GENERAL
Injuries	All injuries must be reported immediately.
	You must be able to correct, identify, and report any unsafe conditions. Always follow all safety rules and know where eye washes and safety showers are in your area. Along with (know the location of) the designated assembly area in the event of an emergency alarm or evacuation.

Fire Extinguishers	All fire extinguishers do not work in the same way. It takes less than one minute for most extinguishers to discharge. When using a fire extinguisher you should aim the extinguisher at the base of the fire.
Class of Fires	There are four classes of fires:
		Class A - wood, paper, cloth
		Class B - flammable liquids
		Class C - energized electrical equipment
		Class D - combustible metals
The Fire Triangle		Fuel
		Oxygen
		Heat
Watch / Attendant Duties	In all cases, the
		Fire Watch
		Hole Watch
		Confined Space Attendant
	must have constant communications with worker in the area.
	If someone collapses in a confined space, do not enter the space. Call for help and notify rescue personnel.

PERMITS
General	You must follow all instructions on permits.
Types of Permits	Some types of permits are as follows::
		Safe Work Permits - issued by owner of process piece of equipment that verifies safe condition of equipment or process.
		Hot Work Permits - must be issued if job can create enough heat to ignite a flammable liquid such as gas, combustible liquid or flammable material. This permit protects worker from fire and explosion. Examples of equipment requiring Hot Work Permits are:
			Welding
			Grinders, and
			Electric drills
		Confined Space Permits - required if the area is difficult to enter or leave, or if the area is difficult to ventilate and may have contained toxic, flammable, or oxygen deficient atmosphere. Example: Combustible Vapors, Lack of Oxygen or Toxic Vapors is possible hazards when working in a manhole, boiler, or tank.

		Blue - Health Hazards
		Red - Flammability
		Yellow - Reactivity
		White - Personal Protection
Chemical Entry Into the Body	Chemicals can enter the body by swallowing, skin contact, eye contact, or inhalation.
