Ladders - Construction Safety - Hazards and Solutions

HAZARDS:

Ladders and stairways are source of injuries and fatalities among construction workers. OSHA estimates that there are 24,882 injuries and as many as 36 fatalities per year due to falls on stairways and ladders used in construction. Nearly half of these injuries were serious enough to require time off the job.

Solutions:

• These have internal thread for attachment to the branch. 
• As a precaution against damage the delivery orifice is counter sunk in the nozzle to a depth of 3 mm. 
• The base of the nozzle is hexagonally shaped to permit the use of spanner. 
• Standard nozzles to fit any branch with 63 mm or 70 mm hose are made of machined gun metal and vary in length from 4 to 4V2".The bores of the nozzle vary in diameter from 4.6 mm to 44 mm.
• Larger bores are used in Deluge sets or Monitors etc. 
• Besides there are nozzles used for Hose Reel Hose, Portable Extinguishers.

TYPES OF FIRE EXTINGUISHERS

PORTABLE FIRE EXTINGUISHERS

Portable fire extinguishers are also known as chemical fire extinguishers or First Aid Fire Fighting Appliances.

These extinguishers are highly useful to prevent a small fire from becoming a big one, provided these are used when the fire is just in its starting stage, say within first five minutes. These are light weight, small in size which can be easily carried by hand.

Larger models of certain types are also available which are known as "engines". These are mounted on trolleys, which can be moved manually or toed to motor vehicles.

• Water Type Extinguishers
• Foam Extinguishers
• Dry Chemical Powder Extinguishers
• Halon Extinguishers
• Carbon dioxide Extinguishers

FIRE TETRAHEDRON

There are basic 3 element need to produce fire.

• HEAT
• FUEL
• OXYGEN

if one of component is not presents the fire will not created.

Beside 3 elements there is forth element which is essential for continuation of fire once ignited.this is known as "CHAIN REACTION".

Once fire occurs the burned substunce produce lots of heat which tends to burn remaining fuel substance.this reaction occurs again and again.which is called "chain reaction"

Fire is OXIDATION process which produce heat its is also called EXOTHERMIC reaction..

OXIDATION = EXOTHERMIC R. = PRODUCE HEAT.
REDUCTION = ENDOTHERMIC R. = ABSORB HEAT.

Flame Detection & Heat Detection

Flame Detection, Photoelectric cells detect the emission of infra‐red /ultra-­violet radiation.

Flammable Gas Detection, Flammable gas detectors measure the amount of flammable gas in the atmosphere and compare the value with a reference value. When this is exceeded the gas supply valve is closed an alarm is actuated.

Heat Detection, Heat detection can be used as a means of actuating a mechanical control or sprinkler system. The disadvantage of heat detection is that toxic smoke can be evolved from burning materials long before sufficient heat is generated to trigger the mechanism. These systems are rarely relied upon as a means of raising the alarm, however where fires raise little smoke, e.g. solvent fires, fixed temperature or rate of rise detectors can be used.

Fusible links are sensors operated by the melting of a metal (fusion detectors), e.g. used to open automatic smoke vents and close ventilation system dampers and shutters; or expansion of a solid, liquid or gas (thermal expansion detectors), e.g. to actuate sprinkler systems.

Common Fire Detection and Alarm System

MANUAL SYSTEMS:
Manual systems are suitable for small workplaces and involve the use of the following basic devices:

• Rotary Gongs – which are sounded by turning a handle around the rim of the gong.
• Hand Strikers – for example, iron triangles suspended from a wall accompanied by a metal bar which is used to strike the triangle manually.
• Hand bells.
• Whistles.
• Air-­horns.

These devices are normally located on the walls of corridors, entrance halls and staircase landings, etc., where they are readily available to anyone who may have to raise an alarm. While these types of manual systems provide for an alarm over a limited area, operation of one of them is rarely adequate to give a general alarm throughout the premises. Also, as a person is required to operate them, a continuous alarm cannot be guaranteed for as long as may be necessary.

In order to raise a more general alarm it is also possible to use facilities which may already be installed in a building for other purposes – for example, a telephone or public address system. With automatic telephone systems, arrangements can be made for a particular dialling code to be reserved for reporting a fire to a person responsible for calling the fire brigade and sounding the general alarm. Alternatively it can be arranged that use of the code automatically sounds the general alarm.

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.

Precautions to prevent fires

The following precautions should be taken to prevent fires:

• use less-easily ignited and fewer flammable materials, eg use water-based or low-solvent glues and paint;
• keep the quantity of flammables at the workplace to a minimum;
• always keep and carry flammable liquids in suitable closed containers;
• have an extinguisher to hand when doing hot work such as welding or using a disc cutter that produces sparks;
• check the site at lunch time and at the end of the day to see that all plant and equipment that could cause a fire is turned off. Stop hot working an hour before people go home, as this will allow more time for smouldering fires to be identified; and
• provide closed metal containers to collect rubbish and remove them from the site regularly. Collect highly flammable waste such as solvent-soaked rags separately in closed fire-resisting containers.
