Fire Blankets, like all other ESM assets, are required to be serviced every 6 months. Many fire blankets are left unchecked for years and years. When they're serviced, they need to be correctly re-packed so they deploy in the manner intended.
Some older blankets in old factories and warehouses can contain Asbestos fibres that are woven into the blanket. Replacement of these is easy, though they need to be disposed of in a responsible manner. Your Service Solutions can do this for you. Contact us for a Compliance Check for your site. We also offer training in the use of Fire Blankets for correct deployment.
Fire Extinguishers are a vital part of your ESM assets. These are usually the first item most used in the event of fire breaking out. Old or un-serviced extinguishers can fail in the event of due to lack of pressure or compaction/hardening of the agent inside. The service intervals required by law are 6 months and it is also for peace of mind that the asset will function in a time of need.
Contact us if you are not sure about the condition of your portable fire extinguishers.
We also offer training in the use of Fire Extinguishers for correct and efficient use.
Emergency Exit Lights are commonly overlooked when it comes to ESM servicing. These require a separate log book to fire protection assets and not all Fire Extinguisher service technicians are certified to complete these services. Your Service Solutions is certified to complete log book servicing for both. These lighting systems are also subject to the same 6 monthly service schedule as your other ESM assets. Contact us for a Compliance Check on your Emergency Exit Lights on site to see if they comply.
