This procedure establishes the minimum requirements for the safe use of a Fire Extinguisher.
Remember, the use of a Fire Extinguisher requires you to be safe at all times. Do no use the
extinguisher in a manner that would allow you to be blocked by flames from your escape route.
Things to remember about Extinguishers:
1. Make sure your extinguisher is rated for the type of work being done and fire that
may be encountered.
2. During small fires, the use of a Fire Extinguisher is only for use to aid in your removal
from the area. If you have been previously trained with the use of a Fire Extinguisher,
then pull the pin, aim the hose at the base of the fire and squeeze the trigger. If the
fire is on top of a combustible liquid, do not aim at the base, but rater at the mid to top
of the flames to reduce any spreading of the burning material. At any time, if the fire
does not want to extinguish to takes more than a couple of minutes, NOTIFY THE
CUSTOMER and or Fire Department.
3. When a large fire erupts, NOTIFY CUSTOMER IMMEADEATELY and use the
extinguisher to aid in your removal from the area. Make sure the fire alarm has been
sounded and evacuate to the appropriate location as specified by the customer.
4. If you ever have to evacuate, locate the customer representative who is responsible for
you, and check in to make sure they know you have made it out of the building.
5. Dispose of the extinguisher as instructed by the Customer.
