Fire Safety & Emergency Action Plan
Fire safety plan addressing salon-specific risks including flammable chemicals, electrical equipment, and aerosol storage.
What this document covers
Salons store multiple categories of flammable materials: aerosol hairsprays, alcohol-based sanitizers, acetone, chemical solvents, and use high-wattage electrical equipment (dryers, flat irons, curling irons, autoclaves). OSHA requires an Emergency Action Plan for all employers with 10+ employees, and many local fire codes apply to smaller businesses. This plan covers fire prevention, evacuation, and emergency response specific to salon hazards.
Key sections included
- Flammable chemical storage requirements
- Aerosol can storage limits (NFPA 30B)
- Electrical equipment safety protocols
- Fire extinguisher placement and training
- Evacuation routes and assembly points
- Emergency communication procedures
- Fire drill schedule
- Client evacuation procedures
Frequently asked questions
How many fire extinguishers does my salon need?
OSHA requires one within 50 feet of any Class B (flammable liquid) hazard. Most salons need at least one Class ABC extinguisher per 3,000 sq ft, plus one near chemical storage areas.
How should I store aerosol cans?
NFPA 30B limits storage to 500 lbs per 100 sq ft in Level 2 and 3 aerosol areas. Keep aerosols in a cool, well-ventilated area away from heat sources. Don't store above 120°F.
