Flowchart and Policy Procedure
Part 1:
Fire Science Students: For this assignment, you will create a flowchart that identifies the process that a fire department or fire prevention agency goes through to gain its enforcement authority. Be sure to include information about how the department or agency was created through legislative actions, including laws, rules, regulations, and codes. Explain what fire prevention organizations and associations are applicable to local authority. Then, explain how the department or agency’s fire prevention power is carried through to the local level to provide authoritative power for fire inspectors at the state and local levels. Explain how this fire prevention role aligns with the national fire problem. Define what fire prevention functions should be required.
Occupational Safety and Health (OSH) Students: For this assignment, you will create a flowchart that identifies the individual within your organization who holds fire prevention authority and to whom you report for fire prevention activities. You will then identify the process that this individual went through to obtain their authority as well as identify the policy-makers or stakeholders who drive the safety and fire prevention mission for your organization. Be sure to include the laws, rules, regulations, and codes that were referred to when the process was developed. Make sure to highlight the roles and responsibilities of those positions of the flowchart as well as their responsibilities in the creation of local policies or laws.
Part 2:
Both classifications of students will develop operational guidelines and policies that outline a simple timetable for retaining fire prevention records for their organizations.
