This local construction company needed to implement Fire Prevention Program Manager (FPPM) training quickly and effectively to remain in compliance with new Boston Fire Department regulations.
Through working with the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA), the company was able to seamlessly roll out the FPPM training to safety leadership, project managers, forepersons, and superintendents on each Boston- based job site.
FPPM training
By implementing company-wide FPPM training, the local firm is better prepared for potential state- and nationwide enforcement.
Training is critical for general contractors so they can be incident free on the job and compliant with job site safety standards to avoid being shut down for violations, both of which would be costly to contractors and building owners.
fire safety awareness
Workers can feel confident and empowered to help enforce fire safety codes and protocols
As more workers complete the FPPM training, they experience increased awareness of fire safety measures in the field, directing to overall safer communes both on and off the job site.
Finally, with this additional knowledge under their belt, workers can feel confident and empowered to help enforce fire safety codes and protocols for a safer, more compliant work environment.
effective training when and where needed
The NFPA online learning capacity ensures that employees far and wide have access to the training necessary to help ensure compliance with NFPA 241, Standard for Safeguarding Construction, Alteration, and Demolition Operations, which calls for construction projects to have a fire prevention program and a designated manager to enforce it.
The ability to take this training online provides workers with the opportunity to complete the modules on their own time.
self-paced approach
Employees have the flexibility to complete the training series on their own time without sacrificing their work
This self-paced approach limits employee burnout typically caused by longer training programs.
Because the training can be completed during downtime, employees have the flexibility to complete the training series on their own time without sacrificing their work.
preparing for future fire safety mandates
Though this mandate was instated by the Boston Fire Department, this local construction company has workers operating out of various locations across New England and beyond, and the fluidity of staffing at these locations means that all workers need to be up to speed on the latest codes to help ensure compliance in the various locations where they work.
By having a better understanding of safety culture and a common language with which they can communicate safety protocols and procedures, workers around the globe are better equipped to reduce the risk of fire and other hazards, thus better-protecting people and property.
