Fire Safety

Fire safety is important and necessary in the any workplace in order to prevent and protect against the destruction caused by fire. Fire safety reduces the risk of injury and building damage that fires can cause.

Fire is a chemical reaction that requires three elements to be present for the
reaction to take place and continue. The three elements are: 

Heat, or an ignition source.  Fuel. Oxygen                           

These three elements typically are referred to as the “fire triangle.” Fire is the result of the reaction between the fuel and oxygen in the air. Scientists developed the concept of a fire triangle to aid in understanding of the cause of fires and how they can be prevented and extinguished. Heat, fuel and oxygen must combine in a precise way for a fire to start and continue to burn. If one element of the fire triangle is not present or removed, fire will not start or, if already burning, will extinguish.
