What are flammable hazards?

Flammable hazards are substances
or materials that are capable of
catching fire and burning easily. These
types of hazards pose a risk of fire and
explosion if they come into contact
with an ignition source, such as a
spark, flame, or electrical current.

What causes fire hazards?

Fire hazards are commonly caused by
flammable materials such as gasoline, gas,
alcohol, and solvents can increase the risk of a
fire. A fire needs an ignition source to start,
such as a flame, spark, or electrical current.
Common ignition sources include cigarettes,
matches, electrical appliances, and heating
equipment.

How to prevent fire hazards?

Store flammable materials safely:
Keep flammable liquids, such as
gasoline, solvents, and cleaning
products, in approved containers and
store them in a cool, dry place away
from heat sources and ignition sources.

What to do during a Fire emergency?

If you are in a building or other enclosed
space and you see or smell smoke, you should
immediately evacuate the building. If you are
unable to evacuate, go to a room with windows,
close all doors and windows, and cover vents
and cracks to keep smoke out as much as
possible. If possible, use a wet towel or cloth to
cover your nose and mouth.

PREVENTION IS
BETTER THAN CURE.
