Causes of Fire

Electrical equipment - arcing, sparks, hot surfaces created by defective electrical equipment.

Spontaneous ignition - when some liquids are heated or sprayed onto a hot surface, they may ignite without an ignition source being present

Spontaneous combustion - when materials react with oxygen an exothermic reaction takes place, i.e. heat is emitted. May cause the material to ignite or burst into flames

Smoking - discarded smoking materials. Smoking in dangerous areas, e.g. flammable vapours present

Sparks - act as a source of ignition. Friction between surfaces where a machine contact a fixed part or two surfaces rubbing or sliding together during machine operation, e.g. grinders

Hot work - welding, soldering, hot cutting, brazing. Source of ignition, be careful where flammable vapours are present. Permit to work system is necessary when not in a workshop

Static electricity - electrostatic charging is produced by induction or friction, the charge can be carried away from the source, accumulated charge can be a source of ignition

Vehicles - maintenance and parking areas. Diesel and petrol engines, emissions, and hot surfaces, e.g. exhaust system can be a source of ignition

Open flames - many sources, e.g. boilers, furnaces, portable heating appliances, pilot lights. Poorly maintained or incorrectly used equipment can be a source of ignition

Lightning - source of ignition, protection by direct earthing

Arson - high-risk, e.g. 75% of school fires are caused by arson

Lack of management systems - no appropriate detection systems, means of raising the alarm. Poor housekeeping, no training etc.

Chemical reactions

Means of Fighting Fire

And also providing fire extinguishers for hot work, fire extinguishers should be located at determined fire points surrounding the site. The extinguishers should be appropriate to the size of the potential fire:

• wood, paper and cloth – water extinguisher;

• flammable liquids – dry powder or foam extinguisher;

• electrical – carbon dioxide (CO2) extinguisher

Nominated people should be trained in the way to use extinguishers.

If the building being worked in is occupied (eg an office, hotel or hospital), make sure the work does not interfere with the escape route from the building, or any type of fire splitting up, alarms, dry risers, or sprinkler systems. Check this with the building occupier or the Fire Atelier.

Fire doors should never be locked, left wide open or removed. Keep existing wet and dry risers ready for use and install any new ones as soon as possible.

Principles of an Alarm System

Sounding an alarm in the event of fire and fighting the fire arrangement must be made at all the workplaces.

There are many systems for raising an alarm on detecting an outbreak of fire, ranging from simple hand bells (or even just shouting) to sophisticated electronically-­triggered systems. However, whatever system is employed, all staff must know how to raise an alarm on discovering fire and what to do when the fire alarm sounds.

The general principles of an alarm system are shown below.

METHODS OF EXTINGUISHING FIRES

Method	Aim	Means
Remove Oxygen	Smother the fire.	Introduces a barrier between the fuel and the oxygen, e.g. a lid, mineral fibre blanket, foam, sand or carbon dioxide.
Remove Heat	Reduce the temperature of the fuel (and surroundings) to below the ignition temperature.	Uses water, etc. Some of the heat is transferred to the water and some is used up during the conversion of water to steam.
Remove Fuel	Shut off the supply of flammable gases or liquids.	Uses of valves, etc.

There are two main types of fire extinguishing systems: 

Fixed Installations, e.g. sprinkler, foam spray and gas flood systems; 

Portable Extinguishers, e.g. hand held or on a wheeled trolley.

FIRE PREVENTION IN YOUR WORKPLACE: RECOVERING FIRE SAFETY ACTIONS

Flames can create huge destruction in the workplace. In the event that it's not too bad, it causes minor injuries or none at all. If it's a significant one, it results in serious injuries and even deaths.

• Consistently discard ignitable debris and scrap from your work range. 
• Stack and heap all materials in systematic and stable heaps. 
• Continuously perform assessment systems before performing operations that present flame risks like welding.
• Never heap or lay material in a way that it covers or squares access to firefighting gear. 
• Make an intermittent clean-up of whole work site and hold grass and weeds under control.
• Utilize just approved containers and tanks for capacity, taking care of, and transport of burnable and combustible fluid. 
• Make a point to utilize just affirmed compartments for the partition and transfer of ignitable cannot. Keep in mind to dependably supplant the cover.
• Never let superfluous burnable materials get aggregated in any piece of your work area.

• Prohibit smoking at or around work ranges where fire risks are available. Set up signs, saying NO SMOKING or OPEN FLAMES. 
• Place a satisfactory number of firefighting gear on display in your work regions. Whenever suitable, mark the area of every one and ensure it is appropriately evaluated.
• Post reporting guidelines and neighborhood Fire Department codes on information sheets, common areas, and ranges close to the telephone.

Fire Risk Assessment

The Fire Risk Assessment is a important method for avoiding fire in the working environment. 

It enables employers to identify and protect staff against any known flame dangers, by creating powerful techniques - for example plotting how to store and utilize such materials securely.

A number of steps must be followed to conduct a Fire Risk Assessment: 

Step 1: Recognize the fire hazards, distinguish sources of ignition, fuel and oxygen.

Step 2: Identify the people at danger. This includes any individual who is in or around the premises, for example, employees, contractors, visitors,customers, and others.

Care must be taken to distinguish individuals who are at specific danger - for children, youngsters, the elderly or anybody with an inability.

Step 3: Evaluate, evacuate or decrease and secure those at danger. Assess the danger of a fire and the risk to people from fire.

Evacuate or decrease hazards and the danger. Protect by giving fire precautions,

equipment and by procedures.

Step 4: Record, arrange, advise and prepare. 

Record the significant findings and the activity that has been taken. Talk about and offer the findings with others. Develop an emergency arrangement in the case of a flame. Inform relevant people and provide training.

Step 5: Review the fire risk assessment regularly.

Review your fire risk assessment plan regularly to ensure it remains relevant and up-to-date. Update and change your arrangement if required.
