SAFETY:
It is a condition which gives you freedom from
hazard, risk, accident, unsafe act
which may cause injury, damage And loss to
material or property damage and even death.
Safety is not a intellectual exercise to keep us in
work , it is sum of our contribution
to safety management
Summary 1 : DON’T LEARN SAFETY BY ACCIDENTS

5. 5
How to achieve Safety ?
Broadly it is grouped in to 5 Es methods;
1)Engineering - Process Control
2)Enforcement -Rules & Procedures
3)Education - Training
4)Enthusiasm -Behavioral Aspect
5)Evaluation - Audit, Mock Drills
RESULT’S: 95% OF ACCIDENTS BEEN
AVOIDED AT INTIAL STAGE

FIRE CHEMISTRY :
HEAT: Heat energy sufficient to cause ignition
.(flash point)??
OXIDIZING AGENT: air containing oxygen (%)??
FUEL: Any substance that can combust(
depends on)

8. 8
FIRE EXTINGUISHER:
WHY??..WHEN??..HOW??
Fire extinguishers are designed to do just
that.
Starvation - Removal of fuel
Smothering - Removal of oxygen
Cooling - Removal of heat
Remove any one of the three
components and fire cannot start or be

FIRE EXTINGUISHER
USING TECHNIQUE:
AT WHAT DISTANCE
EXTINGUISHER USED??

10. 10
Combustible materials
(wood, paper, fabric, any
solid trash)
Flammable liquids
Petrochemicals, Paints
Flammable gases
Flammable metals:
Lithium and Potassium,
magnesium, Calcium, Zinc,
Titanium and Zirconium
Electrical fire
Cooking oils and fats
(Kitchen fire)

FIRE EXTINGUISHER
LABELING:
Labeling on the fire extinguisher identifies
which class of fire it is appropriate for;
Class A,B,C,D or K and instructions on how
to use it.
EXAMPLES:?? AND THEIR EFFECTS

12. 12
TYPES OF FIRE
EXTINGUISHER:
Dry Chemical
Dry Chemical is the most widely used type
of fire extinguisher and is also recognized
as a multi-purpose ABC fire extinguisher.
MIXTURE OF: ??

13. 13
Carbon Dioxide
Works by separating oxygen and heat.
Usually ineffective against class A fires.
Foam Type
Works by cooling the fire and coating the
fuel. Foam extinguishers create a foam
barrier preventing the fuel from coming in
contact with oxygen.

14. 14
DRY POWDER:
Works by separating fuel from oxygen
and/or removing heat
Effectiveness is based on the type of class
D fire it is designed to extinguish.
effective on class A,B,C,D fires etc...
WET CHEMICAL:
Works by forming a soapy foam blanket
over the burning material and cooling it
below it’s ignition temperature.
APPLICATION: COOKING FIRE’S/ OILS AND

Fire Extinguisher
Locations
Fire extinguishers are located throughout
the workplace and readily accessible in the
event of a fire.
Employees should take the time to learn
the locations of the fire extinguishers in
their workplace.
DO NOT OBSTRUCT:

16. 16
What to do incase of fire emergency:
Actions to take when a fire is discovered….
The Three A's (Activate, Assist, Attempt).

17. 17
Important rules and periodic
trainings:
Obstructed Access & IMPORTANT!!- CHECK REFILLING STATUS
AND SERVICE STATUS
Not Labeled
Not Mounted TRAINING AWARENESS:
• Types of fire extinguishers
• How to use an extinguisher
• Location of fire extinguishers
• Extinguisher limitations
HANDS ON TRAINING AND MOCK DRILLS IS REQUIRED!

Here are some dangerous thoughts
Do you ever think this way?
• I have been doing this job for years and have not
faced an accident yet. (OVER CONFIDENCE)
• There is no need for safety glasses because I am
only going to be grinding for a few seconds.
(MIS CALCULATION)
• I’ll clean it up later. (LAZINESS)
• I’ll stack this in front of the exit and pick it up later.
• Anyone who is able to drive a car can manage to
drive any vehicle! (FORK LITS)
• Why bother about it. (NEGLEGANCE)

19. 19
Don’t try to
change the
people….
Change the
environment
i.e. method of working,
training, instructions,
supervision, inspection
& Safety culture
to
have ZERO tolerance for
Accident
