Fire Safety Equipment
Whether you’re working in a warehouse, a factory, or a construction site, it’s vital to make sure you’re prepared for a fire. Install a fire alarm (and test it regularly), and use signage to point out exits, equipment locations, and instructions for use.
Depending on the materials you’re working with, you can choose from various types of fire extinguisher such as water, foam, CO2, lithium, and dry powder. Stands and cabinets help you to store them securely, so that everybody knows where they are - and there’s less risk of accidental damage, vandalism, or theft.
While extinguishers can tackle larger or spreading fires, fire blankets are useful for putting out smaller, contained fires. Remember that fire safety equipment should only be used by those with training. If in doubt, just get out.
