BSTR-P Fire awarness partial online refresher V01
FIRE COMBUSTION AND FIRE SPREAD
20 min.
The aim of this lesson is to reduce the risk of injury in the wind industry by refreshing and building upon the participants fire awareness knowledge of combustion, fire spread, the different types of fires, the composition of and risks associated with fire gasses and the elements needed for a fire.
To successfully complete this lesson each course participant shall be able to:
Describe the classes of fire (L1 – Knowledge)
Explain how the material state and material surface area can affect combustion and fire spread (L2 - Knowledge)
Explain basic fire theory and the triangle of combustion (L2 - Knowledge)
Explain how a fire can spread and the dangers of fire gases (L2 - Knowledge)
ELEMENT 3.1 - TYPES OF FIRES
The instructor shall:
Lead a discussion about the classes of fire that the participants might encounter in their working environment Describe the classes of fire e.g. liquids, solids and gasses (refer to table L4-3 in lesson 4 for details)
ELEMENT 3.2 - MATERIALS AND FIRE
The instructor shall:
Lead a discussion about how the surface area can influence the intensity and spread of a fire Explain how the material state and the surface area and influence combustion and fire spread
ELEMENT 3.3 - TRIANGLE OF COMBUSTION
The instructor shall:
Lead a discussion about the element needed for a fire to burn and how removal of these elements will influence the fire
Show an example of and describe the triangle of combustion
Explain the which elements are needed for a fire to occur with reference to the 3 sides of the triangle of combustion (oxygen, material and temperature)
