SIA Door Fire Safety & First Aid Basics 2

Question 1

Which colour coded fire extinguisher is filled with water?

Accepted Answer

Red (all-red label)

Answer

Water extinguishers have an all-red label; they are suitable for Class A fires (wood, paper, textiles) but must never be used on electrical fires, oils or flammable liquids.

Question 2

What is a 'dry powder' extinguisher suitable for?

Accepted Answer

Class A, B and C fires and electrical fires (multi-purpose)

Answer

Dry powder extinguishers are multi-purpose and can tackle Class A (solids), Class B (liquids), Class C (gases) and electrical fires, though they create mess and impair visibility.

Question 3

What should door supervisors do when evacuating mobility-impaired customers during a fire?

Accepted Answer

Direct them to a refuge point and ensure emergency services are informed of their location

Answer

Carrying mobility-impaired people down stairs risks injury; refuge points are designated safe waiting areas where people can shelter until the fire brigade can assist with evacuation.

Question 4

What is a 'Personal Emergency Evacuation Plan' (PEEP)?

Accepted Answer

An individual plan for evacuating a person with a disability or special need from the premises

Answer

A PEEP is a tailored evacuation plan created for individuals who may not be able to use standard emergency exits, such as wheelchair users or those with hearing impairments.

Question 5

What is the correct sequence for dealing with a fire if you are trained to use a fire extinguisher?

Accepted Answer

Raise alarm, check exit is clear behind you, tackle the fire from a safe distance

Answer

The alarm must be raised first to alert others; the exit must remain clear as an escape route; only then should a trained person attempt to tackle the fire if it is small and manageable.
