HAZARD: Anything that has the capability to cause harm or pose a threat to life, health, property or the environment.

During a fire disaster everyone's safety is most important.  It is important to get everyone out of the building and away from the fire.  After a fire is put out it still extremely important to take safety measures until your home or business is restored. When restoring a home or business after a fire, it is critical to identify potential health or safety hazards. 

Hazards after a fire may include:

• Electrical hazards
• Respiratory hazards
• structural hazards
• chemical hazards
• slip, trip, fall hazards

It is important to point out ALL hazards that may leave someone hurt or even sick.  Anyone preforming services or on site during a fire restoration should wear personal protective equipment (PPE). This equipment should be well cared for and can prevent injury and  health risks.
