A mobile equipment fire caused by external fire or other high energy contact introduced cannot be extinguished using fire suppression system, related to:
- Poor use of fire extinguisher escalates the fire
- Lack of access of FSS medium to the seat/source of the fire
- Wrong extinguisher type or FSS medium on the item of mobile plant escalates the outcomes from the fire (e.g. electrocution of responding workers)
Credible Failure mode is addressed by:
- BI-01.04 Trained, Competent and Authorised Mobile Equipment Operators
- BI-02.12 Serviced and checked fire extinguishers on mobile equipment
- BI-02A.30 OEM Designs provide for installation of fire detection and suppression systems
