Recognizing Dangers Of Workplace Fire Training Ppt

Slide 4

This slide talks about the importance of fire safety training for employees in an organization. Fires can result in significant loss of life and property. Even as such accidents are hard to predict, measures must be taken to reduce the risk of their occurrence. One of the most critical steps is providing regular fire safety training to employees.

Slide 5

This slide depicts important statistics related to fire and safety. Less than 50% of people know how to use a fire extinguisher with confidence. Less than 25% of people know where fire extinguishers are located in their building.

Slide 6

This slide talks about the Triangle Shirt waste Fire Accident that took place in New York in 1911. A fire broke out on floors 8th, 9th, and 10th of an Asch building in Greenwich Village, Manhattan, New York, on March 25, 1911. These three storeys had been included in the Shirtwaist factory. The fire spread quickly due to the highly inflammable fabric that lay scattered around the workplace; the fire department ladders could not reach the 7th floor.

Slide 7

This slide talks about the China Zhili Toy Factory Fire. The factory went up in a raging inferno on the night of November 19, 1993. Friction in the machinery room, which was connected to the material depot, was found to be the source of the fire. Over 100 lives were lost in the tragedy, and about 50 people suffered severe injuries.

Slide 8

This slide gives a definition of fire. In the exothermic chemical reaction (a process in which energy is released) of combustion, fire can be seen as the rapid oxidation of a substance (the fuel), releasing heat, light, and other byproducts.

Slide 9

This slide tells us what a fire is made up of. A flame is a combination of its fuel, light, and the solids and gases that form the fire and are also produced by it. The fuel type and its oxidizer determine the precise chemical content of the fire.

Slide 10

This slide gives an overview of a combustion reaction. Combustion, also known as burning, is a high-temperature exothermic (heat/energy releasing) reaction.

Slide 11

This slide talks about flaming combustion which is its most common type. In this, the fire burns with an open flame, such as a gas burner, lighter, or candle.

Slide 12

This slide talks about smoldering combustion. The slow, low-temperature, flameless burning of porous fuels is known as smoldering combustion. It takes place on the surface of a solid, as opposed to flaming combustion, which takes place in the gas phase

Slide 13

This slide introduces the concept of a fire triangle. The combustion triangle or fire triangle, is a model for understanding the necessary elements of most fires. The triangle represents the three components that are necessary to ignite a fire. These are heat, fuel, and an oxidizing agent.

Slide 14

This slide introduces the concept of the Fire Tetrahedron. It indicates the addition of one more element to the fire triangle's three existing ones: a chemical chain reaction.

Instructor’s Notes: 

• Foam can be used to cut off the fire's oxygen supply. Water to remove or disperse the fuel, reduce the fuel's temperature below the ignition point, or both
• To directly address the chemical reaction causing the fire, halon can be used to eliminate free radicals and build a barrier of inert gas

Slide 15

This slide lists the most common causes of fire in a workplace. These fires can be caused by electrical equipment, arson, smoking, clutter & combustibles, old fire risk assessment norms, contractors, and human error or negligence. 

Slide 16

This slide talks about electrical equipment as a common cause of fire in a workplace. An electrical fire is one of the most frequent types of fire in the workplace. Fires might start because of poorly maintained or misused equipment.

Slide 17

This slide talks about arson as a common cause of fire in a workplace. Arson is a common and major reason for fires in commercial buildings. The impact on a business due to such malicious behavior can be devastating.

Slide 18

This slide talks about smoking as a common cause of fire in a workplace. Although most commercial settings have designated outdoor smoking zones, smokers' negligence contributes to a high proportion of non-domestic fires. 

Slide 19

This slide talks about clutter and combustibles as a common cause of fire in a workplace. Lack of regular cleaning and clutter is a common fire risk in many organizations. If the workplace isn't cleaned regularly, the accumulation of grease and dust could pose a fire risk, especially in places with poor ventilation. 

Slide 20

This slide talks about old fire risk assessment norms as a common cause of fire in a workplace. A new fire risk assessment must be performed when relocating to a new office or a previously occupied facility.

Slide 21

This slide talks about contractors as a common cause of fire in a workplace. Hot work originates from building or maintenance tasks that produce sparks, heat, or flame, which could result in a fire.

Slide 22

This slide talks about contractors as a common cause of fire in a workplace. Hot work originates from building or maintenance tasks that produce sparks, heat, or flame, which could result in a fire.

Slide 24

This slide highlights some important facts about fires in the workplace. Most fires break out at night, although these start during office hours. During construction or maintenance projects, massive fires result from misuse of electrical equipment or appliances.

Slide 25

This slide illustrates statistics relating to fires at the workplace. Electrical malfunctions account for 18% of warehouse fires. 31% of office fires take place between 7pm and 7am and cause about 67% of property damage.

Slide 26

This slide lists the most common causes of household fires. In addition to the causes of fire at a workplace that we have already studied, household fires are set off due to reasons that seem innocuous. Everyday ordinary activities lead to major infernos in households as people tend to be careless or negligent about these causes.

Slide 27

This slide talks about cooking-related fires in a household. Unattended cooking is the main reason for household fires. They are generally caused by grease overheating in an oven or stove.

Instructor’s Notes: Grease is highly flammable, and when it reaches a specific temperature, it can spontaneously ignite even without coming in contact with a flame. It is quite difficult to put out grease fires.

Slide 28

This slide talks about household fires due to heating appliances. Heating and cooling equipment is the second most common cause of household fires. A fire can break out when fabrics or other kinds of combustibles are left too close to space heaters or baseboard heaters.

Slide 29

This slide talks about household fires that unattended candles cause. Candles have open flames and can easily tip over, resulting in a fire. Matches and lighters used to light candles can also be dangerous if left within a child's reach.

Slide 30

This slide talks about household fires that children cause. Children may start fires accidentally or out of curiosity. If you discover matches or lighters in their possession or room, smell Sulphur in their surroundings, or locate toys or other personal items that appear melted or singed, they might be engaging in fire play.

Slide 31

This slide depicts the causes of household fires as a pie-chart. Cooking is the leading cause of household fires accounting for about 40%. Heating contributes to 18% and electrical causes cause 17% of these fires.

Slide 50 to 65

These slides contain energizer activities to engage the audience of the training session.

Slide 66 to 93

Slide 94 to 96

These slides include a training evaluation form for instructor, content and course assessment.
