24.01.2022 FIRE PROTECTION - EXTINGUISHERS Carbon Dioxide Extinguishers The Carbon Dioxide (CO2) extinguisher is recommended for use in electronic environments and is suitable for Class E electrical hazard fires. Carbon Dioxide fire extinguishers also have limited capabilities for extinguishing small, indoor Class B flammable liquid and class A fires. Available in three sizes. Fire extinguisher identification and location signs are also available - click here for details.... For use in electronic environments 2kg, 3.5kg & 5kg capacity available Survey, installation & certification service available Wet Chemical Extinguishers Wet Chemical extinguishers utilise an aqueous solution discharged in a fine spray to the surface of Class F fires. The agent reacts with the burning oil, or fat, forming a blanket which extinguishes the flame by creating a saponifying action and changing the burning liquid into a soap like substance. Once used, as the solution is usually alkaline, it is recommended the surface be cleaned and all residue removed within a reasonable time period. 7, 3.5 & 2.5 litre capacity available Effective for Class A & F fires Survey, installation & certification service available Dry Chemical Powder Extinguishers Dry Chemical Powder fire extinguishers (DCPs) are the most widely used fire extinguishers, suitable for use on many types of fires. The compact nature of these fire extinguishers, ranging from the 0.9kg domestic model up to the 9kg industrial model, enables them to be utilised in numerous applications. 0.9kg to 9kg capacity range available 2kg and above fitted with flexible hoses Survey, installation & certification service available Foam Extinguishers These extinguishers contain a concentrate mixed with water, which produces foam when discharged. Foam extinguishers are effective against Class A & B fires involving paper, textiles, wood, plastics, rubber, petrol, oil and paints. The foam provides a blanket covering when utilised on flammable liquid or carbonaceous fires assisting with the exclusion of oxygen and thus reducing the ability of fuel to continue burning. 9 litre & 4.5 litre capacity available Effective for Class A and B fires Survey, installation & certification service available Water Extinguishers A very efficient and cost effective method to combat certain types of fires, the normal capacity of this type of fire extinguisher is 9 litres. Water acts to reduce the temperature of the burning fuel so it is below its ignition point. Water extinguishers are efficient and cost effective against Class A fires involving paper, textiles, wood, plastics and rubber. Water acts to reduce the fuel, which is burning, to below the ignition temperature. Fire extinguisher identification and location signs are also available. 9 litre capacity Effective for Class A fires Survey, installation & certification service available

22.01.2022 INSTALLATIONS Fire Safety Installations for Buildings We design, manufactures and install fire alarm systems which range from simple manual evacuation systems to large systems providing the facilities required for modern building fire safety.... Fire Detector Units These come in a variety of models depending on the facility to be protected. Thermal detectors require either a rapid rate of rise in temperature or the ambient temperature passing a set level to set them off. Smoke detectors are operated by photo-optic mechanisms where there is likely to be visible particles given off or by ionisation where combustion can take place with no real visible smoke - such as with large quantities of paper. Detector units can be any of the following: Heat Rate of temperature rise Smoke Flame Hazardous gases Air sampling (V.E.S.D.A) Sprinkler Systems Fully automatic fire sprinkler systems are widely regarded as the most effective method of controlling a fire. These systems are engineered to comply with the relevant Australian and international standards, using the latest in fire protection technology. Sprinkler systems automatically detect a fire, transmit an alarm and control or extinguish the fire. They are located in places where people cannot always be present and operate only as needed in the immediate vicinity of the fire. They have important life safety connotations, and can prevent fires from reaching destructive proportions, which may mean the difference between a minor interruption and a prolonged or permanent shutdown.

20.01.2022 MAINTENANCE Fire Safety Equipment Maintenance All fire equipment requires inspection and testing and this is often a regulatory requirement. Provision of these services to all types of fire protection systems and equipment. The performance of a fire protection system depends not only on the quality of the product, but in the quality of its maintenance program. All fire equipment must be maintained in accordance with Australian standards.... For any equipment to perform at maximum efficiency, particularly in an emergency, it must be meticulously serviced and tested at regular intervals to ensure it works if and when you might need it. Maintenance (inspection, testing, service & maintenance) of the following essential services: Fire sprinkler systems Thermal and smoke alarm systems Fire hydrant and hose reel systems Emergency warning and evacuation systems Occupant warning systems Fixed & portable fire extinguishers Fire doors & frames Emergency lighting Gas suppression systems Restaurant suppression systems Pump sets (diesel & electric) Water storage Backflow Testing Hydrant Flow Testing Where required, sub-contractors with the appropriate qualifications and licences are used.

02.01.2022 ANNUAL FIRE SAFETY STATEMENTS Fire Certification We provide Council Certification & Training and can have Fire demonstrations, which can be incorporated into annual service visits to familiarise your employees in the proper use of fire equipment safety.... Who is responsible for certification? Under the requirements of the Environmental Planning and Assessment Regulation 2000, the owner of the building must ensure that each of the measures have been assessed by a properly qualified person, and then forward a copy of the Annual Fire Safety Statement or Fire Safety Certificate to Council and the NSW Fire Brigades. A copy of the statement or certificate must also be prominently displayed in the building.

01.01.2022 FIRE PROTECTION & FIRE SAFETY Fire safety is a component of Building Safety. Some elements include:... Maximum occupancy listing (Making sure that an area isnt so full of people that they cant all get out quickly in an emergency). fire exits and proper signage of them (e.g., Exit signs pointing to them that can function in a power failure) Placing fire extinguishers and fire alarms in easily accessible places. Banning of over-flammable materials for building or use. Frequently inspecting public buildings for violations and closing it until the violation is corrected or condemn it in extreme cases. Installing fire alarm control panels for quick detection and warning of fire. Fire code (also Fire prevention code or Fire safety code) is a set of regulations prescribing minimum requirements to prevent fire and explosion hazards arising from storage, handling, or use of dangerous materials, or from other specific hazardous conditions. Fire safety code supplements building code, which includes construction requirements to minimize fire spread and to provide for safe fire exits. Although it may address similar issues, fire safety code is aimed primarily at preventing fires in the first place, including outside of buildings, and that necessary training and equipment will be on hand.
