of personal protective equipment (PPE) at work.

PPE is equipment that will protect the user against health

or safety risks at work. It can include items such as safety

helmets, gloves, eye protection, high-visibility clothing,

safety footwear and safety harnesses. It also includes

respiratory protective equipment (RPE).

Why is PPE important?

Making the workplace safe includes providing instructions,

procedures, training and supervision to encourage people to

work safely and responsibly.

LISTENING “Portable Fire Extinguishers”

A fire extinguisher, or extinguisher, is an active fire protection device used to extinguish or control small fires, often in emergency situations. It is not intended for use on an out-of-control fire, such as one which has reached the ceiling, endangers the user (ie, no escape route, smoke, explosion hazard, etc.), or otherwise requires the expertise of a fire department. Typically, a fire extinguisher consists of a hand-held cylindrical pressure vessel containing an agent which can be discharged to extinguish a fire .

In the United States, fire extinguishers in all buildings other than houses are generally required to be serviced and inspected by a Fire Protection service company at least annually. Some jurisdictions require more frequent service for fire extinguishers. The servicer places a tag on the extinguisher to indicate the type of service performed (annual inspection, recharge, and new fire extinguisher).

Water-Type portable fire extinguishers contain water-based agents, such

as Water, Aqueous Film-Forming Foam (AFFF), Film-Forming Fluor protein

Foam (FFFP), Antifreeze, and Loaded Stream. These portable fire

extinguishers leave no powder residue and are effective on Class A fires

and some Class B fires. There are two basic types of water-type portable

fire extinguishers, Loaded Stream and Foam.

.What do you think you will read about in the text?

Before using your fire extinguisher, be sure to read the instructions before it's too late. Although there are many different types of fire extinguishers, all of them operate in a similar manner.

A typical fire extinguisher contains 10 seconds of extinguishing power. This could be less if it has already been partially discharged. Always read the instructions that come with the fire extinguisher beforehand and become familiarized with its parts. It is highly recommended by fire prevention experts that you get hands-on training before operating a fire extinguisher. Most local fire departments offer this service.

Once the fire is out, don't walk away! Watch the area for a few minutes in case it re-ignites. Recharge the extinguisher immediately after use.

Woman Rescued from Chimney

THOUSAND OAKS, Calif. – A woman stuck in the chimney of a home in

Thousand Oaks was rescued and arrested.

Ventura County fire Capt. Ron Oatman said firefighters

responding to neighbors’

reports of a woman crying had to chisel away much

of the chimney and lubricate it with dish soap

Sunday to free 30-year-old Genoveva Nunez-

Figueroa.

The Ventura County Star reports she was arrested on

suspicion of illegal entry and giving false information

to police. The homeowner told KABC in Los Angeles

that he met Nunez-Figueroa online and dated her

briefly, but he recently ended the relationship. The

unidentified man was not home at the time of the

incident.

Nunoz-Figueroa had no clear injuries but was taken to a

hospital for evaluation. Police didn’t know if she’d hired

an attorney, and no phone listing for her could be found.

Oatman said firefighters destroyed the chimney and damaged the roof.
