Fire In High-Risk Industries

Safety: Fire In High-Risk Industries

High Risk Industries (oil & gas, chemical manufacturing, mining, construction & warehousing) face fire hazards due to the Fire Triangle, complex operations & hazardous environments.

The Fire Triangle is required for a fire to start & stay burning:

- High heat: The energy required to ignite the fuel. This energy can come from matches, stoves, short circuits, or work involving welding, cutting & heavy machinery that produces heat that can start a fire. Heat raises the temperature of the fuel to its ignition point, which can cause a fire to start.

- Combustible material: Anything that can burn, such as wood, paper, iron, metal, petrol & gas. Fuel provides the material that the fire consumes to keep burning.

- Oxygen: Fire requires oxygen from the air to sustain the chemical reaction of combustion. Air contains about 21% oxygen, which is sufficient for most fires. Some industries use oxygen-rich environments, which allow fires to burn & grow.

If one of the Fire Triangle is missing, the fire will stop. To put out a fire, you must disrupt the triangle by:

- Removing heat with water

- Removing combustible materials

- Removing oxygen with a fire blanket or foam

Other factors that can cause a fire:

- Workers not following Safety Protocols

- Broken equipment & machines

Types of fires that typically occur in High-Risk Industries:

- Class A: Fires that typically occur in construction involving solid materials such as wood or paper

- Class B: Fires that typically occur in oil refineries fueled by flammable liquids such as oil or gasoline

- Class C: Fires in electrical wiring or faulty equipment

- Class D: Metal fires that typically occur in manufacturing or mining involving titanium or magnesium

- Class K: Fires that typically occur in kitchens or processing plants involving oil or grease

Industrial fires can cause:

- Injuries

- Deaths

- Environmental damage

- Financial loss

Fire Prevention & Suppression

High-Risk Industries must use strict measures to prevent & control fires:

- Regularly maintain equipment & machines

- Have a Cooling System to manage hot temperatures

- Have a Ventilation System to prevent the buildup of vapors

- Store flammable materials safely in closed containers or isolated areas

- Clean up dust or flammable debris

- Detect fires by using smoke alarms, heat sensors & gas detectors

- Use PPE: Fire-resistant clothing & breathing apparatus

- Use Fire Extinguishers: Water, foam, or other fire extinguishers that are suited to the specific type of fire

- Train workers to extinguish fires & evacuate

Fires in high-risk industries are serious, but they can be prevented & controlled with proper Precautions & Handling.

- Minimize damage to property & the environment

Onshore Emergencies can include:

- Prepare necessary support: PPE, Fire extinguisher, safety equipment, medical equipment, food, water, communication devices

When Onshore Emergencies Occur:

- Teams needed: Emergency Team, Rescue Team, Fire Team, Medical Team

- All teams must oversee operations & coordinate Rescue Efforts

- Safety of life must be prioritized by implementing the Safety & Evacuation Processes

- Parties who need special treatment (elderly, disabled) must be prioritized for assistance

- The cause of the emergency must be addressed immediately to limit further damage: Shutting down machinery & equipment, extinguishing fires, installing barriers during flooding

- Communication must be made with employees, management & public to prevent misinformation & panic

When the Onshore Emergencies have been resolved:

- Medical care, psychological support & temporary shelter must be provided to victims

- The physical & operational damages must be handled & repaired immediately

- The cause of all damages must be evaluated through the Investigation Process

- Operations must be restarted in stages while also ensuring that Safety Procedures are carried out
