6 What are your fire safety responsibilities as a Mater staff member? Under Building Fire Safety Regulations 2008: 1. We are all responsible for the safety and welfare of patients, staff and visitors. Failure to ensure their safety could result in injury or death. 2. You have a duty to follow all emergency protocols and procedures. 3. It is your responsibility to attend a fire safety and evacuation lecture at corporate orientation and complete your fire safety and evacuation training annually thereafter. What three elements are required to create and sustain a fire? Fire is a chemical reaction which has the ability to propagate through the atmosphere with the emission of light and heat. A fire emergency within Mater Health Services is called a Code Red (Mater Health Services Policy MHS-EM-015). Fire Triangle Fire is made up of three elements. All three must be present to create a fire. Oxygen O 2 Fuel Can be combustible, flammable or electrical Heat To a temperature where fuels will ignite (MHS Image 1) Fire Safety and Evacuation Induction Resource Page 4
7 Classes of Fire There are six classes of fire and they are determined by the type of fuel involved. A B C D E F (Mater Health Services Policy MHS-EM-015) What is Mater s Fire Safety Protocol? Upon discovery of a fire follow the R.A.C.E acronym. R A C E Fire Safety and Evacuation Induction Resource Page 5
8 R REMOVE Remove all persons in immediate danger to stage one evacuation, if safe to do so: Ambulant patients first Semi-ambulant patients next Non-ambulant last (Coronary Care, Intensive care and Operating Theatres) A ALERT Alert nearby staff by activating manual call point Alert Switch on 555 for South Brisbane campus and state: - Code Red - Location of area involved in the fire - Your name and classification - Any needed additional information, such as persons injured or extent of fire spread. Note: for Mater Redlands - Dial Ask for fire brigade - State Nature of emergency fire - Location - Your name and classification - Any needed additional information, such as persons injured or extent of fire spread C CONFINE If possible close all doors and windows to contain fire and smoke but only if safe to do so. E EXTINGUISH Attempt to extinguish the fire but only if safe to do so. (MHS Image 2) Try to work in pairs to extinguish a fire. Always stand with an exit at your back Stand approximately 2 metres away from the fire, moving closer once fire starts to diminish. Use a sweeping motion and aim at the base of the fire. Fire Safety and Evacuation Induction Resource Page 6
9 Safety Points DO NOT use the lifs and prevent others from doing so in a FIRE emergency. The ONLY time the lifts can be used is under the direct authorisation and control of fire & rescue personnel. (Mater Health Services Policy MHS-EM-015) How do I safely extinguishing fire? Removing one of the elements will extinguish the fire. Remove the O2 and the fire will be smothered. (MHS Image 3) Remove the heat and the fire will be cooled. Remove the fuel and you will take away the source of the fire (MHS-EM-015). Classes of Fire There are six classes of fire: A. Free burning carbonaceous materials (eg: paper, wood, cloth, plastics) B. Flammable liquids, liquefiable solids, paints, thinners & rubber C. Flammable gases & liquefiable gases D. Combustible Metals E. Electrical fires including any equipment with an electrical source F. Fat fires (eg: cooking oil) Fire Safety and Evacuation Induction Resource Page 7
10 Water Types and uses of extinguishers Dry Chemical Suitable for A Class fires ONLY Has a cooling effect Suitable for A,B,C,E& F Class fires. This is the primary extinguisher used at Mater and can be used on most fires. Has a smothering effect (MHS Image 4) (MHS Image 5) Carbon Dioxide Foam Suitable for E Class fires. Primarily designed for Electrical fires but can be used on most types of fires. Suitable for B Class fires. Primarily designed for most flammable liquid fires. Do not use on electrical fires. Used in Engineering plant rooms only. Has a smothering effect Has a cooling and smothering (MHS Image 6) (MHS Image 7) effect Wet Chemical Suitable for F Class fires. Designed for cooking oil and fat fires only. This extinguisher is only used in kitchens. Can also be used on A Class fires. (MHS Image 8) Has a cooling & smothering effect When should I use an Extinguisher? Prior to using first response equipment, ensure that: The fire is small, approximately 1 square metre in surface area, and not spreading. You have the correct type of fire extinguisher for what is burning. The fire will not block your exit if you can t control it. You know how to use the fire extinguisher. You are confident to approach the fire. Do not use first response equipment if: The fire is spreading rapidly. Only use extinguisher when the fire is in its early stages.

Fire Safety and Evacuation Induction Resource Page 8
11 How do I operate an Extinguisher? Extinguishers are easy to use! The acronym to help you remember is PASS. P A S S Pull safety pin Aim the hose at the base of the fire Squeeeze the trigger Sweep - attack the fire in a sweeping motion (MHS-EM-015) Other Extinguishing Equipment Fire hose reels are located on all floors of the major building throughout the complex. Operation of the hose reels is clearly defined on the decals on the reels. These hoses can be up to 36 metres long and supply large amounts of water. They are not to be used on electrical or flammable liquids fires (Mater Health Services Policy MHS-EM-015). Fire blankets are fitted in certain areas of the hospital and ancillary buildings such as theatres, kitchens and engineering workshops. When deployed fire blankets smother the burning surface and in so doing extinguish the fire (Mater Health Services Emergency Management Manual Section 3B).
