Section A

1. As per Section 29 CFR 1910.39(c)(1) explain key fire prevention elements ?

Section 29 CFR 1910.39(c)(1) of the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA)
regulations outlines key fire prevention elements that employers must address to ensure the safety
of their workplace. Here are the key fire prevention elements outlined in this section:
1. Emergency Action Plan (EAP): Employers must develop and implement an emergency action plan
(EAP) to facilitate prompt and organized evacuation of employees in the event of a fire or other
emergencies. The EAP should include procedures for reporting emergencies, evacuation routes and
exits, procedures for employees who remain to operate critical plant operations before evacuating,
and methods for accounting for employees after evacuation.
2. Fire Prevention Plan (FPP): Employers must establish and maintain a written fire prevention plan
(FPP) to prevent fires in the workplace. The FPP should identify potential fire hazards, outline
procedures for preventing and controlling fires, and designate responsibilities for fire prevention
activities. It should also include procedures for regular maintenance of fire protection equipment,
such as fire extinguishers and sprinkler systems.
3. Housekeeping: The regulation emphasizes the importance of good housekeeping practices in
preventing fires. Employers are required to maintain work areas free from the accumulation of
combustible materials, such as paper, debris, and waste. Regular cleaning and removal of
combustible materials reduce the likelihood of ignition and help mitigate fire hazards.
4. Ignition Sources: Employers must take measures to control potential ignition sources in the
workplace. This includes proper storage and handling of flammable liquids and gases, ensuring that
electrical equipment is properly maintained and grounded, and implementing procedures to prevent
sparks from equipment such as welding and cutting tools.
5. Training and Education: Employers are required to provide training and education to employees
on fire hazards, fire prevention measures, and emergency procedures outlined in the EAP and FPP.
Employees should be familiar with the location of fire alarms, fire extinguishers, and emergency
exits, as well as the proper use of firefighting equipment.
6. Fire Protection Equipment: Employers must ensure the availability and proper maintenance of fire
protection equipment, such as fire extinguishers, sprinkler systems, and smoke detectors. Regular

inspections and testing of fire protection equipment help ensure that it functions effectively in the
event of a fire emergency.

2. Explain the Purpose of ISO AUDIT in an organisation ?

The purpose of an ISO audit in an organization is to assess and evaluate the effectiveness of its
quality management system (QMS) or other management systems based on ISO standards. ISO
(International Organization for Standardization) audits are conducted to ensure that the organization
is meeting the requirements specified in the relevant ISO standard(s) and is effectively implementing
its quality management processes.
Here are some specific purposes of ISO audits in an organization:
1. Compliance Verification: ISO audits verify whether the organization's management system
complies with the requirements of the applicable ISO standard(s), such as ISO 9001 (Quality
Management Systems), ISO 14001 (Environmental Management Systems), ISO 45001 (Occupational
Health and Safety Management Systems), etc.
2. Continuous Improvement: ISO audits help identify areas for improvement within the
organization's management system. By evaluating processes, procedures, and practices, audits
highlight opportunities to enhance efficiency, effectiveness, and overall performance.
3. Risk Management: Audits assess the organization's risk management practices to ensure that risks
are identified, evaluated, and managed effectively. This includes evaluating the organization's
approach to risk mitigation, contingency planning, and compliance with relevant legal and regulatory
requirements.
4. Performance Evaluation: ISO audits provide an objective evaluation of the organization's
performance against its quality objectives, targets, and key performance indicators (KPIs). Auditors
review performance metrics to determine whether the organization is meeting its quality and
business objectives.
5. Documentation Review Audits assess the adequacy and effectiveness of the organization's
documentation, including policies, procedures, work instructions, forms, records, and other
documentation required by the ISO standard(s). This ensures that documentation is accurate, up-to-
date, and aligned with organizational processes.
6. Corrective Action: ISO audits identify non-conformities and areas of concern within the
organization's management system. When non-conformities are identified, the organization is
required to take corrective action to address the root causes and prevent recurrence. Audits verify
the effectiveness of corrective actions taken by the organization.
7. Training and Awareness: Audits evaluate the organization's training and awareness programs
related to its management system. This includes assessing the competence of personnel, their
understanding of quality requirements, and their roles and responsibilities within the management
system.
8. Customer Satisfaction: ISO audits may assess the organization's processes for monitoring and
measuring customer satisfaction. This includes reviewing customer feedback, complaints, and other
indicators of customer satisfaction to ensure that customer requirements are being met.
Overall, the purpose of ISO audits is to drive continual improvement, ensure compliance with ISO
standards, enhance customer satisfaction, and strengthen the organization's ability to achieve its
quality and business objectives. By conducting regular audits, organizations can identify

opportunities for improvement, address deficiencies, and demonstrate their commitment to quality
and excellence.

3. How many types of fire classification are there ?

Classification of Fires
Fires are classified in six groups A, B, C, D, F and electrical:
 Class A fires – are fires involving organic solids like paper, wood, etc
 Class B fires – are fires involving flammable liquids
 Class C fires – are fires involving flammable gasses
 Class D fires – are fires involving burning metals (eg aluminium swarf)
 Class F fires – are fires involving fats such as used in deep fat fryers
 Electrical fires (the letter E is not used. Instead the symbol of an electric spark is
displayed) – are fires caused by electrical equipment

4.What Are The Basic Principles Of Safety Management?

Ten basic Principles of Safety Management

1.Establish and observe a written corporate safety policy.

2.Create an independent safety review process.

3.Identify and evaluate the severity and foreseeability of product hazards.

4.Conduct a design review assessing the risk of injury by considering the hazards, the
environment, and foreseeable use.

5.First attempt to eliminate hazards. If not possible, then reduce the opportunity for injury
by guarding against the hazards.

6.Warn users of product dangers and motivate them to avoid injury.

7.Promote only the safe use of a product.

8.Maintain safety-related records during the useful life of the product.

9.Continuously monitor safety performance of the product in the hands of users.

10.Promptly notify product users and institute recall procedures where necessary to
substantially reduce or eliminate injury.

5.Explain how are flammable and combustible materials an explosion hazard?

The two primary hazards associated with flammable and combustible liquids are explosion and fire.
Flammable liquids are particularly hazardous due to their ability to produce vapours. This vapor
mixes with air and burns quickly when the flammable liquid is heated to its flashpoint or above and
is ignited. While there is a technical distinction between “flammable” and “combustible” liquids,
both burn readily and intensively, are explosive under certain conditions, and if not properly

ISO / 45001 /9001/ NFPA / TTT / IRC LA EVA.www.gemstechipl.com <> www.oshainternational.com

 ISO - LEAD AUDITOR EVALUATION PROGRESS

contained can spread fire rapidly and uncontrollably. Safe handling and storage of flammable liquids
requires the use of appropriate equipment and practices.
6.What are the common fire risks in a factory?
In a factory, there are several common fire risks that need to be carefully managed to ensure the
safety of personnel and the protection of property. Some of these risks include:
