Fire fighting equipment

Eire equipment Fire alarm and fire-fighting equipment must be regularly inspected, maintained and tested Portable extinguishers to have designated locations/be of correct type. Instructions must be provided as to where and how to use them. Practice is necessary... 

In case of fire, use. . . (indicate in the space the precise type of fire-fighting equipment. If water increases the risk, add - Never use water)... 

Action in the event of fire and fire-fighting equipment to be used... 

Apply to all workplaces, unless specifically excepted, and require a fire risk assessment where necessary, appropriate fire-fighting equipment with detectors and alarms measures for fire-fighting emergency routes and exits maintenance of equipment provided. 

Fire and smoke detectors and fire-fighting equipment. 

These are the basic formulas for the usual installation, with good drainage and available fire-fighting equipment. These formulas are plotted on Figure 7-30 showing curv es for Q for various values of factor F. The approximate amount of insulation corresponding to the factors is indicated. 

Fire drills are very much in order in most laboratories. When the signal is given, all workers should shut down their equipment and leave in a quick and orderly manner. Some employees may be assigned to fire extinguishers or other fire fighting equipment. The speed with which this is accomplished is important and may be timed wdth a stopwatch. After the drill, a supervisor may want to check on how well the equipment was secured... 

Correct method of calling the fire service The location and use of fire-fighting equipment Knowledge of the escape routes... 

Limitation of the loss. The damage and injury caused if an incident occurs pressure relief, plant layout, provision of fire-fighting equipment. 

The term engineered safety covers the provision in the design of control systems, alarms, trips, pressure-relief devices, automatic shut-down systems, duplication of key equipment services and fire-fighting equipment, sprinkler systems and blast walls, to contain any fire or explosion. 

Those that reduce the scale of a potential incident such as measures for fire protection, and fixed fire fighting equipment.

Fire fighting equipment should be mounted at heights that are easily accessible by the average person. This includes portable fire extinguishers, hose connections to fire hydrants, access to emergency shutoff valves, emergency stop/ESD push buttons, etc. 

Fire Fighting - Those giving information or instructions about fire prevention and fire fighting equipment (e g., No Smoking, no open lights, etc.). 

GMT can be preferred to SMC for small or medium runs in the automotive industry. For example, German fire-fighting equipment manufacturer Rosenbauer is using ther-moformed sheet (multilayer ABS/PMMA) instead of hand-laid GRP. The cost of a body panel can be cut by 30% if the number of parts - in Three-digit quantities - is sufficient to justify the investment in thermoforming tools.

Ample fire-fighting equipment should be available In the immediate vicinity and die ground should be wet down at the close of each day s operation Refs 1) US Army, Chief of Ordnance,... 

Fire Brigade An organization of industrial plant personnel who are trained to use the fire fighting equipment and to carry out tire prevention activities within the plant. 

If fire is detected before the explosives are involved, prompt action with suitable fire-fighting equipment should be taken to prevent development of a serious accident. 

All storage buildings should be equipped with an efficient lightning conductor and fire-fighting equipment. 

Flammable These compounds have a low flash point, and those which react with water or damp air to give rise to flammable gases (e.g. hydrogen) from metal hydrides. Ignition sources include Bunsen burners, hot metal surfaces, electric sparks, etc. Fire fighting equipment should be readily available and frequently checked. 

The pile must be maintained properly. If the pile is not "live storage" (first in, first out), the pile could pose a potential health hazard due to rodent and insect infestations. The potential of a tire pile fire is always a possibility, and fire fighting equipment and access to the pile is important. 

Manufacture of power-driven pumps, compressors, refrigeration units, and fire fighting equipment... 

Instruments designed to detect and warn about leaks, acetone escapes and small fires before they become serious, and maybe even trigger automatic fire-fighting equipment, can also be installed. 

In addition to good, a fire crew is organized and trained in emergency procedures and in the use of fire fighting equipment...
