Sound an alarm if a fire occurs. Alert all workers on the job and then call the fire department. After calling the fire department, make a reasonable effort to contain the fire. Always use the correct fire extinguisher for the class of fire. See Figure 1-27.
Fire extinguishers are normally red.
Fire extinguishers may be located on a red background so they can be easily located. Always use the correct fire extinguisher for the class of fire. Be ready to direct firefighters to the fire. Inform them of any special problems or conditions that exist, such as downed electrical wires or leaks in gas lines. Report any accumulations of rubbish or unsafe conditions that could be fire hazards.
