Control measure
Select appropriate firefighting media: Oxidising materials
Control measure knowledge
Where firefighting or cooling is necessary, water should be applied in a way that will maximise its cooling effect (i.e. fine spray). If firefighting operations are required within the hazard area, deployment of personnel and the time they are deployed within the hazard area should be kept to a minimum. Structural protection and ground monitors should be used to minimise the risk to personnel.
Strategic actions
Tactical actions
Consider using water to either extinguish a fire or cool the oxidising material
Ensure firefighting activities are carried out from a safe location using structural protection and/or ground monitors
