FIRE PREVENTION <br />Although the product at Natural Soda's nahcolite solution plant is not a flammable hazard, fire <br />remains a serious consideration for all employees. Fire prevention consists of controlling the <br />supply of flammable and combustible materials as well as any possible sources of ignition. <br />1. The dry terrain surrounding the nahcolite plant is a definite source of combustion and <br />extra caution must be exerted extinguishing smoking materials at the plant and in route. <br />Always be certain your cigarette butt, match or pipe ash is out. Take the time to grind <br />them underfoot or throw them in butt cans. <br />2. Oil, flammable liquids and grease shall be in containers provided for them. The <br />containers must be labeled as to their contents. <br />3. Fire extinguishers are conveniently located throughout the plant, office building and <br />remote work areas. These are provided for instant use. Do not pile or store materials in <br />such a manner that they interfere with access to an extinguisher. Portable, ABC dry <br />chemical extinguishes work for most types of fire. This is the most common extinguisher <br />throughout the plant site. Halon extinguishes are supplied in control room and electrical <br />control panels areas for electrical fires. Surrounding the plant are fire hydrants. Water <br />extinguishment works well for most solid flammable fuel, for structure fires, and for <br />cooling structures during brush fires, but should not be used on an electrical fire. <br />4. If you discharge a fire extinguisher or find one that is not charged, label it so it can be <br />replaced in the correct location, and then take it to the warehouse for a replacement. <br />Daub & Associates, Inc.
