Fire-prevention is the term used to indicate measures directed toward averting the occurrences of fire.
To prevent fire is to protect lives and properties and ensure the continuity of operation. Important
safety and operational
is emphasized by a system of classification using the words: DANGER, WARNING & CAUTION described

The Fire Triangle below illustrates the components necessary for combustion that normally occurs on
site:


O
X F
Y U THE FIRE TRIANGLE
G E
E L 1. Oxygen
N 2. Fuel
3. Heat


KINDLING POINT OR HEAT

All of these components may be present when oxygen is recompressed into a regulation quickly.

OXYGEN: The oxygen is provided by the cylinder in very pure form. High purity oxygen affects
combustion differently that does atmospheric air. High purity oxygen accelerates the rate of
combustion, increase heat output, & lowers the combustible point of any material.

FUEL: The fuel for combustion may be the regulator itself if enough heat is produced to reach
the kindling temperature of the regulators components.

KINDLING POINT (TEMP) OR HEAT: Enough heat may be generated by the friction created
when recompressing high pressure oxygen to ignite the regulator components. This heat is known as
the Heat of Recompression.

The Safety Department is equipped with adequate fire fighting equipment
General Fire Safety Rules & Precautions measures are periodically circulated through safety and toolbox
meetings, posters & bulletin boards.

INSTRUCTIONS WHEN THERE IS FIRE OCCURRENCE:

When a fire unavoidably breaks out, all workers are advised to do the following:

A. WHEN YOU ARE WHERE THE FIRE BREAKS OUT:
1. Immediately turn on the fire alarm or yell and shout to inform others of the fire.
