Your building is unique just like your business and it requires its own fire safety layout. Feel free to contact us to know what would be the most efficient and effective layout for your premises.

Fire Extinguishers

All facilities are required to have fire extinguishers on site. These extinguishers should be easy to access, highly visible, properly charged, and inspected regularly. They’re often the first line of defense and commonly used to extinguish or contain fires, which prevents costly damage and saves lives. They should be installed high on the wall and located near an exit. When using a fire extinguisher, remember the PASS method: Pull the pin, aim low, squeeze the lever slowly, and sweep from side to side.

Fire Suppression Systems

Commercial fire sprinkler systems are an essential aspect to preventing death and property loss in the workplace. While extinguishers can contain small fires, sprinklers are the only means to dramatically reduce smoke, flames, and heat. They prevent a fire from spreading and may even put it completely out.

Smoke Alarms

Alarms cut the risk of dying in a fire by half. They detect both flaming and smoldering fires and should be wired together so if one goes off in your workplace, they all go off. Test your smoke alarms at least once each month, and replace the batteries at least once a year. It’s recommended to replace the alarm itself after 10 years. 

Carbon Monoxide Alarms

These alarms are a necessary yet often forgotten aspect in many workplaces. They alert people that there is carbon monoxide in the air, which is an odorless, invisible gas that’s created when fuels such as methane, oil, propane, gasoline, and natural gas don’t burn completely. A small amount of this gas can poison workers or become fatal if it’s breathed for a long period of time.

According to the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA), buildings with a working fire sprinkler system see an average property loss and risk of death per fire that is 50 to 66 percent lower than buildings without sprinkler systems.

Average property damage per building/premise was 56% less in structures with Sprinkler system then without. Fire sprinkler system saves money and more importantly saves lives.

While the exact number of fire extinguishers required for each building varies based on the unique layout and hazard level, our professional consultants will be able to give you the best suggestion so please feel to contact us
