Do you remember the Fire Tetrahedron?
Of course you do. To prevent fire, you need to stop heat, fuel, oxygen and a chemical reaction coming together to “break the fire tetrahedron”.
The most important thing to know is that a fire cannot start or continue if one of these elements is missing.
Flip the cards below to see how you can prevent the most likely fires:
If you smell gas, what should you do?
- Do not use your mobile phone insideCorrectly checked
- Open all windows and doorsCorrectly checked
- Immediately inform your managerCorrectly checked
- Notify the emergency services for gasCorrectly checked
- Evacuate the building
Did you get the one about electric appliances wrong?
I did so I am making an extra point. Do not operate any electrical switches at all if you smell gas. This includes light switches and electrical appliances. Do not put a light on. You want to avoid sparks if there is a possibility of gas as it could ignite and cause a fire.
