First Aid Kits

Eyewash Stations and Products

An essential first aid item in any environment where there is a potential risk of injury to the eye whether it be from dust particles, chemical splashes or debris.

Fire Extinguishers and Equipment

What are they

These signs are used to provide vital information about the location and identification of fire fighting equipment. This equipment would include fire alarms, dry risers and the location and type of fire extinguishers.

Defining characteristics

A red rectangle or square with a white border. A suitable symbol in white is placed centrally on the sign. Both the symbol and any supplementary text should be in white.

Common Fire Extinguishers

Powder Extinguishers

Ideal for use in mixed risk environments and offer excellent all round fire protection. With a unique class C rating, powder fire extinguishers are the only effective solution for fires involving flammable gases.

Foam Extinguishers

Ideal for use on fires involving solid combustible materials and are highly effective on flammable liquid fires. The layer of foam applied by these extinguishers helps to prevent re-ignition after the fire has been extinguished.

CO2 Extinguishers

Are suitable for use on flammable liquid fires and are extremely effective at extinguishing fires involving electrical equipment. CO2 is also one of the cleanest extinguisher agents and leaves no residue behind.

Water Extinguishers

Suitable for use in environments containing solid combustible materials such as wood, paper and textiles. It is important to remember that water conducts electricity and should not be used around electrical equipment.

When to use them

Signs for fire fighting equipment should be placed in a visible area to enable someone in need to locate and identify the equipment quickly and correctly. In buildings where the equipment is not clearly visible, it may be pertinent to indicate the location of this equipment with further signage.
