Personal Protection EquipmentPersonal Protection Equipment1. PPE stands for Personal Protective Equipment. Items such as gloves and safety shoos

are PPE. This is the equipment that protects you against hazards in the workplace.

Fire FightingFire Fighting

Fire safety is just one of many safety issues

management must address to minimise the risk

of injury or death to staff or the public. Unlike most of the other safety concerns, fire has the

potential to injure or kill large numbers of people very quickly. This Section is concerned only

with fire safety, but many of the measures discussed here will impact upon other safety issues,

and vice versa. It is recognised that these differing safety demands can sometimes affect one

another and management should consult other interested agencies, such as the Health and Safety

Executive (HSE), where necessary to confirm that they are not contravening other

legislation/guidance.


Fire componentsFire components


Major causes of fires Major causes of fires

1. Carelessness with smoking and matches

2. Misuse of electricity ( overloading circuit or overuse of extension cords(

3. Improper rubbish disposal

4. Improper storage of flammables ( such as gasoline )

5. Arson


Fire preventionFire prevention

1. Proper rubbish disposal and put it in the appropriate place away from heat sources.

2. Periodic maintenance for electrical connections

3. Never install a fuse rated higher than specified for the circuit.

4. Check and report for any crushed or split cords or plugs

5. Investigate any appliance or electrical equipment that smells strange. Unusual odors can be the first sign of a potential fire.

6. Smoking in designated areas and make sure to extinguish the cigarette butts and throwing them away.

7. Keep flammable liquids stored in tightly closed container and away from spark production source

8. Use flammable liquids only in well ventilation areas.

9. Shouldn’t store in high level near from electrical lamps

10. Make sure that there is fire extinguishers and valid to use


When you notice a fireWhen you notice a fire

1. Pull the nearest fire alarm.

2. EVACUATE!

3. Dial 112 emergency number.

4. Don’t assume that anyone else has already called the fire department.

5. Keep calm and be prepared to answer the operator’s questions regarding the emergency.


When you hear the fire alarm

1. Leave at once, taking direction from the emergency warden.

2. Do not delay yourself by gathering personal items. Your safety always comes first.

3. Before you open any door, feel the door with the back of your hand. If the door is cold, slowly open it a crack.

4. If there is no smoke in hallways or stairwells, follow your building’s evacuation plan. Get out quickly using designated fire exits.

5. Close doors behind you, however do NOT lock the door. Locking the door hinders the fire department’s search and rescue efforts.

6. The stairway will be your primary escape route. Never, never use elevators under any circumstances.

7. Once in the stairway, proceed down to the first floor and out of the building. Never go up.
