There's no need to put a room underwater when putting out a fire.The primary goal of fire prevention is to focus on life safety, property protection, and the protection of operations. The basic strategy of fire prevention is to control or isolate sources of fuel and heat to prevent combustion.Small actions can have huge results. This also applies to fire suppression technology. Our fittings, pressure regulators, and components allow for forward-looking solutions for automatic fire suppression systems. And we are by no means promising too much. After all, we have developed each of our components ourselves, i.e., they are application-oriented and customized.
Electrical fires account for a high percentage of fire insurance losses and are often the result of large-scale incidents. Loose electrical connections, weakening insulation, and poor equipment maintenance are common causes of electrical fires. Legislation requires specific preventative actions, such as disconnecting, isolating, and making safe any defects that pose an electrical hazard to people, livestock, or property.
An Electrical Safety Audit is a systematic approach to evaluate potential hazards and recommend suggestions for improvement. It is an essential tool for identifying deteriorating standards, areas of risk or vulnerability, hazards, and potential accidents in plants, determining necessary actions to minimize hazards, and ensuring that the entire safety effort is effective and meaningful.
The motive behind conducting an electrical safety audit is to compare the standard maintenance practices against the existing procedures by interviewing operating personnel and staff.
Many business owners are unaware of the various risks that exist within their business and the potential impact they could have on their ability to trade. The true cost of a major loss incident is not only the direct loss or damage but also the time and effort spent dealing with the aftermath, including disruptions to work and production schedules. Additionally, customer loyalty and the business's reputation can be adversely affected.
