    Fire Prevention, Detection and

    Protection
    Safe Systems Of Work Volume 2

    What Is a Fire?
    Fire is a chemical process involving the vaporization
    and oxidation of a combustible material accompanied
    by the release of energy in the form of heat and light.
    Keep in mind, only vapors burn.
    Combustion equation:
    Substance + Oxygen

    Oxidation Products Energy

    e.g. CH4 + 202 = 2H20 890 kj

    Purpose of This SSoW


    Provides information necessary for ensuring
    the safety of:
    Personnel
    Buildings
    Installations, and
    Plant
    with regard to fire prevention, detection and
    protection

    All Personnel
    Responsibilities:
    Informing their supervisor about potential
    risks

    Fire Prevention

    The Fire Triangle identifies the three components of


    any fire:

    Fuel paper, wood, flammable gas, energized electrical equipment,


    etc...
    Energy (heat), sufficient to support combustion. Often referred
    to as the ignition source.
    Oxidizer (air)
    IF ANY ONE OF THESE IS MISSING, A FIRE CANNOT
    CONTINUE.
    THEREFORE

    Prevention
    Prevention is based on
    eliminating or minimizing
    one of the components
    of the Fire Triangle.

    Housekeeping
    Work areas - free of flammable materials
    All spills involving flammables - clean
    immediately
    Proper dispensing techniques
    Work areas - free of dust
    Waste to be properly segregated and disposed
    Provide proper ventilation
    Provide proper signs

    Risk Assessments
    Ignition sources
    Proximity of combustible materials to work
    area
    Possible consequences of fire
    Fire fighting equipment/staff
    Contingency plans
    Competency of personnel

    Hazardous Areas
    Zone 0: flammable atmosphere is continuously
    present or present for long periods
    Zone 1: flammable atmosphere is likely to occur
    in normal operation
    Zone 2: flammable atmosphere is not likely to
    occur in normal operation, or exists for short time
    None-Hazardous: an area not one of Zone 0, 1 or 2
