7 HAZARDS ASSOCIATED WITH PETROL/GASOLINE Fire, explosion, burns, asphyxia : Petrol/gasoline is an extremely flammable substance that ignites under the action of a source of heat (sparks, flames, and so on). Petrol/gasoline vapour constitutes an explosion hazard. It can form explosive mixtures, spread towards a source of heat, and cause a flashback. In the event of a fire o Remove as much of the product as possible from contact with the source of heat (drums, jerry-cans, vehicle, motorbike). o Tackle the fire using sand, a fire blanket, etc. o Tackle the fire using an extinguisher. These are suitable for tackling a fire in its early stages, directing the jet at the base of the flames. o Types of extinguisher : - powder: for electrical fires and those involving fuel, paper, tyres, oil; - CO: for electrical fires and those involving fuel, tyres, oil; - water + wetting agent: for fires involving paper, fuel, grass, tyres. what to do o If it is impossible to fight the fire, withdraw and leave it to burn out. o Position yourself upwind. o In the event of a fire on a vehicle or truck, park it away from any inhabited area. o If the tank, drum or jerry-can changes colour during a fire, leave the area at once. o Always keep away from the ends of bulk fuel tanks (explosion hazard). In the event of a leak or spillage o Remove any sources of ignition (cigarette, road flares, sparks, flames, cooking appliances) from the vicinity. Watch out for static electricity! what to do o If there is no risk, stop the leak (wooden bung, pinch off the pipe). o Soak up or cover the leak with earth, sand. o Transfer the contents into other containers. Take care with empty fuel drums if they are to be transported: fill with water leave cap open. Precautions during refuelling o Use appropriate protective clothing: overalls, gloves, goggles. o If fuel gets onto the body, rinse off copiously with water. o Fire-extinguisher within reach, shovel, fire-blanket. o During fuel transfer, do not smoke or use cooking appliances. o Do not sleep on the stored fuel: danger of asphyxia danger of explosion. o Damp down the storage area to avoid static electricity. HAZARDS ASSOCIATED WITH HOT WORKING Fire, explosion, burns, asphyxia Persons carrying out welding, grinding, cutting, or oxyacetylene cutting must remain alert at all times to the risks involved. Flames or sparks can subject materials surrounding the work area to temperatures of C. Good practices for safe working o Clear away the area around the work area, keeping combustible materials at least 10 m away. Take care with solvent or degreasent containers, spray cans, or stored fuel. o Check that the tools used are in perfect working order. o Prepare or keep readily accessible appropriate firefighting equipment (extinguishers and so on). o Clean up work areas regularly to prevent fire propagating insidiously. Before undertaking hot work on a container or tank that previously contained flammable substances, ensure it is completely emptied and degassed by filling with water, and ventilate liberally during the work.
