Attend all the mandatory fire safety trainings and drills provided through CSP.
Locate all the Sprinkler systems and fire doors.
Familiarize with all CSP Alarm systems.
Recognize all the fire hazardous materials, flammable fuels and chemicals at CSP

3. Awareness Fire ignition sources Flammability Reactivity Explosivity
Welding
Hot surfaces
Mechanical sparks
Electrical wiring
Properties of chemical fire hazards
Flammability
Reactivity
Explosivity 2a

4. Prevention
Prevention is the best defense against fires Prevention starts with good housekeeping practices:
Neatness
Work area free of debris i.e. oil, grease, solvents and similar materials
Not overloaded outlets
No broken or cracked electrical cords
Fire safety equipment in good condition
Replace burned out exit lights
Fire doors closed
Do not block stairways

5. How Does a Fire Work?

oxygen, heat and fuel.
Fire extinguishers remove one or more of these components

6. Classes of Fire Extinguishers
Class A
Wood, paper, cloth, trash, etc… (A - Ash)
Class B
Flammable liquids, oil, gas, grease, etc...(B - Barrel)
Class C
Energized electrical equipment (C - Circuit)
Class D
Used for combustible metal fires: Magnesium, Titanium, Zirconium, Tantalum, Lithium, and Sodium
CSP uses Titanium in various parts of the process.

7. Use of fire extinguishers
Use the PASS method
Pull pin
Aim at base of fire
Squeeze handle

12. Ignition Sources The leading ignition sources are:
electrical equipment
smoking
hot surfaces
friction
arson 6a
