FIRE PREVENTION MEASURES

     Hazardous / flammable chemicals and combustible materials must be kept away from  ignition sources.

1、  Hazardous / flammable chemicals and combustible materials must be stored in a     safe location.

2、 All   the   Hazardous/flammable         chemicals     should    be  kept   away    from    ignition   sources (sources of heat).

3、 Hazardous      (classified)   locations    are  defined    as   those   areas    where    fire  or   explosion hazards may exist due to the presence of flammable gases or vapors,  

flammable       liquids,  combustible  dust,   or  ignitable   fibers.  Some      examples    of   flammable liquids and gases are: petrol, octane,  diesel, kerosene, paint

thinner, spirit,   spot   remover,   any   hydrocarbon,   e.g.,   methane   or   CNG,   LPG,  Acetylene,  etc.

4、 No electrical lights or connections should be over-head in the area where     combustible materials, such as acrylic materials, are stored.  All lights are to be   on the walls

with a safe distance between the lights andthe starting point of the  storage on the floor.

5、 When such stores are kept un-attended for long periods of time, specifically   when the facility is not in operation, persons responsible should perform regular,      recorded

fire rounds in these areas.

6、  Sufficient smoke/heat/flame detectors should be fitted in these areas for early   warning in the event of a fire.

7、 Persons   working      in  these   areas   should    be  provided    adequate      training  with  regards  to   handling   fires   that   may   occur   through   the   ignition   or  

explosion   of     Hazardous/Flammable chemicals.

8、Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) of all the Hazardous/Flammable chemicals  should be displayed in local language near the storage of the respective     chemical.

9、Adequate   training  including  knowledge   of   the   properties   of   flammable   liquids   are    essential    for   their  safe    storage    and   handling     must    be   provided    

by   management    to  all  staff  who  will  come   into   contact   with   stored   flammable  liquids.

10、 A  preventive   maintenance   program   must   be   put   in   place   for   flammable   liquid     systems and equipment installed in hazardous (classified) locations. 

Hazardous/flammable   chemicals   and   combustible   materials   must   not   be   kept   on  the  roof   of   the facility  or   dormitory.   They   should   be   stored   in   a 

designated   place   away  from production floors, warehouse including yarn/fabric store, and the dormitories.
