Fire extinguishers are essential tools for combating small fires and preventing them from escalating into larger emergencies. Different types of fire extinguishers are designed to tackle specific classes of fires, such as CO2 extinguishers for electrical fires, AFFF foam for flammable liquid fires, ABC powder for general use, water and mist for Class A fires (wood, paper, cloth), and wet chemical extinguishers for kitchen fires involving cooking oils or fats. These extinguishers are strategically located throughout the workplace in easily accessible areas, typically near exits, high-risk zones, or areas prone to fire hazards. By having the appropriate type of fire extinguisher readily available, employees can quickly respond to fires and minimize their spread, potentially saving lives and reducing property damage.In the event of a fire, employees trained in fire safety protocols can use fire extinguishers to extinguish small fires or create a safe path for evacuation. The PASS method (Pull, Aim, Squeeze, Sweep) is commonly used to operate fire extinguishers effectively: Pull the pin to break the seal, Aim the nozzle at the base of the fire, Squeeze the handle to discharge the extinguishing agent, and Sweep the nozzle from side to side until the fire is fully extinguished. Proper training ensures that employees understand how to select the appropriate type of extinguisher for the fire class and how to operate it safely. Regular maintenance and inspections of fire extinguishers also play a critical role in ensuring their reliability and effectiveness in emergency situations.
