Fire Prevention & Protection Plan
Fire Prevention & Protection Plan
Project Title & No: YIT Housing Expansion No. PIC F-8152
TABLE OF CONTENTS
1.0 POLICY
Protection of personnel, company owned equipment and facilities as well as existing Royal
Commission facilities in the purpose of the present program. One aspect of safety is the
presentation of fire. The risk of fire is due to poor housekeeping, lack of adequate inspection,
control of heat sources and inadequate firefighting facilities.
The Company's facility is to provide the maximum degree of protection to its constituents and
to its clients. The inspection of fires could be avoided by applying the following course of
actions.
1.1 Maintain a good housekeeping
1.2 Conduct regular inspection in areas suspected to be potential fire hazards.
1.3 Provide adequate firefighting equipment .
1.4 Organize a fully trained fire brigade. The fire brigade consists of five men selected
from our site workers which have been trained previously in at our previous project and
for the same purpose.
A fire brigade shall support the safety manager in implementing emergency procedures during
the outbreak of fire.
The following employees will be Al Fanary Est. on call-staff meets any eventuality at our work
areas:
Safety Officer :
Details of on-call staff are given below and will be transmitted to security & safety department.
4.0 MEETING
Fire prevention and protection discussions shall be part of the safety meetings, which shall be
conducted every Thursday by the Management group and every Saturday by the workmen in
site.
Tags shall be placed to identify palely the equipment or circuits being worked on.
Unexpected energized of any electrical line can cause death, shock, serious injury, etc.
In addition to the tag, the circuit at the switch box should be padlocked in the "OFF"
position. A lockout hoop should be provide and used.
5.4.3 Ventilation
Gasoline and diesel powered equipment should only be used in well ventilated
areas. Exhaust pipes should be kept away from combustible materials. Engines
must be stopped before refueling takes place.
Al Fanary Est. has on obligation to provide and maintain adequate, easily accessible fire
extinguisher on the job site should consult with the Royal Commission Fire Protection Dept. for
advice on selection of such equipment.
There are three types of fire extinguisher normally found on construction sites: water, carbon
dioxide and dry chemical types. Contractor personnel should be aware of the firefighting
equipment available on site and be familiar with its use.
using CO2 in this particular instance is that it leaves no residue in the mechanisms of the
electrical equipment and therefore does not further to the damage.
6.3.1 CAUTION
A CO2 extinguisher should never be used in enclosed areas where people are
present, because the gas displaces oxygen from the immediate environment.
When the oxygen level in the environment is reduced sufficiently to put out a
fire, the oxygen level is also incapable supporting human life.
Oxygen, heat and fuel are frequently referred to as the “fire triangle”. Add in the fourth
element, the chemical reaction, and you actully have a fire “tetrahdron”. The important thing is
to remember is: take any of these four things away, and you will not have a fire or the fire
will be extinguished. Essentially, fire extinguisher put out fire by taking away one or more
elements of the fire triangle/tetrahedron.
Fire safety, at its most basic, is based upon the principal of keeping fuel sources and ignition
sources separate. It’s easy to remember how to use a fire extinguisher if you can remember the
acronym PASS, which stands for Pull, Aim, Squeeze and Sweep.
1. Pull the pin.
This will allow you to discharge the extinguisher.
2. Aim at the base of the fire.
If you aim the at the flames (which is frequently the temptation), the extinguishing
agent will fly right through and do no good. You want to hit the fuel.
3. Squeeze the top handle or lever.
This depresses a button that releases the pressurized extinguishing agent in the
extinguisher.
4. Sweep from side to side
Until the fire is completely out. Start using the extinguisher from a safe distance away,
then move forward. Once the fire is out, keep an eye on the area in case it re-ignites.
Note: Not all fires are the same and they are classified according to the type of fuel that is burning. If
you use the wrong type of fire extinguisher on the wrong class of fire, you can, in fact, make matterrs
worse. It is therefore very important to understand the four different fire classifications.
Class A- Wood, paper, cloth, trash, plastics
Solid combustible materials that are not metals. (Class A fire generally leaves an ash).
Class B- Flammable liquids: gasoline, oil, grease, acetone
Any non-metal in a liquid state, on fire. This classification also includes flammable
gases. (Class B fire generally involve materials that Boil or Bubble).
Cass C- Electrical: energized electrical equipment
As long as it’s “plugged in”, it would be considered a class C fire. (Class C fire
generally deal with electrical current)
For Fire:
1. Raise the Fire Alarm
Dial 9111 for the emergency required, follow the correct procedure and advise the operator
carefully.
2.Switch off the generator to disconnect the electrical line to office
3.Evacuation the Area
Check other room/office if already evacuated.
4.Proceed to Assembly Area
See the evacuation notices displayed for the assembly area
5. Ensure that you tell your superior that you are safe
6. stay in the assembly area until you are advised that you can leave
7. Do not re-enter the area until the All Clear is given
12.6 Smokers ensure that cigarette butts are extinguished in ashtray or fire bucket with sand
placed in smoking points properly before leaving their designated areas near office
location for office staff and lay down for workers near toilet rooms.
12.7 Storage and handling of flammable and combustible liquids, hazardous chemicals and
flammable gases shall be in accordance with NFPA-30
12.8 Eliminate from work area the unwanted fuels and control sources of ignition.
12.9 Plastic fuel containers shall not be allowed. Provide approved containers.
