2. #1
Practice good workplace
housekeeping. Clutter
contributes to fires by
providing fuel and by
preventing access to exits
and emergency
equipment.

3. #2
Place oily rags in a
covered metal container.
This waste must be
properly disposed of on
a regular basis.

4. #3
Report electrical hazards.
Many fires start in faulty
wiring and malfunctioning
electrical equipment.
Never attempt electrical
repairs unless you are
qualified and authorized.

5. #4
Maintain free access to all
electrical control panels.
Material or equipment
stored in front of the panels
would slow down the
shutting down of power in
an emergency situation.

6. #5
Use and store chemicals
safely. Read the label and
the Material Safety Data
Sheet to determine
flammability and other fire
hazards. Provide adequate
ventilation when using and
storing these substances.

7. #6
Help maintain building security
to prevent arson fires. Report
suspicious persons; and
don’t leave combustible
rubbish where it can be set
afire outside the building.

8. #7
Smoke only in designated
areas, and extinguish
smoking materials
safely.
Never smoke in
storerooms or
chemical storage areas.

9. #8
Never block sprinklers,
firefighting equipment or
emergency exits.
Observe clearances
when stacking materials.

10. #9
Post emergency telephone
numbers as well as the
company address by the
telephone in your station
for quick access if a fire
were to start in your work
area.

11. #10
Learn how to properly use a
fire extinguisher.
