The
Safety Alert system is intended as another mechanism to provide safety
related information to the field in the shortest possible timeframes. It
is a web-based system that sends the alerts as an email message to a
list of recipients within each agency.
Those recipients are in turn expected to forward the message as
soon as possible to subordinates, coworkers and interested parties
within their organization. The
expectation is that the messages will continue to be forwarded within
the appropriate fire and safety communities, down to the lowest
levels, and that they will receive a wide distribution in a short
period of time.
There
are three levels of Safety Alerts:
-
Safety
Warning-
A warning of a safety hazard that poses an imminent threat to life
or property.
-
Safety
Advisory-
An advisory on safety information that isn't related to imminent
or potential threats of injury.
-
Safety
Bulletin-
A factual confirmation of a serious accident, incident or
fatality.
