 Fire Watch

A person assigned to monitor the risk of fire associated

with the nature of the job (hot work) being performed.

He should be familiar with the PPEs PTW procedure &

with the hazards associated with the work & be able to
take actions for their containment. He must also be able to
properly use the appropriate fire extinguisher.

He must be suitably trained & certified competent in the

equipment he has to handle

10
 Fire Watch – Mandatory Requirement

Mandatory for monitoring the work area while fire

and gas systems are inhibited for hot work e.g.
welding, grinding, chipping, and burning.

11
 Duties of a Fire Watch

• Suitable fire fighting equip. is available & ready for

immediate use.
• Flammable materials are cleared away from the worksite &
drains remain covered & sealed.
• Work site is cordoned off, unauthorized persons are not
allowed entry & escape routes are & remain unobstructed.
• Sparks & welding spatter are contained (using fire
blankets, curtains, water sprays etc)
• They are familiar with the location of the nearest Fire alarm
activation means.
• They are able to use gas-monitoring equip. & to interpret
correctly the readings displayed by such equip.
• Alarm is raised where a fire / gas release occurs in the
area.
• Work site is left clean & in a hazard free state during hot
work, prior to crew breaks & on completion of activities.
12
 Responsibilities of Fire Watch:

Prior to receiving PTW:

1. Inspect work area, equip. &
machinery
2. Discuss TRA
3. Discuss job scope &
Inspect tools, equip. & PPE
4. Participate in pre-job safety
meeting with entire crew

13
 Responsibilities of Fire Watch:

While work is in progress

1. Continuously check for changing conditions
2. Ensure work remains within agreed job
scope
3. Be continuously present at site.
4. Look out for fire hazards & take preventive
steps
5. Ensure safe use of tools, equip., PPE
6. Controls during temporary work stoppages &
meal breaks
7. PTW validity & extension
14
 Responsibilities of Fire Watch:

When returning PTW

1. Ensure area & equipment left in safe

condition
2. Ensure all tools, equipment, spares, debris,
etc. removed from site.
3. Be the last one to leave the work site

15
 Necessary Precautions

Precautions within 35 ft. (10 m.) of work.

 Floors swept clean of combustibles.
 Combustible floors wet down, covered with damp sand or fire-resistive sheets.
 Flammable liquids removed; other combustibles, if not removed protected with
fire-resistive tarpaulins or metal shields.
 Explosive atmosphere in area eliminated.
 All wall & floor openings covered.
 Fire-resistive tarpaulins suspended beneath work.

Work on Walls or Ceilings

 Construction is noncombustible & without combustible covering or isolation.
 Combustibles moved away from other side of wall.

Work on Enclosed Equipment

 Enclosed equipment cleaned of all combustibles.
 Containers purged of flammable liquids.

16
 Housekeeping

• Neatness prevents fires

• Keep work area free of debris

– Oil
– Grease
– Solvents
– Similar materials

 The Fire Triangle

In order to understand how fire extinguishers work,

you first need to know a little bit about fire.

Essentially, fire extinguishers put out fire by taking away

one or more elements of the fire triangle.
19
 Types of Fires

CLASS A - Wood,
paper, cloth, trash,
plastics

CLASS B - Oil, gas

grease, flammable
liquids

CLASS C - Electrical,
Entergized electrical
equipment

Most fire extinguishers

will have a label telling
you what kind of fire
the extinguisher is for.

 All Purpose Water

23
 REMEMBER P.A.S.S.

Pull the pin. This will allow you to discharge the extinguisher

Aim at the base of the fire.

If you aim at the flames (which is frequently the temptation),
the extinguishing agent will fly right through and do no good.
You want to hit the fuel.
24
 Squeeze the top handle or lever.
This depresses a button that releases the
pressurized extinguishing agent in the
extinguisher.

Sweep from side to side

until the fire is completely out. Start
using the extinguisher from a safe
distance away, then move forward.
Once the fire is out, keep an eye on
the area in case it re-ignites.
25
 Fire extinguishers

• Don’t aim high at flames

• Fire extinguishers have limited operation

time - 8 to 10 seconds

• Time is of the essence

26
 Appropriate use of extinguishers
• You can fight the fire with your back toward
an escape route

• The extinguisher matches the fire type

• The extinguisher works effectively

27
 Appropriate use of extinguishers

• You are properly trained in the use of the

extinguisher

• You are confident you can put the fire out

28
 Inappropriate use of extinguishers
• The fire is large and has grown beyond its
original confined space

• Your escape path is threatened

• You are not sure if you have the correct

type of fire extinguisher
