Most workers have been taught what a Class A fire is, but have they been taught what 1-A, 2-A, 3-A, 4-A, 6-A, and 8-A… mean? Here are some basic facts regarding fire extinguisher ratings. Class A and B extinguishers will only have numerical ratings; Class C and D do not. The rating is an indication of how much fire they will SAFELY extinguish. For example, 2-A:20-BC will...

How does your facility manage this? These days most facilities use written Hot Work Permits, either because of regulatory requirements or they are required by their insurance company. And most facilities also assign a fire watch for each permit. But this is where the similarities end and how the fire watch personnel are managed is the common flaw in the execution of a safe hotwork...
