Shit happen's , sometimes it happen's to me sometimes to you .
I have a safe pass for working on building sites , this is a day course to educate construction worker's .
The truth of the matter is you are you'r own safety officer .
So let's talk about safety , all input welcome
Like rule # 1 in growing = don't tell any one and get caught
RULE # 1 Get a smoke alarm , and check it regulary , change the batteries if needed Quality brand batt's are best . Make sure it work's
Or use a 120V smoke detector on a light circuit if possible. This eliminates any batteries and also allows you to link all alarms in the house for quicker warnings
RULE # 2 get a powder fire extingisher , powder is safe to use on an electrical fire , they come in a range of sizes .
RULE # 3 have a plan as like i say shit happen's , how will you tackle a fire in this situation ?
The grow and all you'r euipment is irrelevent over your and others safety , fire's KILL where is your nearest safe exit ...
Class C is important to us unless you can kill the electrical supply , then you can use water . C02 work's also but can reignite .
Class A extinguishers are for ordinary combustible materials such as paper, wood, cardboard, and most plastics. The numerical rating on these types of extinguishers indicates the amount of water it holds and the amount of fire it can extinguish.
Class B fires involve flammable or combustible liquids such as gasoline, kerosene, grease and oil. The numerical rating for class B extinguishers indicates the approximate number of square feet of fire it can extinguish.
Class C fires involve electrical equipment, such as appliances, wiring, circuit breakers and outlets. Never use water to extinguish class C fires - the risk of electrical shock is far too great! Class C extinguishers do not have a numerical rating. The C classification means the extinguishing agent is non-conductive.
Class D fire extinguishers are commonly found in a chemical laboratory. They are for fires that involve combustible metals, such as magnesium, titanium, potassium and sodium. These types of extinguishers also have no numerical rating, nor are they given a multi-purpose rating - they are designed for class D fires only.
Dry chemical extinguishers come in a variety of types and are suitable for a combination of class A, B and C fires. These are filled with foam or powder and pressurized with nitrogen.
BC - This is the regular type of dry chemical extinguisher. It is filled with sodium bicarbonate or potassium bicarbonate. The BC variety leaves a mildly corrosive residue which must be cleaned immediately to prevent any damage to materials.
ABC - This is the multipurpose dry chemical extinguisher. The ABC type is filled with monoammonium phosphate, a yellow powder that leaves a sticky residue that may be damaging to electrical appliances such as a computer
Dry chemical extinguishers have an advantage over CO2 extinguishers since they leave a non-flammable substance on the extinguished material, reducing the likelihood of re-ignition.
Carbon Dioxide (CO2) extinguishers are used for class B and C fires. CO2 extinguishers contain carbon dioxide, a non-flammable gas, and are highly pressurized. The pressure is so great that it is not uncommon for bits of dry ice to shoot out the nozzle. They don't work very well on class A fires because they may not be able to displace enough oxygen to put the fire out, causing it to re-ignite.
CO2 extinguishers have an advantage over dry chemical extinguishers since they don't leave a harmful residue - a good choice for an electrical fire on a computer or other favorite electronic device such as a stereo or TV.
