 INTRODUCTION:-
The simple truth is that emergencies and disasters can strike any one, anytime,
anywhere and you could be forced to evacuate your company/apartment/
Mall/sensitive and crowded area when you least expect it.
To protect yourself and your colleagues, from any unexpected disasters. It is to
develop well thought of pre planned or early preparedness of plan of regular
exercise for Emergency action plan. To guide you when immediate action is
necessarily required.
Fire is one of the major emergencies that can take place in work place/residence.
To prevent these hazards need to work in core of action to prevent death, injury
or property damages. When it is in uncontrollable condition, to ensure the work
of action to provide as much of potential manner to rescue quickly as soon as
possible to evacuate the victims from the affected area.
A fire action plan means to generate what to do and when a fire occurs. And a
fire prevention plans means what to do, to prevent from fire occurring.
First of Most is, you need to be courageous, active and panic free to get
successful result.
To protect employees from fire and other emergencies and to prevent loss of life
and property, companies use emergency preparedness plans..
 TERM OF FIRE ABBREVATION
• F - FIND THE FIRE (LOCATION).
• I - IDENTIFY OR INFORM THE TYPE OF
FIRE.(A,B,C,D,E,F CLASS OF FIRE)
• R - RESCUE THE FIRE.(USING SAND OR FIRE
EXTINGUISHER)
• E – EVACUATE THE PLACE IN CASE OF BLAZE
FIRE.
 BASIC KNOWLEDGE ON FIRE AND SAFETY

FIRE: - Fire is a chemical reaction

of three elements. It is a natural
phenomenon that occurs
whenever combustible fuel is
comes into contact with oxygen,
under extreme heat condition
which is sufficient to ignite the fire.

FIRE PREVENTION: - Fire can

be averted only if fire prevention
is assured taking all laid down
guidelines precautions measures,
ensuring prescribed remedial
measures to minimize or restrict
is an act to extinguish fire and
prevent loss of life / property and
the environment, heat fuel and
oxygen requires life for a fire.
 METHODS OF FIRE EXTINCTION
• Based on the fire triangle fire extinction can be
done removing one of the elements from the
triangle, so it can be done in 3 ways viz..,
starvation, Blanketing, or smothering and
cooling.
• Starvation: - It is the method of removing the
fuel elements from the fire triangle. In this
Starvation
method the surrounding materials are
removed from the set of fire and fire is made
for starve. Without the supply of fuel is will be
extinguished.
• Blanketing/smothering: - In this method the
oxygen supply to the fire is cut off. The lack of
oxygen, may lead to off the fire. This action can
be used by using cotton blankets, wet ply wood Blanketing
sheet, or fire beater over the fuel.
• Cooling:-It is the method of reducing heat
elements from the fire. This method is
generally done by using water, since water is a
good absorber of heat. Water is the best for
fire – fighting media for solid fires like wood,
leaves cotton and charcoals. But water cannot
be used in electrical and liquid fuels. Cooling

Fuel

These 3 elements - under certain conditions - fire breaks out.

Remove any one – the fire is put out

 HEAT TRANSFER

HEAT TRANSFER: - The fire spreads

from one place to other places because of
heat there are three different principles of
heat transfer. They are Convections,
Conduction and radiation.
•Convection:- The transfer of heat
through the heated air particles or smoke
travelling upwards is called convection.
•Conduction:- Transfer of heat through
solid particles between two or more
objects is called conduction speed of
conduction of conduction varies from
material to material . Iron and steel have
good heat conduction, whereas wood has
low heat conductions.
•Radiation:-Transfer of heat in the form
of short energy waves is called radiation.
Any heated object at high temperature
starts to radiate heat.
 Human Error (95.7%) -
why ?
n Our people are not taught about fire control and
prevention.
n Employees not adequately trained to react and respond to
fire emergencies.
n Fire safety does not find a place on the priority list of
most managements.
n No serious attempt made to learn from past mistakes.
 STAGES OF A FIRE

Incipient Stage: First stage when even smoke is not visible

Smoldering Stage: There is no fire but smoke is present.

Open flame Stage: At this stage now flame is also present.

High Heat Stage: This stage can also be termed as blaze stage
where in fire with heat is present.
 The Nature Of Fire

 Fire is fast - there is little time

 Fire is hot - heat is more lethal than the flames

 Fire is dark - It isn’t bright, it’s pitch black. Smoke and

fumes form a dense layer and impair
visibility.

 Fire is deadly - Smoke and toxic gases kill more people

than flames do
 CLASSIFICATION OF FIRE
Class A: Solid Fuel Fires - Wood, paper, plastics,
cloth etc.

Class B: Flammable Liquids - Petrol, oil,

lubes, etc.

Class C: Gases on Fire - LPG, CNG, Methane

etc.

Class D: Metal Fires - Sodium, Potassium,

Magnesium etc.

E class of fire: - All fire related to electrical.

(ESIF)
Electrically short circuited ignites the fire.

First Aid Kit in Buildings
 ELECTRIC SHOCK AND CAUSE OF FIRE
Fire is been a serious hazard with devastating result. Fire destroys
the life of people and property earned with persistent effort and
sacrifice, with just a moment of carelessness causing loss of life.
Injuries and heavy damage the loss due to fire cannot be placed.
Fire accidents with devastating result could be avoided if we are
careful.
Damage electrical conductors, overloaded sockets and extension
cords, faulty wirings blown fuses. Low quality electrical equipment,
malfunction of electrical devices, loose electrical connections, lack
of clearance between electrical heating devices and combustible
material, dangerous accumulation waste. Only when fire breaks out
does the hazard become apparent, and then it is too late.
THESE ARE THE CAUSE FOR THE NEGLEGENCY TOWARDS
ELECTRIC APPLIANCES
DON’TS
Don’t use sub standard fixtures or appliances. Don’t have temporary
or exposed joints on wiring Don’t place bare wire ends into a socket.
Don’t lay wires under carpets, mats or doorway. they may get
crushed, resulting in short circuiting Don’t allow cords of electric
appliances to dangle.
Don’t block fire exits and stairways.
Don’t block entrances to premises or hamper fire engine movements.
DO’S
Switch off appliances after use and remove plugs from the sockets.
Replace broken plugs and switches immediately.
Keep the electrical wires away from hot and wet surfaces. Use one
socket for one appliance.
Fuses and switches should be mounted on metallic cubicles for
greater safety against fire.
 GUIDELINES FOR THE OTHER OCCUPANTS IN THE EVENT OF FIRE:
• Stop your job, do not panic and do not be lethargic.
• Do not worry about your personnel belongings.
• Take a brisk walk, do not run.
• Take the nearest safe exit.
• Use the stairs to come down,
• Do not use the lift.

 EVACUATION GUIDELINES FOR PEOPLE WITH DISABLITY
(DIFFERENTLY ABLED AND EXPECTING MOTHERS)

• Who is disability? Through the able bodied tend bodied immediately to think of
wheel chair, there is much more disability there are multiple disabilities, with many
variations as there are people. There is a spectrum of disability that comprises
temporary, episode and chronic disabilities.
• The temporary category is familiar to everyone, the one who have suffered a sport
injury, or injuries due to the accident, or the one who are pregnant, episodic
disabilities may also refer to an situational disabilities, such as Asthma. Situational
disabilities may also refer to an environment in which the reference to the height of
building. A significant proportion of the population cannot walk down many frights
of steps. Therefore there is six types of disabilities and guidelines to evacuate them
during emergency.

• PERSON WITH MOBILITY IMPAIRMENT

• PERSONS WITH VISUAL IMPAIRMENT
• PERSON WITH HEARING IMPAIRMENT
• PERSON WITH SPEECH IMPAIRMENT
• PERSON WITH COGNITIVE IMPAIRMENT
• EXPECTING MOTHERS.

• There is no such thing typical evacuation plan for the people with disabilities. The
building members have to plan early preparedness. Or rescue assistance to await
members of the emergency team to escort them to safety. but there is no reason
that individuals with hearing or speech impairment cannot use the stair to make an
independent escape, as long as they cannot find the stair ways or effectively
notified.
 FIRE AND SAFETY PREVENTION GOALS

• FIRE PREVENTION GOALS: - fire can be averted

only if ensured taking all laid down guidelines,
precaution measures, ensuring prescribed remedial
measures to minimize or restrict the effect of fire
when it has occurred .fire fighting is an act to
extinguish fire and prevent loss of life, property and
environment.

• Life safety:- The primary goal of fire safety effort is to

protect building occupants from injury and to prevent
loss of life.
• Property protection:-The secondary goal of fire safety is
to prevent property damage.
• Protection of operations:- By preventing fires and
limiting damage we can assure that work operation will
continue.
