    The document classifies different types of fire extinguishers based on the class of fire they are meant to extinguish. Class A extinguishers use water and are for combustible materials like paper and wood. Class B extinguishers use chemicals like carbon dioxide, foam, or dry chemicals for organic compounds. Class C extinguishers use dry chemicals or carbon dioxide for electrical fires. Class D extinguishers can use various agents for combustible metals. Class K extinguishers use agents like carbon dioxide or foam that won't splash for grease or oil fires. The document also lists some laboratory safety procedures such as knowing the locations of safety equipment, assuming all chemicals are toxic, and properly disposing of waste.
