Classes of Fires
• Class A: Solid fires - paper, wood, textiles and general
rubbish.
• Class B: Flammable liquids & solids fuels, alcohol, oils,
greases and oil-based paints and waxes.
• Class C: Natural Gas and Liquid Petroleum Gases such as
LPG- Butane and Propane.
• Class D: High intensity metals - magnesium, potassium,
sodium, titanium and zirconium. Greatest hazard when
they are either in liquid (molten) form, or in finely
divided forms such as dust, chippings, turnings or
shavings.
7
• Electrical: electrical fires are not considered to
constitute a fire class of their own, as electricity is a
source of ignition that will feed the fire until
removed. When the electrical supply has been
isolated the fire can be generally treated as a ‘Class
A’ for extinguishing purposes

Precautions with Electricity
31
A person receiving an electric shock, should follow the
basic actions:
•Shout for help and ensure there is no danger of also
becoming a victim
•Switch off the electrical current or remove the victim
from the supply by means of insulated material
•If the victim has ceased breathing, initiate resuscitation
•Call for professional medical help
•If the victim is suffering from burns, exclude air from
wounds
•Treat for shock by keeping the victim warm
•The approved methods of artificial resuscitation must, by
law, be displayed on wall charts in workplaces.

Noise Hazards
33
High Pressure Gases - Safety
• Do not use compressed gas to blow away dust or dirt, and never direct
high-pressure gas at a person.
34
• Concentrated stream of high-pressure gas can penetrate cuts
and wounds in the skin.

• BS EN 1089:3 is the standard to determine the
correct colour and shade for each gas type.
40
• A number of gas bottles are usually stored on a
trolley, which incorporates a pressure control and
regulating valve as well as an isolating valve.
43
Oxygen System
• Smaller aircraft can carry oxygen in cylinders whilst
the larger, civil aircraft have individual chemical
oxygen generator (COG) units.
44
Oxygen Gas Safety
• Aircraft utilise more than one type of gas.
45
Aviation Oils and Fuels
• All petroleum based products have an ignition temperature or
flash point.
• Regular contact of the skin with oils and fuels cause dermatitis.
• Balance-weights
• Smoke detectors
• Instruments 49

Rich, here’s one our team did this morning. Tell Carl &
T.O. there lucky they are not the flight chief’s of this
one. Here’s the pictures on the seriously damaged
KC-10 at hangar 810 and hangar 818 area. please
stay away for now since the aircraft is impounded by
the IG. the accident occurred because the tow team
DID NOT follow tech data procedures. The tow
team disconnected the yoke to open the hangar doors
at hangar 810 because it would not open. The tow
team DID NOT chock the aircraft, which rolled down
the embankment and hit the t-tail stand, dragging it
until it rolled over on the dirt area at hangar 818. The
accident caused severe damage to the aircraft! We
MUST pay close attention to detail on our jobs.
Everybody have a safe and good day.
