Info

Install a fully charged and inspected fire extinguisher in every vehicle in service(company-owned or leased). The driver of the vehicle is responsible for inspecting theextinguisher before the vehicle is used. Replace any damaged or stolen fireextinguisher. Dry chemical extinguishers are ineffective when the powdered chemicalbecomes compacted. Turn the extinguisher bottom up during monthly inspections andtap with a rubber mallet or similar tool, but do not dent or damage the extinguisher.It is recommended that dry powder extinguishers be mounted horizontally on the vehicleso that the vibration does not cause the powder to pack down. The party chief ordesignated safety representative should periodically check all fire extinguishers toensure serviceable operation.2.19.3 Fire ExtinguishersFire extinguisher's compatible with the hazard and volume of material should be madeavailable. Extinguishers carry ABC ratings and these should be used to determine theadequacy of the extinguisher and it's intended service. Different class fires requiredifferent class extinguishers.Fire extinguisher maintenance is crucial to office and operations safety. Keep firefightingequipment in good condition by following these guidelines:1) Visually inspect extinguishers monthly. Each unit should meet the followingrequirements:a) Mounted vertically where possible, in a designated place and at least 15 cm [(6inches (in.)] from the floor.b) Properly tagged with ID # and service record.c) Sealed.d) No visible physical damage.e) No external corrosion.f) Be readily accessible (not be obstructed).2) Replace any extinguisher removed for maintenance.3) Thoroughly service all portable fire extinguishers yearly.4) Hydrostatically test portable extinguishers according to this schedule:a) Water - 5 years.b) Carbon Dioxide - 5 years.c) Dry Chemical - 5 years for stainless steel containers; 12 years for all othercontainers.When activating a fire extinguisher, never stand directly above it; always tilt it away fromyour body to prevent injury in case of failure/ explosionBecause of the possible damage to the environment by released fluorocarbons, Halon isno longer being manufactured and is considered illegal in some countries. HalonPage 32 of 136
systems may be recharged with existing Halon gas supplies from licensed vendors untilthis supply is exhausted, then alternative extinguishing products and systems must beinstalled.2.20 RespiratorsCrew members should be properly trained in the use of respirators where required.Local law may require physical examinations where a possibility exists that respiratorswill be used in the work place.Respirators should have cartridge's compatible for the exposure. Users of respiratorsshould be properly trained and fit tested to ensure adequate fit and seal. Users shouldalso be trained in respirator maintenance, cleaning and sanitizing. When not in use,storage facilities to prevent contamination should be provided.Breathing equipment (30-minute units) should meet the specifications as set forth in thecountry of operations:1) Pressure demand units.2) High-pressure hose with swivel fittings on both ends and hand-tight to cylinder.3) Single-stage regulator.4) Audible warning alarm when air supply is depleted to approximately 500 psi (33 bar).5) Air cylinder abrasion-resistant polyurethane coating.Page 33 of 136
