• Hazard is the potential to cause harm.
• A hazard is a situation in the workplace that has the potential to
harm the health and safety of people or to damage plant and
equipment.
Why to Know about the hazard
• If not handled properly they will result in
accident/ disaster etc.
• To eliminate accidents.
• To minimise occurrence of accidents.
• To control the loss and damage that an accident
may cause.
• To provide various protection measures to safe
guard man and machine.

What is Fire
 An exothermic reaction resulting
combination of heat fuel and oxygen.
from
 Fire involves rapid oxidation at high
temperatures accompanied by the evolution
of highly heated gaseous products of
combustion and emission of visible and
invisible radiation.
 Initiation of fire requires combustible
materials, oxygen and an energy source
(heat) to provide ignition. Three components fuel , oxygen & heat are referred as the fire
triangle
Classification of Fire
 Class-A - Fires involving ordinary combustible materials
like wood,paper,textiles,rubber etc.
 Class-B -Fires involving flammable liquids or liquefiable
solids, such as oils, solvents, petroleum products,paints,
varnishes etc.
 Class-C - Fire involving gases or liquefied gases under
pressure for eg. LPG, Hydrogen etc.
 Class-D Fire involving combustible metal
Magnesium, sodium Zinc, Titanium etc.

Classification of Petroleum Product
Petroleum Products are divided in to following
classes
 Class A
- Flash point < 23 deg. C
 Class B - Flash point > 23 degC &< 65 degC
 Class C - flash point > 65 degC & < 93 deg.C
 Unclassified : flash point> 93 deg.c and above
Important Properties of Petroleum Product
 For all flammable liquids, it is the vapour which burns and not the
liquid.
 Flammable vapour burns only when mixed with proper percentage
of oxygen as support of combustion.
 Flammable limits of petroleum products roughly lies between
slightly greater than 1% and less than 10%.
 Petroleum vapour is heavier than air so it has tendency to discend
on ground or lower level or sump.
 Petroleum is immiscible with water. Its specific gravity is less than
1, so they float on water
 Electric conductivity of almost all petroleum products ( except
crude oil, ethanol etc.) is very low and hence it generates static
electricity during storage and transportation
Principle of fire Extinction
 Starvation
- Removing or blanketing the fuel
 Smothering - Cutting off or diluting the oxygen supply
 Cooling - Removing heat from the fire.
