One of the most effective tools you have against a fire is your staff...provided they have been trained!
Risk assessments have shown that the current marking of EN3 type fire
extinguishers could be misunderstood and in most cases, not understood -
but why is this?
The major problem with these extinguishers are the EN3 style graphical
symbols for rated fires and their appropriate use. The non-classified
and prohibitive use of these extinguishers are not clearly stated or
easy to read. This, along with the risk that an employee may use the
extinguisher inappropriately, highlights the need to ensure that all
fire equipment contain clear and concise instructions.
The solution to this problem?
Photoluminescent Self Adhesive Extinguisher Identification Labels
These
labels are an ideal tool for employees in the training, education and
understanding of fire extinguishers, a requirement clearly laid down in
the Health and Safety (Safety Signs and Signals) Regulations 1996. They
contain EN3 graphical symbols along with their meaning: the fires that
the extinguisher can be safely used on and those fires for which the
extinguisher is not suitable.
Unlike other extinguisher labels, these are totally unique because;
(a) they can still be clearly seen and read in total darkness!
(b) they're affixed directly onto the extinguisher body which means that
employees always have a reminder on the safe use of the extinguisher,
regardless of where that extinguisher is taken!
Manufactured from JALITE AAA photoluminescent materials, these labels only require exposure to normal illumination i.e: daylight, tungsten filament or fluorescent lighting to activate its incredible performance!
To order, simply quote the reference number (shown in blue) underneath the illustrated sign.
