Every facility in our
industry has numerous fire extinguishers. The Aluminium Plant Safety Blog has
posted incidents where workers made a bad situation worse when using fire
extinguishers. Why? Well, possibly the workers were either not trained, or did
not follow their training. We recommend that aluminium companies first make the
decision on whether their workers should fight or flee when a fire occurs. We
acknowledge that question is further complicated by the size and severity of
each fire. Regardless, if a company decides that there are instances where
employees are instructed to fight a fire proper training is required. In
addition the training should be done on a regular basis.
Here is a great story
that was sent to us via a social media platform of an aluminium company in the
Philippines that had fire extinguisher training for their workers:

The Aluminium Plant
Safety Blog congratulates Arlo Aluminium company of undertaking a fire
extinguisher training for their employees. When was the last time that your
plant had fire extinguisher training? If you cannot remember by a count of 3,
then it has been too long.
