Fire Extinguisher Training
Fire

Oxygen, heat, and fuel are
considered the fire triangle; with
the addition of a chemical reaction
you have a fire tetrahedron.

Removing one of the items will inhibit
the chemical chain reaction and you
will not have a fire.
Classes of Fires



Not all fires are the same and are
classified by the type of fuel that is
burning.
If you use the wrong type of
extinguisher on the wrong class of
fire you can make the fire worse.
It is important to understand the
different fire classifications.

Heat Illness Prevention
The importance of preventing heat
illnesses:




Heat illness is a matter of life and death.
Associates experiencing heat exhaustion
are at a greater risk for accidents because
they are less alert and can be confused.
Associates experiencing heatstroke can
have major body organs affected such as
acute heart, liver, kidney, and muscle
damage, nervous system issues and blood
disorders.
Heat illness are preventable.
Signs and Symptoms of Heat
Related Illnesses

People react differently to heat
related illnesses and may
experience various symptoms





Heat
Heat
Heat
Heat
Heat
Stroke
Exhaustion
Syncope
Cramps
Rash
Heat Stroke


Most serious heat-related disorder.
Occurs when the body is unable to control
its temperature:





Temperature rises rapidly
Sweating mechanism fails
Body is unable to cool down
When heat stroke occurs, the body’s
temperature can rise to 106 degrees
Fahrenheit or higher within 10-15 min.
Heat stroke can cause death or
permanent disability if emergency
treatment is not given.
Heat Exhaustion


Heat exhaustion is the body’s
response to an excessive loss of
water and salt, usually through
excessive sweating.
Workers most prone to heat
exhaustion are the elderly, have
high blood pressure, and those
working in a hot environment.
Heat Syncope


Is a fainting (syncope) episode or
dizziness that usually occurs with
prolonged standing or sudden rising
from a sitting or lying position.
Factors that may contribute to heat
syncope include dehydration and
lack of acclimatization.
Heat Cramps



Affect workers who sweat a lot
during strenuous activity.
This depletes the body’s salt and
moisture levels which may cause
painful cramps.
Heat cramps may also be a
symptom of heat exhaustion.
Heat Rash

Heat rash is a skin irritation caused
by excessive sweating during hot,
humid weather.
Responding to Heat Related
Illnesses


Heat illness can develop and
become worse quickly.
Assist in getting the person cooled
down as quickly as possible.
What to do if someone shows
signs of a heat related illness:



Have the person stop working and
rest in a cool or shaded area. Do not
leave the person alone.
Activate the Emergency Response
System by dialing EMERGENCY
5333
If the person is conscious give them
water in small frequent amounts. Do
not give anything by mouth to an
unconscious person.
What to do if someone shows
signs of a heat related illness:


If the person is suffering from heat
cramps have them massage the
affected area.
Loosen tight fitting clothing (i.e. belts,
ties, unbutton top buttons of a shirt).
What to do if someone shows
signs of a heat related illness:


Fan or apply ice packs and/or wet
towels to the neck.
In more severe cases, apply ice packs
and/or wet towels to the sides,
armpits, and groin.
Precautions for Preventing Heat
Related Illnesses




Drink plenty of water frequently (3-4 cups
every hour).
Take breaks in cool, shaded areas and allow
time for recovery.
Avoid the use of alcohol and caffeine during
periods of extreme heat.
If you or your co-worker begin to exhibit sings
or symptoms of heat illness notify your
supervisor and seek immediate medical
attention.
Precautions for Preventing Heat
Related Illnesses



Wear clothing that provides
protection from the sun but allows
airflow to the body.
Protect your head and eyes when
working outdoors.
Immediately report all unsafe
conditions to and/or concerns to your
supervisor.
