Businesses often dont think that their establishments will ever catch fire, and so they dont take the necessary precautions and are forced to live with the regretful consequences in the end. Conducting a fire risk assessment is a very vital factor in ensuring the safety of your business and that it is protected from the risks of fire hazards. This procedure had been made required in the year 2006 by the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005...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

In any establishment, fire exits that are safely locked on normal days, yet easy to open in the case of emergencies is vastly essential. Thankfully, gone are the days of using a "glass breakable" tool which is at often times unsafe especially when accidentally opened by children. Nowadays, the use of ceramic panic bolts is becoming more and more widespread. The panic bolt also called the panic bar is a tube that covers an emergency exit door from the interior. The two main functions of a panic bolt are first, to make sure that an exit in an emergency situation, in particular fires and earthquakes are easy - usually with a built in mechanism of "break in case of emergency" to open the door to a safe exit. Second, to make sure that while breaking out is easy, breaking in through the door would be pretty much impossible since the breaking mechanism comes from the interior. Panic bolts are then particularly helpful in power outages in which residents of an establishment will need to use the stairways to safely vacate the premises. There are several factors that make a panic bolt more applicable and convenient for use in establishment's emergency exits. First of all, it is quite easy to...more
