Are You in the Line of Fire?

The success of the Line of Fire Program in any company is a function of a strong commitment to thorough implementation. Companies that implement the program become part of a broader community of practice in the prevention of serious injuries and fatalities.

The Line of Fire Program is designed to encourage worker engagement. It begins with a plan followed by the roll out of activity packages where feedback and worker discussions are facilitated and follow-up is conducted. Supportive actions include conducting hazard hunts and work site inspections as well as ongoing continuous improvement of the program.

The Line of Fire Program contains the following:

  • Implementation Procedure
  • Readiness Checklist
  • Inspection Forms
  • Tools and Supporting Forms
  • Activity Packages

The program is structured into three categories:

Stored energy including pressure releases

Striking hazards including dropped objects
