c. Review Mishap Plan/SOP's
(1) Mishap
(a) Any unplanned or unexpected event causing
Personnel injury, occupational illness, death, material loss, damage or explosion of any kind whether damage occurs or not.
(2) Near mishap
(a) A condition that might exist which, if allowed to go unchecked or uncorrected, has the potential to cause a mishap or an act or event which might result in a mishap in which injury or damage was avoided merely by chance.
(3) Unsafe Condition
(a) A hazardous condition; Hazard; a work place condition that might result in injury, health/impairment, illness, disease or death to any worker who is exposed to the condition; or damage or loss to property or equipment.
RELATED INSTRUCTOR ACTIVITY
1. Establish Contact Show Slide 1-1-1, Chemistry and
Classification of Fire 1-1-1.
2. Show Slide 1-1-2, Purpose.
3. Reference NATOPS U. S. NAVY AIRCRAFT FIRE
FIGHTING AND RESCUE MANUAL, NAVAIR 00-
80R-14.
Show Slide 1-1-3, Elements of Fire.
a. 4 Elements of Fire
(1) Fuel
(a) Solid
(b) Liquid
(c) Gas (2) Oxygen
(a) Air normally contains 21 percent oxygen
(b) Ordinarily, a minimum of 15 percent
oxygen is needed to support flaming
combustion
(c) Smoldering combustion can take place in an
atmosphere with as little as 3 percent oxygen
RELATED INSTRUCTOR ACTIVITY
(3) Heat
(a) Transfers in three ways
1) Radiation
2) Conduction
3) Convection-
(4) Chemical chain reaction (fire tetrahedren)
(a) Takes place during fire and allows fire to
sustain itself and grow
1) Give example.
2) Give example.
3) Give example.
(a) Stress that removing any part of the
Fire riangle extinguishes the fire.
