*Description*
This training program details the serious risks of fire in construction environments, where fires cause billions in damages and numerous injuries annually. We cover the essential components a fire needs to burn: fuel, an oxidizer, and heat. The video provides a comprehensive overview of the different classes of fire (Class A, B, C, D, and K) and explains why using the wrong extinguishing agent, like water on an electrical fire, can be dangerous.
Learn to identify common construction site hazards, including flammable liquids, combustible clutter, hot work operations, and electrical dangers. We also demonstrate the proper PASS method for using a fire extinguisher and outline the critical steps for a safe and orderly emergency evacuation, emphasizing the importance of knowing your site's emergency action plan.
