Fire Extinguishers

Fire Extinguishers

Accidents leading to fire are always a possibility, posing a constant threat to your business, employees and customers. Putting fire safety measures into effect is not only potentially lifesaving but it is also required by law. Fire Extinguishers are your first line of defense at your workplace if you ever have to put out a fire or clear an exit way. A fire extinguisher can significantly decrease the risk of smoke inhalation and the amount of damage done to a workplace and those housed inside your workspace.

There are four classes of fire extinguishers: A, B, C and D. The class that you need depends on the type of facility you operate.

  • Class A: Puts out fires due to typical combustibles such as paper and wood
  • Class B: For use on various flammable liquids such as grease, oil and gasoline
  • Class C: Only for electrically energized fires
  • Class D: Designed for flammable metals

Once you have a fire extinguisher(s) installed in your facility, it’s important to know how to use it effectively. The great thing about fire extinguishers is that they are fairly easy to use in the event of an emergency. Most types use the P.A.S.S Method:

  • P: Pull the pin on the fire extinguisher. This breaks the tamper seal
  • A: Aim the nozzle at the base of the fire
  • S: Squeeze the handle to release the extinguishing mixture
  • S: Sweep the nozzle from side to side, keeping it at the base, until the fire is extinguished
