fire risk initiative

---

A structured, three-year partnership to build and sustain a strong fire safety culture through consistent engagement and measurable progress. Every visit includes a Fire Risk Assessment, with the goal of achieving a measurable reduction in risk each time we’re on site. 

The first step is a complete a comprehensive Fire Risk Assessment, establishing a clear baseline for your facility’s overall fire risk and identifying key areas for improvement. 

Frontline employees are most likely to create fire risks, are the first to be affected by these hazards, and often make the difference between a minor incident and a major loss. For this reason, all employees participate in a classroom session covering the most common concerns in their industry and at their location. This training focuses on potential outcomes and the employee’s role in eliminating these risks.

IC Fire Prevention will work with facility management to invite the local fire department for a pre-planning tour of the facility. These tours help responders identify risks, available resources, and how they will access the facility in an emergency. They also provide an opportunity to share facility response plans with the fire department, creating a cooperative relationship moving forward.

The same principles that control fire risk at home also apply to controlling fire risk in the workplace. Educating employees in home fire safety makes them more likely to engage in safe practices both at home and at work. 

The final benchmark includes a comprehensive Fire Risk Assessment to measure overall progress since the start of the program. While this marks the conclusion of our structured visits, fire risk is never static. Maintaining a strong safety culture requires continued attention, regular reviews, and proactive hazard management long after the assessment is complete.

As managers roll out this Fire Safety and Prevention Initiative, their questions and concerns will be addressed attentively. All corporate and plant management will have access to ongoing fire prevention support throughout the term of the initiative.
