Fire safety involves understanding fire types classified by their fuel source, from Class A ordinary combustibles to Class K cooking oils. Proper storage, handling, spill cleanup and labeling of hazardous materials is critical to prevent fires. Fire protection equipment includes fire extinguishers for different classes of fire, as well as sprinkler systems. National organizations establish codes and best practices for fire prevention, protection, and response. Electrical safety risks include shock, explosion and burns. Proper lockout/tagout of energy sources and use of testing/protective equipment are required before working on electrical systems or tools.
