Fire Extinguishers and Fire Blankets
Fire Extinguishers are your first aid kit for the early discovery of a fire.
Having a Fire Extinguisher on your site, and having them correctly installed and maintained, will mean that you may be able to safely extinguish a small fire before it gets too big and causes damage, downtime and loss of stock.
Just buying a Fire Extinguisher off the internet or from a retailer is NOT enough. These Extinguishers come fitted with transport tags that retain the safety pins during transport, they are not designed to be easily pulled should you need to use the Extinguisher. A proper tamper tag should be installed as well as the guage checked and the Extinguisher undergoing many other checks to ensure it is the correct type, size and media for the required risks on site.
Over the years we have seen many things that would cause major issues on sites should a fire break out, including fake Fire Extinguishers, un-commissioned Extinguishers, Extinguishers with the instructions not in plain English and even Extinguishers that have been damaged and are rusty, meaning they could cause serious harm if they were used to the operator.
Ensure your site has the basics covered, install the corect extinguishers, have them commissioned by a competent and qualified technician and ensure they are serviced yearly.
