Which situation is considered a fire hazard?

  1. Storing flammable liquids properly

  2. Keeping exits clear

  3. Allowing smoking in designated areas

  4. Leaving electrical equipment unattended while on

The correct answer is: Leaving electrical equipment unattended while on

Leaving electrical equipment unattended is considered a fire hazard because it can lead to overheating or electrical malfunction, which may ignite surrounding materials. When electrical equipment is left running without supervision, there's a risk that it could malfunction, overheat, or become a spark source, potentially causing a fire. This situation reflects a lack of safety awareness regarding the potential dangers associated with electrical devices and their operation. On the other hand, storing flammable liquids properly and keeping exits clear are practices designed to mitigate fire risks, and allowing smoking only in designated areas is typically controlled to reduce hazards associated with smoking in general.
