[EMERGENCY RESPONSE
PREPAREDNESS PROCEDURE]
This procedure is to identify the activities and responsibilities that would be needed
to cope with unusual conditions of emergencies and disasters, if and when they
occur. The aim is to minimize panic and act methodologically in a way to prevent
accidents in future.

2. FIRE INCIDENT BY ELECTRIC SHORT CIRCUIT, GASES, CHEMICALS, PEOPLE
NEGLIGENCE ETC.
DEFINITIONS
 Fire: The term “fire” has its origin in the ancient English word “fire”
which is usually taken to mean “to purify”. Indeed fire is a great
purifier because after a conflagration all that is left of visible
residues of a burnt object is “ashes” only.
 THEORY OF FIRE: Knowing the theory of fire is extremely
important for all concerned. Burning of fire, or combustion is
actually the oxidization of a substance with the production of flame
‘and evolution of heat. It occurs above its flash point (the point of
spontaneous combustion). There are three factors, which compose
the fire triangle. If any of these is removed, the fire will be
extinguished.
a. Fuel Presence of combustible material in any form (solid, liquid or
gas)
b. Oxygen to support the combustion.
c. Heat or temperature or spark sufficient to maintain combustion.
CLASSIFICATION OF FIRES
 BY TYPES OF MATERIAL INVOLVED
a. Paper/ Fabric fires – Fabric Wise
b. Chemical Fires – Chemical wise
c. Fuel Fires (wood, coal etc.)
d. Waste Fire – Type of Waste
e. POL Fire ( petrol, oil and lubricants)
f. Electrical Fire (Here electric shock is hazard)
g. Building Fire (Combined)
 BY WAY OF EXTINGUISHING
a. Class A On which cooling effect of water is of first importance e.g.
wool, textile, rubbish, waste etc.
b. Class B Those on which blanketing or smothering effect of the
extinguishing agents is of first importance e.g. flammable liquids like
oils, gasoline, paints etc.
c. Class C The electrical fire where use of no conducting extinguishing
agent is of foremost importance.
d. Class D The fire that combines the characteristics of the two of the
above three.

3. CAUSES OF FIRE
 DIRECT CAUSES
a. Hostile action or sabotage
b. Smoking or naked light in unauthorized places.
c. Careless throwing away of burning matchsticks, cigarette ends. Etc.
d. Electrical reasons like loose connections, defective electrical apparatus,
static electricity, electrical storms, lightening etc.
e. Due to incorrect use of vehicles like vehicles left unattended or loose
named electrical connections in the engine.
f. Use or oils in unauthorized places, bursting of oil stoves, leaving naked
fires unattended.
Other miscellaneous reasons, like spontaneous combustion, direct
sunrays, hot ashes. Etc.
 INDIRECT CAUSES
a. Dry rubbish grass, oilpapers and material, paint tins accumulated over
a long period.
b. Unsatisfactory storage of inflammable stores like POL, paints etc.
c. Ignorance of Fire preventive instructions and negligence to comply
with them.
d. Poorhouse keeping.
PREVENTIVE MEASURES
a. Availability of keys of buildings and stores all the time.
b. Adequate water supply arrangements.
c. Adequate liaison with nearby fire brigade and organizations.
d. Putting off heaters and damping of fires before leaving place.
e. Parking of vehicles in neutral gear and in case of overnight parking keys
available at the main gate.
f. Availability of all keys of stores, offices and other buildings, after the
general shift timings, at the main gate.
g. Switching off all Air Conditions and other unnecessary lights before
locking the building locations
h. All electrical connections to be done only by electrical personnel.
i. Cleaning of unnecessary dry grass, rubbish etc.
j. Places having fire risk to be suitably marked.
FIRE FIGHTING EQUIPMENT
Adequate firefighting equipment must be available.
 FIRE EXTINGUISHERS
Fire Extinguishers are divided into four (4) Classes:

4. a. Class A- used for fires in ordinary combustible materials, such as
wood, cloth, paper, rubber and plastic.
b. Class B- used for fires in flammable and combustible liquids and
flammable gasses.
c. Class C- used for fires that involves energized electrical equipment.
d. Class D-used for fire in combustible metals.
.
FIRE SAFETY POSTERS/AWARENESS MATERIAL
Shall be provided in each location in building.
a. Types of Fire Hazards.
b. Precautions
 FIRE CONTROL
Steps Actions to Be Taken
1.
The person who sees the fire first is required to shout loudly fire, fire, and
fire.
2.
Switch-off the Electricity of concerned area.
3. Attempts to put off the fire using fire extinguishers if trained to do so.

make it difficult. If you cannot succeed in extinguishing the fire, do not let it
spread further. Remember the triangle of fire, remove one of these factors, you
may succeed.
EARTH QUAKES
 EARTHQUAKE RESPONSE PROCEDURES
School Premises should be reviewed to identify whether earthquakes are a potential
hazard. If so, site inspections must be conducted and an earthquake response plan
prepared and communicated to all teachers/students.
 HAZARD INSPECTIONS
If the any one has identified earthquakes as a potential hazard, site inspections must
consider hazards created by falling objects during an earthquake.
 STANDARD HAZARDS

6. a. Heavy loose objects (e.g. clocks, projection screens, books, flower pots,
pictures, boxes, tools ) should be secured or stored on shelves or hanging
above the floor where they cannot fall more than one meter
b. Printers, fax machines, or other desktop equipment should have anti-skid
pads placed underneath to prevent them from falling off desks
All non-tempered glass, especially at or near exit routes or major paths from one
area of the building to another should have plastic film applied and evacuation
routes should avoid glassed areas.
 EARTHQUAKE PLAN CHECKLIST
School Premises earthquake response plan include:
a. Information regarding the signs of an earthquake.
b. Directions to take immediate cover, and appropriate covering locations in the
school
c. Details on how an all-clear will be decided and communicated, and appropriate
evacuation routes
d. Procedures for earthquake drills at an appropriate frequency determined by the
Joint Health and Safety Committee/School Committee or equivalent
representative.
 EARTHQUAKE RESPONSE GUIDELINES
a. Take cover under the nearest piece of furniture such as a desk or table, or
against an inside wall.
b. Hold your arms over your head and roll your body into a ball as much as
possible.
c. When the shaking has stopped, remain covered and holding for 60 seconds.
d. When aftershocks occur, stop all activities, and return to your safe holding
location and repeat above procedures.

Count aloud to 60; earthquakes rarely last longer than 60 seconds and counting
may be calming.

7.  IF OUTDOORS
a. Move to an open space, away from buildings, trees and overhead power lines.
b. Lie down or crouch to the ground (legs will not be steady)
