Fire In Workplace

To extinguish a fire in the workplace, immediately take the following steps:

- Activate the alarm in the office/building
- Contact emergency and fire personnel
- If the fire is small: If you and your co-workers are trained in firefighting, use a Portable Fire Extinguisher to extinguish the fire by spraying the lower part of the flame (where oxygen combines with fuel and heat)
- If the fire is too big: If you and your co-workers feel scared and not sure to extinguish the fire, immediately carry out the Evacuation Process by leaving the area affected by the fire and wait for the Emergency Personnel to come and extinguish the fire and save you and co-workers

Some important things to remember:
- Water should not be used to extinguish certain classes of fires as it is ineffective and can even exacerbate the fire
- The expiry date on the Fire Extinguisher must always be checked
- Fire Extinguishers must always be maintained properly so that the tool is always ready to be used if a fire occurs
