[Audio] BASICS OF FIRE: The interaction of three elements is needed for the creation of a fore. If one element is removed, the fire will extinguish. Heat: It allows fire to spread by evaporating moisture in fuels, allowing it to ignite and travel more easily. By cooling method the heat can be prevented. Oxygen: 16% is required to support the oxidation process, creating heat and gases. Smothering is a method to cut of oxygen supply. Fuel: It gives the fire a burnable material allowing the fire to advance. By fuel starvation, this fuel can be cut off from the triangle. As you can see the diagram of growth phase of fire, If any one element is stopped or cut off at the initial stage of the fire, major fire accidents can be stopped..

[Audio] Emergencies & disasters can strike anyone at anytime and anywhere. Emergency preparedness plan is about being ready for the unexpected, whether it's a natural disaster that can disrupt our daily lives. What comes under emergency situation ? Natural & Manmade  Toxic gas release, fire/explosions, infrastructure failure, floods, hurricanes, bomb threats, etc., Emergency preparedness is essential for both individuals and organizations for several critical reasons For Individuals: Personal Safety Peace of Mind Reduced Panic Faster Recovery Community Resilience For Organizations: Employee Safety Continuity of Operations Legal Compliance Resource Management Community Support.

[Audio] For these emergency situation Emergency preparedness plan should be prepared. MINIMUM PLAN INFORMATION: 1. Method of reporting fires/emergencies 2. Emergency escape routes 3. Emergency contact information 4. Assembly point location & head count info METHOD FOR REPORTING FIRE & EMERGENCIES An emergency preparedness plan helps employers and workers to know, where to go and how to keep themselves safe when an emergency occurs. Procedures to be followed during the time of emergency. Pull the nearest fire alarm box . Call to report the fire once safely outside. Leave the building via the nearest exit. Check doors for heat before opening them – do not open doors if hot to the touch. Do not use elevators to exit the building. Remain outside the building at safe assembly point until an emergency response official gives permission to re-enter..

[Audio] This our emergency evacuation plan for the module plant. It shows emergency exits, assembly points, fire extinguishers, fire hydrants and first aid kits location in the module plant..

[Audio] Cyclone/ Flood occurred response plan-Working day At 1st hour occurrence – Plant condition , Emergency room operation , Share information employee (1st time), Route clearing, Utility clearance 1st to 2nd hour occurrence – Isolation, How to leave , Govt. support , Send communication to employee (2nd time), 2nd to 3rd hour occurrence – ERT(Emergency response team) , Essential Support After 3 hrs - Plant Restart schedule, Send communication to employee (3rd time), ERT response Nth day - Ready to restart , Assessment of damages , Repair Work.

[Audio] These below mentioned numbers are the internal and external emergency contact information:.

[Audio] THINGS TO BE USED AT THE TIME OF EMERGENCY FIRE EXTINGUISHER A fire extinguisher is a handheld active fire protection device usually filled with chemical or gases used to extinguish or control small fires. PASS method is used to extinguish the fire. In pass P means "pull the pin" , A means "aim at the base of fire", S means " Squeeze" and S means "sweep" CLASSES OF FIRE & SUITABLE EXTINGUISHER: CLASS A – SOLID FIRE SUCH AS WOOD, PAPER, ETC – Fire extinguisher used are WATER, DCP, CLEAN AGENT CLASS B – FLAMMABLE LIQUIDS FIRES – Fire extinguisher used are FOAM, DCP, CLEAN AGENT CLASS C – ELECTRICAL EQUIPMENT FIRES – Fire extinguisher used are CO2, DCP, CLEAN AGENT CLASS D – METAL FIRES – Fire extinguisher used are DRY POWDER CLASS K – COOKING MEDIA FIRES- Fire extinguisher used are WET CHEMICAL.

[Audio] FIRE HYDRANT SYSTEM A fire hydrant is a connection point by which firefighters can tap into a water supply. It is also a component of active fire protection. PROCEDURE: Open the hose box Connect it to the hydrant valve. Connect nozzle Aim at the base of fire. Sweep FIRE ALARM: This system consists of Manual Call point (MCP): Manual call points provide an essential interface for occupants to raise the alarm during a fire or emergency to alert others about the emergency. Detectors & Hooters : The faster a fire is detected, the less time it has to cause damage. These detectors are used to detect the smoke and fire to activate the alarms and alert the others by sounding the hooters.

[Audio] SAP – Safe Assembly Point in 2 location near main gate and between module and IMG plant. Should not approach the SAP by running. At the emergency time, walk fast to the SAP to avoid slip and trip hazards. To indicate the SAP "way to safe assembly point" boards are displayed along the ways. Emergency exits should be used at the emergency time only. It should be free of access. Eye wash station can be used at the time of spillage in the eyes. If eye or other body parts contacted with chemicals, it should be washed continuously for 15 minutes. Foam monitor and water monitor are also located at scrapyard and near parts plant. Spill kit should be used at the time of chemical or oil spillage..

[Audio] Procedure for using spill kit: Put up caution tape around the spill area and notify the surrounding area workers. Protect nearby floor drains if the spill is large, if the spill is small contain the spill area using absorbent boom. Put on the appropriate ppe before cleaning the spill. Absorb the spills using proper absorbent pads or pillows. Collect the absorbent in a hazardous waste bag. Take extra caution regard to shards of glass and chemical vapor's. Call safety for the assistance. Decontaminate the area with compatible disinfectant and spill pads. Collect contaminated spill pads in the same bag. Remove ppe and collect disposables in the same bag. Seal with a twist tie..

[Audio] WHAT TO DO INCASE OF BUILDING ON FIRE Alert other workers. If the fire is at starting stage, try to extinguish it with nearby fire extinguisher. Activate the fire alarm to let others know about the emergency. Do not use the elevator at the emergency time. Kindly use the stairs for emergency purpose. On opening the doors, check door handle first. If hot, do not open as the room may already be on fire. Crawl through smoke. Use wet cloth to cover nose and mouth. Do not waste time on clicking photos at the emergency situation. If your clothes catches fire, stop, drop and roll to put out the flames. Call the fire and safety department..
