The National Safety Council hasestimated that fires and severe burns accounted for 3.3 percent of all occupational fatalities. In building fires, smoke is acknowledged as the most significant cause of death, injury, and property loss.

Fires at home and in the workplace are often deadly because they spread so quickly. It is critical that homes and workplaces have fire detection systems, fire safety routes, including designated exits, and fire extinguishing systems.

When Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) inspects workplaces, it determines whether employers are complying with OSHA standards for fire safety.  Most notably, OSHA Standards (29 CFR § 1910) require employers to provide:

• proper exits 
• fire fighting equipment 
• employee training to prevent fire deaths and injuries in the workplace. 

Burn Injury Liability

To help recover money to pay for the extensive financial impacts that burn injuries cause – aside from the physical, mental, and social destruction such injuries wreak on their victims -- a lawsuit may be filed against the responsible parties involved:

• Employer 
• • In Florida, this applies only if the conduct is found to be intentional 
• Manufacturer or assembler of the flammable building materials 
• The suppliers of components or parts of the building which were highly flammable or started the fire 
• Architects who designed the building 
• Engineers who helped design or build the building 
• Manufacturers or installers of faulty fire protection equipment, including extinguishers or extinguishing systems
