The most common fire extinguishers in your workplace are:
1. WATER For wood, paper, textiles and solid materials (RED CYLINDER)
2. CARBON DIOXIDE (CO2) For electrical appliance fires (RED with BLACK markings/fittings)
3 DRY POWDER For liquid fuel and electrical appliance fires (Red with Blue markings/fittings)
4 FOAM For liquid fuel fires (Red with Cream markings/fittings)
5 FIRE BLANKETS For all small fires and fires involving clothing
The above are all portable equipment, in addition to which some areas may have water hose-reels, which are fixed equipment and may be automatic or require manual operation.
