correct
A
fire extinguisher ( reasonable amount of time ) p. 267
25
when a violation has been reported to the occupant and the required corrective action has been explained, a '' that includes '' and time of the follow up or reinspection is issued.
written notice , time and date
26
if violation is all set after reinspections the co should
thank occupant and complete paperwork
27
if violations are not corrected co should follow organizational guidelines to gain compliance these may include :
making another attempt
scheduling a second follow up
issuing a citation to the responsible party
28
a major factor in a life safety inspection is
preparation
29
the purpose of any life safety inspection is to leave the occupancy ''
safer than b4 and the occupant more knowledgeable about protecting themselves
30
the first step in preparing for the inspection is
gathering info p. 268
31
one of the best informations sources about an occupancy is the record of ''
previous inspections and incident reports
32
at the very least , the record indicates a need for ''
more public education with the building owners
33
co's must know the inspection '' and '
policy and follow it p. 269
34
a large part of the success of an inspection depends on how the business owners and employees '' the personnel '' the inspection
perceive , conducting
35
Units should drive around the facility or block to observe the surrounding areas, personnel should note or photograph the following :
hydrants
potential exposures
overhead obstruction
business name /address as displayed on building
anything else that could help location or aging access to building
36
one member is usual y required to what during inspections
stay with truck
37
b4 starting inspection co's should ask the rep to review background data including
address , owners, numbers.. make sure correct. 270
38
what is an inspections primary concern
life safety
39
Co's must inspection every ''
room, space or compartment
40
Company personnel may sign '''' agreements some private firms working under federal contract require personnel to complete '' b4 being allowed to enter
confidentiality
personal data form
41
if occupant has a sprinkler systemm the inspector should check the ''
post indicator valve
42
if no floor plan exist , ...''
one should be drawn during inspection tour
43
common''' may be divided into the follow :
means or egress
processes
waste mNGT
hosuekeepin
storage
fire protection p.271
violations
44
what is the most single important life safety item to be inspected
means of egress
45
a means of egress consist of 3 parts ?
A2E
EI
ED
access to the exit
the exit itself
exit discharge
46
the exit may discharge into a '' or lead to a ''
PW
POF
R
public way / point of saftey or area of refuge
47
according to NFPA101 life saftey code all means of egresss must be usable by a person with ''
severe mobility impairment
48
inspections should look for what regarding egress
obstruction , markings , lighting , door swing , hardware and stairwells
49
what is any permanent or movable object that will reduce the width of original exit passage( must be removed immediately )
* if severe may result in closing of facility until corrected
obstruction
50
exit signs must be visible in ''' , signs are usually '' and have '' power in event of power failure . usually above doors
dark , electrified , auxiliary
51
exit doors usually swing in the direction of'' . on a doors exit discharge side , the door opening should not extend into ''
travel, passageway and reduce exits width
52
exit doors must remain '' from the inside whenever the building is occupied and must be '' from the inside with a single motion , w/o a key or special knowledge.
unlocked /openable
53
interior locks should not prevent
reentry onto all floors , if required
54
Interior locks should not prevent re-entry onto all floors if required reentry permits
sheltering in place on selected floor p. 272
55
what can obscure or block access to means of egress
trash or litter
56
small storage rooms may contain
janitorial supplies, office supplies or miscellany materials
57
large rooms may contain '''', such as toys, clothing , maintenance parts or ignitable liquids.
retail merchandise
58
flammable material such as '' must be kept seperate
cardboard boxes , packing material or ignitable liquids
59
smoking .weding and cutting operations should be '' from stage areas
prohibited
60
exit passageways need to be
marked and unobstructed
61
fire protection depends upon many factors such as :
employees ability to '' and '' a fire
ability to use a ''
built in ''
automatice ''
recognize , report
extinguisher
fire alarm systems
sprinklers
62
company level personnel must possess sufficient know and skills to be able to :
answers '' related to fire ''
asset plant '' and'' personnel i these areas when asked
inspect and if required test ''
questions prevention and protection
saftey /security
fire detection p. 273
63
3 Major systems used to identify hazardous material in North America
NFPA 704
u.s. Dept of Transportation (dot)
United Nation global Harmonized system of classification and labeling of chemicals ( GHS ) p. 74-5
64
Signs may indicate the presence of Hazmat material at:
FF
P
PS
C
fixed facilities
pipelines
on piping systems
other container
65
NFPA "" is the standard system for identification of the hazard of materials for emergency response
704
66
what NFPA is the widely recognized method for indicting the presence of hazmat material at commercial , manufacturing , institutional and other fixed storage
nfpa 704
67
NFpa 704 is designed to alert emergency responders to health,flammability,instability and related hazrds specifically x2 '' that may present short term , actor exposures resulting from fire, spill or similar emergency
oxidizers, water- reactive material
68
who x3 countries use a placarding , labeling and marketing systems to identify hazmat during transports
us , mexico and canada ( same source transport of dangerous goods- model regulation published by United nations)
69
Transport labels are designed for '' packages , where transportation placards are designed for '' packages
non bul vs bulk275
70
what does GHS stand for
globally harmonized system of classification of chemicals
71
the purpure '''' is to promote common and consistent criteria for classifying chemicals according to there health,physical and enviromental hazards and encourage the use of compatible hazard labels and saftey data sheets and other comm info based on the resulting classification
Global harmonizing system
72
Key harmonized elements of '' are:
Uniform classification of hazardous substances and mixtures
Uniform labeling standards
Allocation of label elements
Symbols and pictograms
— Signal words: danger (most severe hazard categories) and warning (less severe hazard categories)
Hazard statements
Precautionary statements and pictograms
Product and supplier identification
Multiple hazards and precedence of information
Arrangements for presenting GHS label elements
Special labeling arrangements
Uniform safety data sheet (SDS) content and format
GHS
73
when inspection is complete the findings should be discussed with one in a ''
closing interview
74
if no violations found the CO should '' if Violations found the CO should
congrats owner , review and discuss
75
immediate threats to life saftey , such as locked or obstructed exits should be
immediately fixed b4 CO leaves
76
a '' amount of time should be given to fix less critical things
reasonable
77
when should the CO set a date and time for the next inspection
during closing p. 276
78
documentation must be x3 "" as possible :
C
A
R
complete, accurate and readable
79
changes in the '' plan, Processes use or Access and occupancy Status are all important to Responders. This information can be used to update ''''
floor plan
Pre-incident Surveys
80
each fire section system must meet requirements of ''
NFPA 71 ( fire alarm and singling code )
81
inspectors or CO's personnel will not determine the systems '', only how well it is ''
adequacy , maintained
82
inspection personal are not usually required to '' pumps .
test
83
When inspecting, one should check the '' x2 regarding pumps
pump maintenance , test records
84
Nfpa 20 require them pumps to be run for at least '' per week
30
85
Co should look for signs for x5 to the pump or associated piping:
W,O,R,C,D
water, oil, rust, corrosion or damage p. 277
86
when inspecting standpipes and hoses systems , CO should perform the following :
Check the hose cabinets to see that they are free of '' and ''
Check the hose for signs of '' (water stains, cuts, or abrasions on its surface).
Feel the hose between the '' and the first ''. If water has accumulated there, the valve may be partially ''or ''
'' the hose on 1½-inch (38 mm) hose connections. Test the valve by '' it to allow water to flow into a bucket held close to the outlet.
Check the '' of the hose threads and gasket while the hose is disconnected.
Remove the hose'' , and check its '' and gasket.
Remove the '' and check the '' on 2½-inch (65 mm) hose connections, and connect a pressure gauge to the outlet so that the valve can be opened to test it.
Check the'' to ensure that the threads are undamaged and the inlets are free of ''.
Check the hose cabinets to see that they are free of trash and debris.
Check the hose for signs of deterioration (water stains, cuts, or abrasions on its surface).
Feel the hose between the connection and the first fold. If water has accumulated there, the valve may be partially open or leaking.
Disconnect the hose on 1½-inch (38 mm) hose connections. Test the valve by opening it to allow water to flow into a bucket held close to the outlet.
Check the condition of the hose threads and gasket while the hose is disconnected.
Remove the hose nozzle, and check its operation and gasket.
Remove the cap and check the threads on 2½-inch (65 mm) hose connections, and connect a pressure gauge to the outlet so that the valve can be opened to test it.
Check the system's fire department connection (FDC) to ensure that the threads are undamaged and the inlets are free of debris.
87

auto sprinkler system
88
what system can get water to a fire faster but could freeze
wet systems
89
3 types of dry systems are?
''' closed sprinkler attached to piping , that contains air under pressure ( put where there is a subject to freezing )
'' piping and open sprinkler. used to active water or foam p. 278
'' same as dry but also has a secondary detection system ( both systems must work b4 extinguishing agents ) ( installed where sensitive to accidental water damage )
A dry pipe - closed sprinkler attached to piping , that contains air under pressure ( put where there is a subject to freezing )
preaction - same as dry but also has a secondary detection system ( both systems must work b4 extinguishing agents ) ( installed where sensitive to accidental water damage )
deluge - piping and open sprinkler. used to active water or foam p. 278
90
Dry chem systems must conform to NFPA ?
17
91

92
dry chem system are either ''' or ''
engineered or pre engineered
93
'' systems are specifically calculated and constructed for a particular occupancy
engineered
94
'' systems are designed to protect an area in an occupancy
pre - engineered
95
fixed dry chem systems use the same fire extinguishing agents as
portable dry chem ones.( nontoxic and nonconducting , hard to clean up )
96
2 main types of dry chem systems are
local and total flood
97
most common type of dry chem systems >
local ( discharge directly onto a small area like cooking surfaces in kitchen )
