Fire Initiation, Classification and Spread
• Three things must be present for a fire to start: fuel, oxygen and heat.
• The five classes of fire (determined by the types of fuel) are: Class A
(organic solids), Class B (flammable liquids), Class C (flammable gases),
Class D (metals) and Class F (high temperature fats).
• Fire can spread through a workplace by direct burning, convection,
conduction and radiation.
• Fires have many different causes, but common ones are faulty or
misused electric equipment, deliberate ignition, hot works, heating
and cooking appliances, and smoking materials
Basic Principles
The basic principles of fire and combustion can be represented by the fire triangle:

Fire Risk Assessment
• Fire can be prevented by controlling potential fuel sources. Risk from fuel sources can be
managed by elimination, substitution, minimising quantities and by safe use and storage.
• Fire can also be prevented by controlling potential ignition sources such as electrical equipment,
hot works, discarded smoking materials, and cooking and heating appliances.
• Safe systems of work can be used to control work activities involving fire risk, e.g. permit-to-work
systems can be used to manage the risk associated with hot works. This includes ensuring good
standards of housekeeping.
• Flammable liquids must be used and stored with appropriate care to minimise the associated fire
risk.
• If a fire does start within a building then structural measures will normally exist to contain the fire
and smoke in one part of the building. This compartmentation must be maintained; doorways
should be properly protected with self-closing fire doors.
• Electrical equipment must be of a suitable category for use in an explosive atmosphere.
