1.1. Classes of fire
Class A: often known as solid fires, witch occur in materials such as paper,
wood, textiles and general rubbish.
Class B: often described as liquid fires, and include fires in materials such as
internal combustion engine fuels, alcohol, oils, greases and oil-based paints.
Class C: include fires involving flammable gases and electrical fires (witch
can occur in fuse boxes, switches, appliances, motors and generators).
Class D: refer to fires of high intensity, witch may occur in such metals as
magnesium, potassium, sodium, titanium and zirconium. The greatest
hazard in these materials, is when they are either in liquid (molten) form, or
in finely divided forms such as dust, chippings , turnings or shavings .
Class E: involved electrical apparatus.
Class F: cooking oil and fat, etc.
1.2. Electricity
Voltage/Current Possible Outcome
50V ac or 100V dc May give rise to dangerous shocks
1 mA Harmless tingle
1 – 12 mA Painful, but can be released
12 – 20 mA Very painful, cannot be released
20 – 50 mA Paralyses of respiration
> 50 mA Heart stoppage
1.3. Noise
Ear protection is optional where noise levels are less than 85 dB, but is mandatory
when greater than 90 dB.
NOTE: The oxygen bottle installed on the aircraft are grey coloured.
2.1. Callipers
Callipers are a type of measuring device, typically used to measure diameters and
distances or for comparing sizes. The three basic types of caliper are:
Outside Callipers: Used to measure the outside diameter of an object and
have legs that point inwards.
Inside Callipers: Used to measure the inside of a hole and have legs that
point outwards.
Odd-Leg Callipers: This tool is really half calipers and half dividers. It may be
used for scribing arcs on metal surfaces from an edge, for scribing lines
parallel to an edge or surface, (provided accuracy is not of great
importance), and for finding the centre of a round bar.
2.2. Srewdrivers
Despite the many shapes and sizes which may be met, it can be stated that the
screwdrivers may be divided into two main groups, witch, basically, are:
Blade Screwdrivers
Cross-Point Screwdrivers
2.3. Pliers
Water Pump Pliers
Vise-Grip Pliers
