6.7 Fire extinguisher:

There are three type of fire extinguishers normally found at the construction site:
Water type, Carbon dioxide and dry chemical powder (DCP) types. All employees
should be aware of the firefighting equipment available on site and be familiar on how
to use it.
Water type Fire Extinguisher:

Class A fire: Pressurized water system to be used only on a fire involving ordinary
combustible materials such as wood, paper, clothing, and some rubber and plastic
materials.
Carbon Dioxide Type Extinguisher:

Class C fire: The Carbon Dioxide (CO2) type extinguisher is normally used for
controlling electrical fires. Fire involving energized electrical equipment, such as
motors, switch gears, circuits and control panels are to be extinguished using carbon
dioxide or DCP fire extinguisher.
CAUTION: A carbon dioxide Extinguisher should never use in closed area where people
are present, because the gas displaces oxygen from the immediate environment. When
oxygen level in the environment is reduced sufficiently to put out a fire, the oxygen level
is also incapable of supporting human life.

6.8 Electrical Installation & Equipment:

All material and equipment used in temporary electrical installations shall meet (SEC)
standards, including (NARAFIQ) Construction Safety Manual. KAFOU shall ensure that
Every piece of electrical equipment is a potential source of electric shock Even through an
electric shock is too small to cause injury it may trigger an involuntary reaction that results
in physical injury for example after touching a live wire, a person may lose his balance
and fall off a ladder or scaffolding.
Obviously, design, layout, installation, and preventive maintenance programs can
minimize such incidents on live or hot electrical equipment.
An effective electrical safety policy coupled with an employee training and hazard
awareness program can further prevent electrical shocks.
To minimize electrical related injuries, it is important to follow basic safety
precautions to avoid such an accident.
All temporary electrical installations and equipment on the project will conform to
(MARAFIQ) Std. and National Electrical Code (NEC).
Extension cords will be kept clear of walkways, water pools, and other locations
where they may be exposed to damage, create trip hazards, or set up other hazardous
conditions.
Color tagging, following inspection by a qualified electrician, of hand held power
tools, GFCI units, all electrical equipment/boards, outlets, extension cords, table
saws, appliances, and etc. is required monthly. It is understood a color scheme has
been provided and this requirement is subject to change.
Minimum safety measures that KAFOU will ensure on the project include but not limited
to the following;
Distribution of electrical power on construction site is different from permanent
installation. Distribution boards and supply cable must be properly installed and
protected from accidental damage.
All materials used shall be of an approved type and in good condition.
All portable electric tools must be well maintained and provided 3 core grounded
cable and proper plugs. Approved double insulated or all insulated tools may be used
without a ground wire. Double insulation does not protect against defects in the
