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.
