In every home or workplace, fire blankets are a must-have, and these objects should not be taken for granted. Even though fire extinguishers are the stars amongst fire suppressants, these specialized mantles are just as effective in fighting fire as that gigantic, oxygen tank-looking red thing. As a matter of fact, these handy little blankets are capable of dealing with a special kind of fire that fire extinguishers normally wouldnt be able to...more
The Fire Safety Order of 2005 in summary states that every business, charity or voluntary organization, contractor, and pretty much any place that welcomes a flow of guests are now required to equip themselves with fire safety measures. This means fire extinguishers, fire blankets, first aid kits and the like. But there is more to just having the equipment themselves - a good business owner must make sure that access to and usage of such...more
Fire safety equipment involves a different set of tools for different situations. For instance, we all know that fire extinguishers are meant to be used immediately when a small fire starts. In more extreme conditions such as when people are trapped in a burning building (knock on wood!) firefighters are trained to use a variety of tools and techniques to safely and systematically break into a house or building, rescue the people inside and put out the fire. But before the firefighters get to our prized establishments, we of course need to have mobility in putting out fires. This is where the ever helpful fire hose reel comes into play. First and foremost, this device is an essential building and/or business appliance in compliance to the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 (FSO) ratified in 2006 in the United Kingdom. What it does basically, is provide a readily accesible and powerful flow of water - controllable up to a third of a liter per second for fire hoses. A control nozzle is located at the end of the hose to allow a firefighter to control the direction of the water and to regulate its flow. It also comes with a shut off device, using a built in ball valve. A good...more

The title needs very little explanation, come to think about it. And yet, the need for a fire alarm system in commercial districts cannot be overemphasized - and there are several reasons for this. First of all, the safety of the residents within a commercial setting depends largely on how fast people can respond to an emergency. Secondly, the local fire station definitely needs to be informed as soon as possible in case professional help is needed for break-in and rescue operations. Third, the establishments' promptness in responding to fire, among other disasters can help safeguard their commercial assets. Fourth and lastly, because it adheres to the The Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 (FSO) that came into ratification in 2006 of United Kingdom law.In a sense then, the installation of an efficient and effective fire alarm system is a key priority to the safety measures of any establishment. We are all familiar with how it works of course - a network of sensitive detectors in the vicinity alerts for the presence of fire via a heat detector or a smoke detector. (Which makes sense to ban all cigarette smoking indoors, as it may activate the alarm!) The detectors then,...more
