1. SAFETY GUARDS
Safety guards are essential yet often overlooked items in fire safety. They come in various forms and serve multiple purposes, including:
Restricted Access Areas: Safety guards create a visible barrier to indicate areas that are off-limits to most people, such as customers. They help keep employees aware of restricted areas and prevent unauthorised access.
Danger Area Marking: During a fire, safety guards can mark off hazardous areas of the building, such as where the fire is active or near flammable materials, to prevent individuals from entering unsafe zones.
Safety Area Marking: Safety guards can also designate safe meeting or assembly areas for employees during emergencies.
2. FIRE EXTINGUISHERS
Fire extinguishers are a legal requirement in most businesses, and for good reason. They are vital for quickly tackling small fires before they escalate. Depending on your business’s size, activities, and hazards present, you may need a combination of extinguisher types, including dry chemical, wet chemical, and water extinguishers.
Firetech Global recommends consulting with a local fire safety professional to ensure you have the correct number, placement, and type of extinguishers to protect your employees and premises effectively.
3. SELF-ACTIVATING FIRE EXTINGUISHING DEVICES
Self-activating fire extinguishing devicecs provide an additional layer of protection against fires. Products like Aero-X, Sticker-X, and Sticker-Xv2 are designed to detect and extinguish fires automatically, without the need for human intervention.
These devices activate within seconds of detecting flames and can suppress fires quickly, preventing them from spreading and causing further damage. Ideal for placement above potential fire hazards, such as cooking areas, electrical panels, and chemical storage, they offer peace of mind knowing that fires can be addressed promptly, even when no one is present.
Additionally, the Aero-X and Sticker-X systems can prevent water damage by extinguishing fires before the activation of traditional sprinkler systems.
4. EMERGENCY EXIT SIGNS & LIGHTING
Proper emergency exit signage and lighting are crucial for guiding occupants to safety during a fire emergency. Clear and visible exit signs, along with emergency lighting, ensure that employees and customers can evacuate the premises quickly and safely.
Consulting with a fire safety expert can help you determine the most effective placement and additional signage needed to create a safe evacuation route for everyone in your building.
5. FIRE SPRINKLERS
Fire sprinkler systems are a highly effective form of fire suppression. They can help contain and extinguish fires, providing valuable time for evacuation and reducing property damage.
While there are various types of sprinkler systems available, they all offer reliable protection in the event of a fire. Installing a fire sprinkler system can significantly enhance your business’s fire safety measures.
