Additional Safety Knowledge
Fire Extinguisher Classes and When to Use Each
Canadian fires are classified by fuel type. Choosing the wrong extinguisher can worsen the fire — water on an oil fire spreads flames; CO2 on burning metal is ineffective. The 5 classes:
- Class A: ordinary combustibles — wood, paper, cloth, plastic. Water, foam, or ABC dry chemical extinguishers.
- Class B: flammable liquids and gases — gasoline, diesel, propane, solvents. CO2, dry chemical, or foam extinguishers.
- Class C: energised electrical equipment. CO2 or dry chemical only — never water or foam.
- Class D: combustible metals — magnesium, sodium, titanium, lithium. Specialised dry powder agents only.
- Class K: commercial kitchen fires involving cooking oils and fats. Wet chemical (potassium acetate) extinguishers.
The PASS Technique
Fire extinguishers are used with the PASS method: Pull the pin, Aim at the base of the fire, Squeeze the handle, Sweep side to side. Stand 2–3 metres back with your escape route behind you. Most portable extinguishers discharge fully in 8–20 seconds. If the fire does not go out immediately, evacuate and call emergency services.
30 Pound Abc Fire Extinguisher — Inspection and Maintenance
Canadian fire codes require monthly visual inspection (pressure gauge in green, seal intact, no damage, clear access) and annual professional maintenance. Hydrostatic testing every 5 or 12 years depending on the extinguisher type. Workplaces must maintain inspection records for at least 12 months.
Evacuation Planning
Every Alberta workplace must have a written emergency response plan under OHS Code Part 7. It must include evacuation routes, muster point locations, roll-call procedures, and designated emergency response personnel. Employees must be trained on the plan before starting work and drills must be conducted at reasonable intervals.
