PRESENTATION IN FIRE SAFETY MANAGEMENT IN PPT

1. Fire Safety MANAGEMENT

2. Introduction
Fires ravage 28,000 industrial facilities each year,
causing $596 million in direct property damage.
Ninety percent of these fires can be attributed to
human errors. Fires can be prevented with an
awareness of the hazards and safe work practices.
These include: good housekeeping practices,
proper procedures when handling flammable
material, what to do if a fire breaks out, and the
proper use of fire extinguishers.

3. Learning outcome:
•Understand the role and responsibilities of fire
representatives
•Understanding of types of fire and causes of fire
•Understanding of firefighting equipment
•Understanding of Use of Fire Fighting Equipment
•Understand the fire risk assessment

9. The Elements of Fire
A fire needs three elements to exist: oxygen, heat and
fuel. Fuel is anything that will burn when exposed to
heat. It can be a solid, liquid or gas. Fuel sources include
paper, wood, oil, grease, chemicals, and flammable
liquids. The leading heat sources that could cause these
fuel sources to burn include electricity, cigarettes, cutting
and welding, sparks from tools, and friction.To prevent a
fire from occurring, you need to eliminate any of the
elements needed for a fire to exist.

COURSE OBJECTIVES

13. BASIS FOR THIS COURSE
 Employers are Responsible for Employee Safety.
 Fire is One of the Most Common Industrial Accidents.
 3 Billion Dollars Per Year Are Lost Due to Fire.
 300 Workers Per Year Lose Their Lives Due to Fire.
 Training Greatly Lessens the Probability of Fire.
 This Training Helps Improve:
 Safety
 Morale
 Productivity
 Employee well-being

14. WHY WE NEED
FIRE EXTINGUISHER TRAINING
Over 150 Major Fires Occur in Workplaces on an
Annual Basis. Fire Is the Third Leading Cause of
Accidental Deaths in the United States. OSHA 29
CFR 1910.157 (Portable Fire Extinguishers and Their
Use) Requires That "Employers Shall Provide
Portable Fire Extinguishers and Shall Mount, Locate,
and Identify Them So That They Are Readily
Accessible to Employees Without Subjecting
Employees to Possible Injury."

17. THE CLASSIFICATIONS OF FIRE
Portable fire extinguishers are provided
for employee use and selected and
distributed based on the classes of
anticipated workplace fires and on the
size and degree of the hazard which
would affect their use. Fire extinguishers
are designed for four classes of fires:
D

18.  Class - A Wood, paper, cloth, rubber, some plastics.
 Class - B Gasoline, kerosene, paint, propane.
 Class - C Electrical equipment.
 Class - D Metals like magnesium, titanium, sodium

19. TRAINING IS IMPORTANT
 Reduce the Probability of Fire.
 Reduce Injury and Illness Rates.
 Acceptance of High-Turnover Jobs.
 Workers Feel Better About their Work.
 Reduce Workers’ Compensation Costs.
 Elevate OSHA Compliance to a Higher
Level.

23. INSPECTING A FIRE EXTINGUISHER
 INSPECTION REQUIREMENTS:
 Inspect fire extinguishers once per month.
 Inspect more often if local fire codes require it.
 Have fire extinguishers serviced once per year.
 Service more often if local codes require it.
 Document the monthly inspections on the card.

24.  If you have no escape route.
 If the fire begins to significantly spread.
 If the extinguisher proves to be ineffective.
 If there is a choice between life and property.
 If you’re unsure if you can handle the situation.
 If you are injured and it will impede your
escape.
 If the extinguisher is not designed for the type
fire.
WHEN NOT TO FIGHT A FIRE
 WHEN TO CALL FOR HELP!:

25. Plan for Fire Emergencies...
 Have you ever stayed at a hotel and taken the time to
look at the evacuation plan posted on the inside of
the room door?
 Think about the following, you’re awakened at 3am
from a sound sleep to hear this loud whistling sound
or horn blaring. As you begin to wake up you smell
smoke and suddenly you are no longer sleepy.

26. In Case of Fire...
 Remain calm. Don’t panic or cause confusion.
NEVER shout fire.
 Proceed safely to nearest fire exit
 Feel surfaces of doors before opening
 Crawl to exit if smoke is present in area
 Follow instructions of Fire Department
 Remember R.A.C.E. and P.A.S.S.

27. Fire Drills...
Fire doors are designed to withstand fire,
heat and smoke for a period of 20-
minutes to 3 hours.
 Did you know that corridor doors are
fire doors and should have a 20
minute rating?
 Corridor laboratory doors should
have a 60 minute rating.
 Fire Doors are required to:
 Be Self Closing: fire doors should
a door closure that pulls doors
completely shut after the door has
been opened
 Have Positive latching: a positive
locks a door in place so can open
swing open freely.

28. R.A.C.E. for
Fire Safety...
Rescue anyone in immediate danger.
Activate the fire alarm pull station
Contain the fire
Extinguish the fire, if your safety can
be assured

29. P.A.S.S. for Fire
Extinguisher Use...
Pull the pin
Aim at base of the fire
Squeeze the handles together
Sweep from side to side

30. Fire prevention
 Through proper safety training
 Good maintenance of electrical and
mobile equipment
 Good housekeeping
 Proper storage and clean up of
combustible and flammable liquids
 Good communications between
management, labor, state and federal
agencies
 Basically “all fires” in the mining industry
can be avoided

31. The Fire Triangle
Now represents the “smoldering” mode of combustion.
Three things are needed for conditions to be right for
a fire to get started.

32. What about the By-products of the Fire?
 Carbon Monoxide-Incomplete combustion-
poisonous
 Carbon Dioxide-Complete combustion-displaces
oxygen
 Diesel Particulate Matter-unburned diesel fuel-
carcinogen(cancer causing)
 Carcinogen products-products from the
chemicals to treat belts and cables to be flame
resistant, however will be releases at high
temperatures of a fire.
 Smoke-unburned materials-can contain all of the

33. Classification of extinguishers
Type(s) of fire
it can put out
How much fire a
“lay person” can
put out
For example, a 5:A will put out five square foot surface area of Class A
fire
A 20:BC will put out a twenty square foot surface area of Class B or C
fire.
A properly trained person can extinguish 2 to 3 times the amount listed
