Fire Protection

Understanding the nuances of fire protection is paramount to safety and emergency preparedness. Signet offers an extensive range of fire protection equipment, including fire extinguishers and fire blankets, to ensure your business is prepared for any fire emergency.

Fire Extinguishers

Fire extinguishers are the first line of defense in the event of a fire, providing a crucial means to control or extinguish small fires before they escalate. Selecting the right type of fire extinguisher for your premises is essential, as the effectiveness of a fire extinguisher depends on its suitability for the fire class you're dealing with.

How often should fire extinguishers be inspected?

Fire extinguishers should be inspected monthly for signs of damage or tampering and undergo a more thorough annual maintenance check by a professional. This ensures they are in working order when you need them most.

Where should fire extinguishers be located?

Fire extinguishers should be strategically placed in locations where fires are more likely to occur, such as kitchens, heating units, and areas with electrical equipment. They should be easily accessible, mounted on walls at an appropriate height, and clearly signposted.

Fire Blankets

A fire blanket is a safety device designed to extinguish small fires at their initial stage. It works by depriving the fire of oxygen, effectively smothering the flames. Fire blankets are made from materials that can withstand high temperatures and are an indispensable tool in any fire emergency kit.

Applications of Fire Blankets

Kitchen Fires: Ideal for smothering fires caused by cooking oils or fats.
Electrical Fires: Can be used to cover electrical appliances or outlets to cut off the fire's oxygen supply.
Personal Protection: In emergencies, a fire blanket can wrap around a person to extinguish clothing fires.
