A fire extinguisher is useless if the person facing the fire does not know how to use it, or uses the wrong type on the wrong class of fire. Every year in India, workers attempt to fight fires without this basic knowledge — sometimes making the situation worse by using water on an electrical fire, or foam on a metal fire.
Printed fire extinguisher usage posters in Hindi, placed directly at or near each extinguisher, solve this problem. The information is there at the exact moment it is needed.
The PASS Technique — In Hindi
The PASS technique is the universal fire extinguisher usage sequence: Pull the pin, Aim at the base of the fire, Squeeze the handle, Sweep side to side. This four-step sequence needs to be visible, clear, and in the language the worker reads. A Hindi PASS poster next to every fire extinguisher is the single most actionable fire safety poster a facility can display.
Types of Fire Extinguisher and When to Use Each
One of the most important and most misunderstood aspects of fire extinguisher use in India is selecting the correct type for the fire class. Water extinguishers — for Class A fires involving ordinary combustibles like wood, paper, and cloth. CO2 extinguishers — for Class B fires involving flammable liquids and Class C fires involving electrical equipment. Dry powder extinguishers — for Class A, B, and C fires, and for Class D metal fires in specialised forms. Foam extinguishers — for Class A and B fires. A clear poster showing fire classes and matching extinguisher types, in Hindi, at each extinguisher station prevents misuse.
What Fire Extinguisher Posters Should Also Cover
Beyond the usage procedure and type selection, fire extinguisher posters should communicate the inspection requirements — a visual check before each shift, an annual professional service — as well as the fact that extinguishers are for small, contained fires only. Any fire that cannot be quickly controlled with a single extinguisher requires immediate evacuation and emergency services contact.
Placement Rules
Each fire extinguisher should have a usage poster mounted directly beside or above it. At extinguisher stations where multiple types are grouped, a combined type-selection and usage poster is more useful than individual posters for each unit.
