Fire Extinguishers: Ensure Safety at Offices and Work Places

The modern houses, offices and other work places are very well equipped with all the basic and high end amenities. This gives a feeling of completeness and comfort to the people associated with such places. To add more value to this, safety aspects are also thought of. In order to judge the presence of any sort of calamities like fire, smoke and fire detectors are very extensively used. These devices are based on a sensor which can detect smoke and fire, thus alarming the people to reach a safer place. Fire Extinguishers are also kept in case of minor fire outbursts.

The safety departments of all the prestigious institutions and organizations are also focusing on the methods of ensuring the best possible safety of people. The first thought that comes in the minds of all the people is of keeping a fire extinguisher in the vicinity. Such devices are either water based or CO2 based or foam based.

The companies manufacturing such safety devices are also getting much appreciation. Such companies ensure higher standards of manufacturing. This is why Fire Extinguisher Testing is carried out very frequently. Previously installed devices are also tested and are refilled once in a year.

Water Fire Extinguishers make use of water to extinguish fire. Extinguishers using water as fire preventing element are used for mainly solid burning materials. Burning solids gets cooled down and the fire is extinguished in some time. But they are not as efficient as other extinguishers which make use of foam or CO2. Such devices are comparatively cheaper than the CO2 Fire Extinguishers. The CO2 cuts the contact of fire with oxygen and the fire is extinguished immediately. Thus, it prevents the fire from spreading further and many lives can be saved within time.
