Fire Safety

Fire Safety. Use of Portable and Fixed Fire Fighting Equipment.

[Audio] The crew members are responsible for maintaining the fire safety equipment and ensuring that it is functioning properly. They must also be trained in the use of fire extinguishers and other firefighting tools. Additionally, they should be aware of the location of emergency exits and the procedures for evacuating the ship in case of an emergency. The crew must also conduct regular inspections of the fire safety equipment and systems to ensure that everything is in working order. This includes checking the functionality of fire hoses, pumps, and other equipment..

Portable Fire Extinguishers. 01.

[Audio] The crew members of the ship are trained to handle emergency situations such as fires. The training includes learning how to operate fire extinguishers, which are essential for preventing fires from spreading quickly. The training also covers other emergency procedures, such as evacuating the ship in case of a fire. The crew members are required to be familiar with the location of all emergency exits and the operation of emergency equipment. The training is designed to prepare them for any situation that may arise during their voyage. The training is conducted by experienced instructors who provide guidance and support throughout the journey. The crew members are expected to follow the instructions provided by the instructors and adhere to the established protocols. The training is ongoing, and the crew members are required to complete regular drills and exercises to maintain their skills..

[Audio] Water is used to extinguish solid fuel fires such as wood, coal, and oil. Foam is used to extinguish both solid and liquid fuel fires including those involving gasoline and diesel. Carbon dioxide (CO2) is used to extinguish electrical fires. Dry powder is used to extinguish gas and liquid fuel fires..

[Audio] The fire safety management system is designed to prevent fires from occurring or spreading quickly. The system includes a range of tools and resources that are used by the crew to identify potential fire hazards, take preventive measures, and respond effectively to fires when they occur. The system also provides guidance on how to evacuate people safely and minimize damage to property..

Fixed Fire Fighting Equipment. 02.

[Audio] The use of portable fire extinguishers is crucial for immediate response to small, localized fires. However, these systems have limitations when it comes to handling larger fires. In contrast, fixed fire fighting systems provide comprehensive coverage for entire ship areas, making them ideal for protecting large spaces such as engine rooms, cargo holds, and accommodation spaces. These systems are typically designed to handle more extensive fires, utilizing agents like CO2, water mist, or dry powder to effectively suppress flames. By understanding how these systems operate and selecting the right type for the area, we can minimize the risk of fire spreading and ensure the safety of everyone on board..

[Audio] The CO2 fixed system is used to combat fires in confined spaces such as engine rooms. This system works by removing oxygen from the air, thereby starving the fire of its primary source of fuel. By displacing oxygen, this system effectively suffocates the fire, preventing it from spreading. In addition, the CO2 fixed system is also effective against fires involving flammable liquids and gases. Furthermore, the Water Mist system utilizes fine water droplets to cool and displace oxygen, making it suitable for use in machinery and accommodation areas. Both systems require careful handling and adherence to specific operational procedures to ensure their safe and effective use..

[Audio] The fire suppression system used in this area is designed to target fires involving flammable gases or liquids. The system uses dry powder to extinguish the fire. The powder is applied in a thin layer to smother the fire. The system can be activated manually or remotely. However, there are certain precautions that must be taken to prevent exposure and ensure the effective application of the powder. These precautions include careful consideration to minimize the risks associated with the system..

[Audio] The proper use of firefighting equipment is essential for preventing fires from spreading and minimizing damage. Understanding how each piece of equipment works is critical to responding effectively in case of an emergency. Crews must be knowledgeable about the operation of their equipment to ensure a safe response. Continuous training and regular drills are necessary to maintain the crew's readiness and proficiency in using these systems. This helps reinforce the ship's safety protocol, ultimately safeguarding the vessel, its crew, and its cargo..

[Audio] The fire safety measures implemented by the company are designed to ensure the well-being of its employees and visitors. The measures include the installation of smoke detectors and sprinkler systems, as well as the provision of portable and fixed fire fighting equipment. These measures are regularly reviewed and updated to reflect changes in technology and industry standards. The company also provides training to its employees on the proper use of these equipment and the procedures for responding to fires. This training is mandatory for all employees who work in areas where fires can occur. The company's goal is to provide a safe working environment for all employees and visitors..
