Means of Fighting Fire

And also providing fire extinguishers for hot work, fire extinguishers should be located at determined fire points surrounding the site. The extinguishers should be appropriate to the size of the potential fire:
  • wood, paper and cloth – water extinguisher;
  • flammable liquids – dry powder or foam extinguisher;
  • electrical – carbon dioxide (CO2) extinguisher
Nominated people should be trained in the way to use extinguishers.

If the building being worked in is occupied (eg an office, hotel or hospital), make sure the work does not interfere with the escape route from the building, or any type of fire splitting up, alarms, dry risers, or sprinkler systems. Check this with the building occupier or the Fire Atelier.



Fire doors should never be locked, left wide open or removed. Keep existing wet and dry risers ready for use and install any new ones as soon as possible.
