None of the above
Solution
The answer is the third one: The P.A.S.S. principle.
Explanation for each option:
The S.A.F.E. principal: This is not the correct acronym for using a fire extinguisher. S.A.F.E. is not commonly associated with fire extinguisher use.
HAZWOPER: This stands for Hazardous Waste Operations and Emergency Response, which is related to handling hazardous materials and not specifically about using a fire extinguisher.
The P.A.S.S. principle: This is the correct acronym for using a fire extinguisher. P.A.S.S. stands for Pull the pin, Aim at the base of the fire, Squeeze the handle, and Sweep from side to side.
None of the above: This is incorrect because the P.A.S.S. principle is indeed the correct acronym for using a fire extinguisher.
In summary, the correct answer is the P.A.S.S. principle, which provides the steps for effectively using a fire extinguisher.
