E:M <br /> FIRE EXTINGUISHER LOCATION & BASIC OPERATION <br /> All extinguishers in the buildings may be used on fires originating from wood, paper, <br /> plastic, grease, oil and electricity. <br /> Operating A Fire Extinguisher: <br /> • To open the cabinet, turn the handle and pull open. <br /> • Remember the "P-A-S-S" method for effective fire extinguisher use: <br /> P-Pull the safety pin. This is usually the pin with a string attached. <br /> A-Aim the hose, nozzle or horn at the base of the fire. <br /> S-Squeeze the trigger handle <br /> S-Sweep from side to side and watch for the re-flash of the fire. <br /> NOTE: ALWAYS MAINTAINE A THREE-FOOT CLEARANCE AREA AROUND FIRE EQUIPMENT. <br /> ONCE THE EQUIPMENT HAS BEEN USED, DO NOT TRY TO RE-HANG IT, EVEN FOR A FEW <br /> SECONDS. USED EXTINGUISHER'S SHOULD BE SERVICED IMMEDIATELY! <br /> EARTHQUAKES <br /> Earthquake Preparedness <br /> While the office building is structurally designed to minimize earthquake damage, it is <br /> wise for all occupants to be well prepared as well as keenly aware of the earthquake <br /> emergency procedures. <br /> The following SUPPLIES will be necessary to protect and sustain your employees in the <br /> event of an earthquake: <br /> ❑ Food-stock your office with non-perishable and easy-to-store food products such as <br /> dehydrated foods and food bars. <br /> ❑ Water-keep at least a three-day supply of purified water.
