Awareness

Prevention is the best defense against fires

Prevention starts with good housekeeping practices:◦Neatness◦Work area free of debris i.e. oil, grease, solvents and

similar materials ◦Not overloaded outlets◦No broken or cracked electrical cords◦Fire safety equipment in good condition◦Replace burned out exit lights◦Close propped opened fire doors◦Do not block stairways

Prevention

How Does a Fire Work?

• All three fire triangle components are needed for a fire to start/continue burning:

• oxygen, heat and fuel.

• Fire extinguishers remove one or more of these components

Classes of Fire Extinguishers

• Class A o Wood, paper, cloth, trash, etc… (A - Ash)

• Class B o Flammable liquids, oil, gas, grease, etc...(B - Barrel)

• Class C o Energized electrical equipment (C - Circuit)

• Class Do Used for combustible metal fires: Magnesium, Titanium,

Zirconium, Tantalum, Lithium, and Sodium

CSP uses Titanium in various parts of the process.

Use of fire extinguishers Use the PASS method

◦ Pull pin◦ Aim at base of fire◦ Squeeze handle◦ Sweep at base of fire

Aim at base of the fire

Fire extinguishers have limited operation time - 8 to 10 seconds

Time is of the essence

5c

Remain calm - assess the situation Report the fire and use the right type of

extinguisher Inspect all the Fire Extinguishers Monthly and

Annually Report

◦ If Fire extinguisher has been used.◦ If charge is low◦ Malfunction or damage of the fire extinguisher

“Safety is everyone's responsibility”

Use blankets, tarps as shield7a

Flammable liquids can ignite spontaneously in the presence of :

Open flames Smoking materials Sparks

Compressed gases can ignite when Not properly stored Cylinders are dragged or rolled
