HOW TO SELECT PROPER FIRE SAFETY EQUIPMENT?

While constructing your office or home, fire safety should be a top-notch priority. May it not be so, but if a fire does start, it is extremely crucial to have appropriate fire safety equipment ready. Fire safety equipment not only aids in a post-fire situation but can also help in the pre-pre-fire situations by providing an early warning alarm so that the spread of fire is exponentially prevented. Not having reliable fire safety equipment can charge you and your company a lot more than you would realize. It can have devastating consequences for your business. These appurtenances prevent harm from being caused to anyone and minimize property damage to a great extent.

It is no easy task to select the appropriate fire safety equipment, it can be quite a challenging task. Since there is no one-size-fits-all solution, there are no specifications for different premises, which makes the business or homeowners can be completely in the dark when it comes to picking your fire safety equipment.

There are several fire safety equipment that are often recommended to be installed to provide utmost protection and safety which includes:

  • Smoke and fire safety alarms:- smoke alarms and security alarms may not help you control the hazard but they are the most reliable ways to detect the fire and take potential actions by evacuating the space readily. In several places, it has become obligatory to install smoke and safety alarms.
  • Signs and lighting:- emergency signboards and efficient lighting hold bottom-line importance when it comes to preparing your workplace to be able to deal with fire, highlighting safety procedures, equipment locations, and emergency exits. These are various elements that are must-haves in any place operating. Emergency exits need to have proper maintenance and adequate lighting so that evacuation is successfully placed without any serious casualties.
  • Active fire prevention systems:- these kinds of systems include the use of water sprinklers, sprays, and specially designed fire safety equipment that combats the hazard sufficiently. Typically, active fire prevention systems are installed in industries that have highly flammable objects. But sprinklers and sprays are mostly used generally to prevent fire in large or open spaces.
  • Passive fire prevention systems:- unlike the active fire prevention systems, passive fire prevention systems include insulation, specially designed fire doors, and other structural elements which are used to prevent the spread of fire.
  • Extinguishers and hoses:- extinguishers, hoses, and several other manual elements greatly aid in preventing the spread of fire and provide some measure of control. It is factually recommended that extinguishers and hoses should always be on-hand so that a great level of fire is controlled manually rather than waiting for the fire brigade to come to the rescue.
  • Fire escape ladders:- these special ladders provide an additional point of departure, which may help you in forming an effective evacuation plan. Installing fire escape ladders requires professional consultation to check if they’re legally installed or not.
