1 Fire Safety Technical Note UCL FIRE EXTINGUISHER SCALING & LOCATION POLICY Reference: BS : code of practice for fire extinguishing installations and equipment on premises. Selection and installation of portable fire extinguishers Introduction 1.1. Experience has shown that most fires that have been discovered in their early stages have been successfully tackled and extinguished by the use of portable fire appliances. Portable fire extinguishers are valuable in the early stages of fire when their portability and immediate availability for use by one person enables a prompt attack to be made. They cannot be expected to deal with a large fire since they are essentially a first aid fire-fighting measure with a limited capacity. Therefore, for effective fire safety management within the UCL Estate, the provision of effectual and sufficient portable fire extinguishers is essential Specific information on the Classification of Fires for Extinguishing Purposes (UCL Technical Guide: TN 024) and individual fire extinguisher type guides, providing practical information and safe handling are available from the UCL fire safety web site. The extinguisher data sheets and specifically classification of fires should be read, before handling or using fire extinguishers Provision & Location of Fire Extinguishers 2.1. UCL will provide and position fire extinguisher equipment based on the guidance at Reference A (with the exception of Para 6.4), and generally as follows: (a). Extinguishers will be provided to meet the provision of a 13A rating for every 200m 2 of Class A risk, they will generally be paired at designated Fire Points with suitable extinguishers to deal with Electrical fires. (b). Where there is flammable liquid or liquefiable solid risk, suitable extinguishers will be provided to deal with Class B risks, which may also be used in conjunction with a Fire Blanket. Alcohol resistant foams will also be supplied where required. (c). Where a wall mounted Fire Hose Reel is installed, generally no additional portable water extinguishers will be provided. Date Last Amended: Jan 17 1.
2 (d). (e). (f). (g). (h). Where departments require a specialist fire extinguishers to deal with specific materials or risks; a copy of the product safety data sheet for those substances will be required by the UCL Fire Safety Manager to confirm the correct fire extinguishing agent to be provided. Extinguishers will not be placed inside rooms (including Laboratories), unless there is a very specific risk identified or the size of the room dictates. Extinguishers will be sited in such a way that it is not necessary to travel more than 30m from the site of the fire to reach an extinguisher. Fire extinguishers will generally be provided at a Fire Points which will be located in corridors, on landings or in stair enclosures - safe areas on the escape route out of the building. Fire points will be located as close as reasonably practicable to fire alarm break glass manual call points (MCPs). MCPs are generally sited so that they are no more than 30m in travel distance to raise the alarm. Fire Action Notices will be provided at fire points, so that those persons raising the alarm can follow the correct action necessary General Principals in Positioning Extinguishers 3.1. The general principal (See Reference A) governing the positioning of fire extinguishers: (a). In the event of a fire, occupants should move away from the immediate location of the fire to a place of relative safety (i.e. corridor, landing or stair enclosure). (b). Occupants will generally find a 'fire point' containing fire-fighting equipment and a Manual Call Point for raising alarm to warn other occupants. (c). Occupants should operating the nearest break glass fire alarm call point (MCP) and raise the alarm - then make a judgement on whether or not it is safe and practicable to return to tackle the fire with a suitable extinguisher. If in doubt, leave by the nearest fire exit, ensuring that the alarm is raised. Only go back and attack the fire with an appropriate fire extinguisher if it safe and you are confident to do so - do not place yourself or others at risk - if in doubt get out Student Halls of Residences - Extinguisher Policy In student hall of residences, the policy will be to provide the minimum amount of fire equipment due to in appropriate and malicious use. Date Last Amended: Jan 17 2.
