Study Notes
Fire Safety
- Causes of Fire: Natural causes (animal, self-ignition), technical causes (negligence, arson)
- Fire Classifications:
- Class A: Fires involving ordinary materials (paper, straw, textiles, plastics)
- Class B: Fires involving flammable liquids (petrol, diesel, paint) and gases (methane, propane)
- Class C: Fires involving electrically energized equipment (computers, radios, toasters)
- Class D: Fires involving combustible metals (magnesium, aluminum, lithium, sodium, potassium)
- Class K: Fires in cooking appliances with combustible cooking media (cooking oil, fat, greases)
- Stages of Fire:
- First: Ignition (joining of the three components)
- Second: Incipient (fire can be extinguished)
- Third: Growth (fire becomes the heat source, and nearby fuels ignite)
- Fourth: Fully Developed (entire area on fire, temperature reaches 1000°C)
- Fifth: Full Fire (objects around fire reach ignition temp)
- Sixth: Flashover (objects ignite without direct contact)
- Seventh: Decay/Burnout (fuel runs out, oxygen depletes)
Putting out Fires
- Cooling: Decreases the burning material's temperature.
- Smothering: Limits oxygen supply.
- Starvation: Removes the fuel source.
- Break the combustion process: Interrupt the chemical chain reaction ignition.
Fire Protection Equipment
- Fire detection, alarm, and communication system: Alerts occupants of a fire.
- Sprinkler Systems: Pipes carry water under pressure.
- Standpipe Systems: Piping and hose connections.
Earthquakes
- Causes: Seismic waves passing through Earth's rock.
Human Trafficking
- Definition: Recruitment, transportation, transfer, harboring, or receipt of people through force, fraud, or deception to exploit them for profit.
Emergency Planning
- Emergency: Set of circumstances demanding immediate actions.
- Emergency Response Plan: Integrated policies for prevention, response, and recovery.
Occupation Health and Safety
- Definition: Recognizing, assessing, and controlling workplace hazards.
- Important terms:
- Health: State of physical and mental wellbeing.
- Safety: Physical and environmental conditions, preventing accidents.
- Work Accident: Unplanned incidences resulting in injury, property damage, stoppage, etc.
- Near Miss Accident: Unforeseen event resulting in potential harm, reduced output, or other loss.
Workplace Hazards
- Unsafe Acts: Non-compliance with standards, rules, and policies.
- Unsafe Conditions: Material, equipment, or environment hazards.
Types of Accidents
- Struck-Against: Worker struck by something.
- Struck-By: Worker struck by a moving object.
- Contact-By: Object or agent moving towards the worker.
- Contact-With: Worker moving towards object.
- Caught-In: Body part caught in a confined space.
- Caught-On: Body part caught by stationary objects.
- Caught-Between: Body part trapped between moving/stationary objects.
- Falls: Slip, trip, or fall at the same or different levels.
- Overexertion: Injury caused by lifting, pulling, or pushing.
- Exposure: Injury from unsafe environmental conditions.
Recovery
- Definition: Returning to normal operations post-incident.
- Damage: Physical harm to buildings, structure, equipment, etc.
Risk Analysis
- Probability: Likelihood of an incident/injury.
- Consequences: Severity of injury/loss.
- Risk Control: Measures to remove/reduce risks. (Elimination, Substitution, Engineering Controls.)
