Hazards Associated with Fires

Fire can cause several serious health hazards to personnel onboard a ship. The main dangers resulting from fire include:

  • Poisoning due to toxic gases.
  • Burns affecting the skin and underlying tissues.
  • Severe pain caused by burn injuries.
  • Shock resulting from burns, injuries, or blood loss.
  • Asphyxiation caused by lack of oxygen or inhalation of harmful gases.
