Community Right to Know
Increasing the percentage of facilities submitting the Hazardous Substance Information Survey in a timely manner improves community’s safety and economic well-being. Planning and preparing for response to hazardous substance incidents reduces the community’s risk of loss caused by these incidents.
Fire & Life Safety
By increasing the knowledge, skills and abilities of local fire department personnel in fire inspection methodology and prevention practices, a larger number of facilities around the state will be inspected. The resulting increase in identification and abatement of hazards in facilities will reduce the level of fire in commercial and public buildings.
Public Education
By increasing the installation and maintenance of smoke alarms in residences, there will be a decrease in the death rate and civilian fire injury rate because residents will have early warning that a fire has occurred.
