HEAT : The degree necessary to vaporize fuel according to it’s nature. OXYGEN : Normally at least 15% of oxygen in the air is required to sustain a fire. The greater the concentration of oxygen, the brighter the blaze and the more rapid the combustion. FIRE FACTS Slide 3: FIRE’S ARE CLASSIFIED INTO FOUR TYPES, ACCORDING TO WHAT IS BURNING. EACH TYPES REQUIRES SPECIAL CONTROLS : TYPES OF FIRE AND CONTROL CLASS A : Fires ( generally combustibles such as wood, wood, cloth, paper or rubbish) are usually controlled by cooling – for instance, using water to cool the material. CLASS B : Fires ( flammable liquids such as gasoline, oil, grease or paint ) are usually smothered by oxygen control- using foam, carbon dioxide or dry chemical. Slide 4: TYPES OF FIRE AND CONTROL CLASS C : Fires due to Gases such as LPG , Acetylene and Butane are usually smothered by dry powder and CO2. CLASS D : Fires occur in combustible metals such as magnesium, lithium or sodium and require special extinguishers and techniques. Slide 5: How To Prevent Fire ( Checklist ) know where fire extinguishers are kept, what each is for and how to use them. maintain a neat, clean work area and prevent accumulation of rubbish. put oil-soaked and paint-soaked rags in covered metal containers. observe all “no-smoking” signs. Slide 6: How To Prevent Fire ( Checklist ) con’t keep fire doors, exits, stairs, aisles, fire lanes and fire fighting equipment clear of obstruction. keep all flammable materials away from furnaces an other sources of ignition report any fire hazards you that are beyond your control, especially electrical hazards, which are the source of many fires. obey “no smoking” signs, dispose of cigarettes and matches by placing them in the proper receptacles, and make sure they are extinguished. Slide 7: How To Prevent Fire ( Checklist ) con’t we should watch for frayed electrical cords and overloaded circuits and dispose of flammables waste and scrap by placing them in metal containers. store combustibles in safe area. remove combustible materials and fumes from paint, solvents and other flammables. if you should ever have occasion to dispose of flammable liquids, don’t pour them down the drain. if you should have to burn waste paper, make sure it doesn’t contain explosive materials such as aerosol or paint cans. Slide 8: How To Prevent Fire ( Checklist ) con’t Fire alarm procedures my be reviewed. proper maintenance procedures are important to fire safety. keep mechanical equipment properly lubricated to avoid excessive friction. Ensure heater used in the workplace is away from flammable materials and cannot be tipped over. Slide 9: Leading Causes of Industrial Fires Electrical failure and misuse of electrical equipment Friction Foreign substances Open flames Smoking Matches Slide 10: Result of Fire Industrial fires result not only in economic lost but in much human suffering as well. Slide 11: How To React The Fires Set off the alarm Leave the area if the fire is too big to handle Deal with a small fire Know your fire exits Do not use the elevator but the staircase When leaving, crawl on your hands and knees to the exits CLASSES OF FIRE : CLASSES OF FIRE Class (A) Fires : ordinary combustibles example : wood, paper or cloth Class (B) Fires : flammable and combustibles example : oil, gasoline, solvents and paints Class (C ) Fires : electric power example : energized electrical equipment Class (D) Fires : chemical example : combustible metals such as magnesium, sodium and potassium. Slide 13: PREPARING FOR DISASTER Familiarise yourself with the disaster plan review it frequently. Know what action you and others working in your immediate environment should take in response to the various types of disaster in the plan. Participate in emergency / disaster drills ; they very important part of planning for disasters. In fact, the very best plans may not be helpful at all if they are not rehearsed. In the event that a disaster does occur, carry out your responsibilities as indicated by the disaster plan without delay ; be alert for additional instructions. Slide 14: Tornado’s If a tornado warning is issued, you should move to interior corridors and close doors to rooms that have windows. You should remain in the interior corridors and wait for further instructions. Should conditions require it, you may be requested to move to lower levels of the building. Slide 15: Bomb Threads Keep the caller on the phone as long as possible and signal to someone else to notify the operator on another line that a bomb threat is made. Try to get information about the “ bomb from the caller, such as the type of bomb and where it is located, but don’t be pushy”. Avoid excitement in your voice. Write down the detailed account of the call and deliver it to security immediately. The account should include: time of call and voice quality. Slide 16: Bomb Threads ( con’t) An accent ( if noted), and slurred speech ( suggesting influence of alcohol or drugs). Keep the call confidential, unless you are instructed by the security officers to do otherwise. Bomb threats, understandably, tend to make people panic. Report any suspicious – looking devices to security. Explosive devices can have a variety of appearances, depending upon whether they are military (rare), commercial or home – made. Do not touch suspicious – looking devices. WEATHER EMERGENCIES : WEATHER EMERGENCIES Weather emergencies cannot be prevented, therefore an emergency preparedness plan is needed to protect lives, properties and the environment. Be prepared and protected. WEATHER EMERGENCIESspecific danger signal to watch for : WEATHER EMERGENCIESspecific danger signal to watch for Severe thunderstorms with frequent lightning, heavy rain, strong winds and power failure Hail – pellets of ice from dark – clouded skies Roaring noise Threatening sky Mass media announcement WEATHER EMERGENCIESwhen tornado warning is given: : WEATHER EMERGENCIESwhen tornado warning is given: Take cover – in ditches, ravines, culverts with covering the head Avoid standing in small isolated structures Abandon mobile homes Avoid telephones Avoid projecting above landscapes –golf field, beach, sea Avoid metal contact – golf stick, vechicles without covers, clothes line etc. FIRE SAFETY IS YOUR CONTRIBUTION TO YOUR JOB SECURITY : FIRE SAFETY IS YOUR CONTRIBUTION TO YOUR JOB SECURITY You do not have the permission to view this presentation.
