Fire Safety Basics

Hello everyone, I’m Kenny, safety officer at ABC Industrial Manufacturing. In today’s fire safety training, we'll teach you the common causes of fire, and how to act when it happens.

It could be an overheating machine, a loose electrical wire, or materials stored too close to a heat source.

That is why prevention always comes first: always remember to check your equipment before and after use, and never ignore warning signs.

So what should we do when a fire happens?

But if a fire does occur, your response matters. First, stay calm and follow emergency procedures immediately. Activate the alarm, alert nearby coworkers, and move quickly to the nearest safe exit. Never panic, and never attempt to fight a fire that is already spreading beyond control.

Also, make sure you know how to use a fire extinguisher correctly. Remember the basic PASS method: Pull the pin, Aim at the base of the fire, Squeeze the handle, and Sweep from side to side. Using the correct extinguisher the right way can make all the difference, while improper use can increase the risk.

Remember, safety is not just a rule. It is a habit. And every small step you take helps protect everyone around you.
