"This workshop will help managers protect individuals
from harm, protect public property from damage or loss,
and deliver vital services to their communities."
LEARNING OBJECTIVES
Most property losses are preventable. And most can be prevented
by conscientiously applying simple day-to-day monitoring and
maintenance activities. This CIRMA workshop provides property
managers and employees the tools they need to identify and
manage hazards during daily operations.
Topics covered:
How to make and document property inspections.
Identifying potential problems or hazards before loss or
damage occurs may be the most cost-effective property
conservation measure that you can make. Routine inspections
can identify unsafe areas, hazards caused by poor housekeeping,
or other problem areas. Implementing a formal
documentation assures that timely corrective action will be
taken by maintenance or repair personnel.
Safe storage procedures and flammable liquid storage.
A common cause of fires are unsafe storage of flammable
liquids. Flammable liquids, such as gasoline or paint
removers, have different “flashpoints,” the temperature at
which a liquid emits combustible vapor. This workshop
instructs participants on the safe storage techniques for
many types of flammable liquids.
General housekeeping. Unguarded machinery, a fork truck
without a working horn, a clogged eyewash, or defective
exhaust hood are a few of the many dangerous situations
that may surface during routine operations. This workshop
discusses ways to address these such problems as part of
general maintenance activities.
Access to hydrants and fire protection equipment.
Emergency equipment failure can turn a minor problem
into a major incident. Safety equipment (eyewashes and
safety showers) should have daily operational checks and
periodic maintenance inspections. Fire extinguisher hoses
and sprinkler systems require special inspections and
maintenance.
