Fire precautions protection measures

Fire safety is an integral part of fire precautions, which aim to minimise the number of fires and the damage from them. These measures hinder the initiation of fires, limit their propagation and, if possible, exclude fiashover. Preventing fires or delaying them makes escape possible over a longer period of time. As a result, life, health and property are efficiently protected. 

Fire precautions are the measures taken in the provision of the fire protection in a building or in other situations to minimise the risk to the occupants, contents and structure from an outbreak of fire. 

Fire-fighting measures Suitable (and unsuitable) extinguishing media. Specific hazards arising from the chemical (e.g. nature of any hazardous combustion products). Special protective equipment and precautions for firefighters. 

Having identified the risks to the organisation and its assets, the function of risk management is to determine the probability or likelihood of the risks arising and the severity of the outcome in each case. It could follow that the risk could be controlled, in the case of a fire risk, by the installation of a better fire protection system, e.g. sprinkler system, automatic fire alarm, etc. and improved safety precautions. The implementation of these measures frequently results in some form of savings in the long term, such as insurance premium reductions, cash grants and tax allowances. 

Handling, Storage, and Precautions avoid contact with skin and eyes. Avoid formation of dust and aerosols. Provide appropriate exhaust ventilation at places where dust is formed. Normal measures for preventive fire protection. Store in cool place. Keep container tightly closed in a dry and well-ventilated place.
