Problem/Risk
High Risk Areas
Machines operating at high temperatures, parts that are likely to spark, high voltage usage or simply flammable contents can be some of the many reasons a fire can break out.
Solution
Quick response
Typically, a fire extinguisher has been strategically placed not too far away, but that’s not good enough!
You NEED a fire extinguisher that is:
- Right there, at arm’s length away to stop the fire, just as it has been identified. Mounted to the machine itself or right next to a work/control station.
- Easy to use! No complicated technique or training, which is required for a traditional extinguisher to be 100% effective.
Problem/Risk
Downtime
Machines experience enough downtime as it is.
Now add a small fire to the mix and you’re able to extinguish it quickly, however, now you are left with tons of highly corrosive powder, messy foam or water from the fire extinguisher.
The mess (especially with a powder) can cause untold electrical or mechanical issues, WHAT A HEADACHE!
Solution
No Mess
There are 5 common pressurised traditional extinguishers that make a mess, and 2 of them leave a corrosive mess.
However, with the Fire Safety Stick, you’ll have a fire extinguisher that:
- Doesn’t leave any corrosive mess – You can stop that early-stage fire WITHOUT the corrosive mess left behind afterwards!
Yes, a CO2 extinguisher is also a clean agent (no-mess) extinguisher.
However, they are not recommended for indoor use and are limited to just two fire class certifications (Class B flammable liquids and Electrical fires).
Problem/Risk
Asset Risk
Machines are NOT cheap, and can’t be repaired or replaced in a blink of an eye!
Having a fire is not cheap either.
So, any way you can mitigate the costs caused by such an event should be seriously and thoroughly explored, leaving you satisfied that your fire strategy covers every avenue and risk.
Solution
No Mess (Again)
With such HIGH risks, having something that is:
- Compact & Light – meaning it has the potential to be worn on the belt of an employee for immediate response.
- Mount it anywhere – It is so easy to place it next to or on the machine or directly at an employee workstation.
- No corrosive mess – The last thing you would want to deal with is any corrosive mess eating away at your critically important machines, with the Fire Safety Stick you can extinguish an early-stage fire without the addition of any corrosive mess.
Problem/Risk
Difficulty of the Fire
The difficulty of the fire can range from beginner to expert.
In very few cases will a fire start right out in the open, plain as day to see, and simple enough to reach and extinguish. In reality, it’s behind a vent, panel or casing, amongst wiring looms, circuits, or right in the heart of the machine.
Traditional extinguishers such as foam, powder, and water typically require line of sight or direct access to the source of the flame, which can be very difficult when the fire is behind a panel or machine casing.
Next, is the kind of fire you are fighting, grabbing the wrong extinguisher for the wrong kind of fire can be disastrous. This is why many employ powder-type extinguishers because they cover 4 major fire classes, however, they leave a horrible corrosive mess and are now no longer recommended for indoor use because of potential vision impairment, eye irritation, skin irritation, and lung irritation including coughing and breathing complications.
Solution
Versatile
The difficulty of fire becomes much simpler with the Fire Safety Stick:
- Early or Incipient Stage Fires – the Fire Safety Stick, like other extinguishers, is for early-stage fires. Developed or out-of-control fires should only be tackled by experienced and highly trained individuals such as the fire and rescue services.
- Technique – The simplicity of the Fire Safety Stick provides an easy-to-control and adaptable cloud of vapour. Allowing the vapour to do the work for you will result in the Fire Safety Stick extinguishing any early-stage fire quickly and effectively.
- All Major Fire Classes – Certified for 5 fire classes including Class A (flammable materials), Class B (flammable liquids), Class C (flammable gases), Electrical fires up to 100,000v and Class F (cooking oils and fats). This means the likelihood of you picking up the wrong extinguisher for the job is drastically reduced.
- Access Difficulty – With fires that may be hidden behind panels or the machine casings, the user can feed the vapour cloud in between the panels and gaps, something very difficult to achieve with a powder, foam or water-type extinguisher.
Problem/Risk
Annual Costs
All businesses have ever known since the introduction of pressurised fire extinguishers are the follow-on costs.
Year after year of costs!
Wouldn’t it be nice if you could add a fire extinguisher to your fire strategy that does not incur consistent invoices for servicing this and replacing that?
Solution
No Annual Costs
This becomes a no-worry situation with the Fire Safety Stick, because:
- 15 Year Shelf Life – the Fire Safety Stick posseses a shelf life that is usually 3x more than traditional extinguishers, only exception is a CO2 extinguisher that has 10 year shelf life.
- No Annual Servicing – Because the Fire Safety Stick is not pressurised, is in a completely stable state and has no moving parts, it requires zero professional servicing. For businesses, a very simple visual spot check is performed by a responsible employee/s on a regular basis, easy peasy!
Problem/Risk
Carbon Footprint
Let’s face it, the pressure on businesses to find greener and greener alternatives is more and more each year.
As you know, having greener business credentials can be all the difference, and traditional pressurised fire extinguishers aren’t the best in this category.
Solution
Green
How the Fire Safety Stick will help your business become more green:
- Environmentally Friendly – has zero ozone-depleting potential and is perfectly safe for the surrounding environment.
- Recyclable – After use the Fire Safety Stick is only an aluminium tube and a plastic handle which can be widely and easily recycled, without the need for a special removal service that some other fire extinguishers require.
- PFAS Free – PFAS, or per- and poly-fluoroalkyl substances, are a group of thousands of man-made chemicals used in various products, known for their persistence in the environment and potential health risks. The Fire Safety Stick does NOT contain PFAS!
*Important Note*
In most cases for commercial buildings (including factories/plants), the Fire Safety Stick is a complimentary product to your existing fire strategy. However, exploring the possibility of having the Fire Safety Stick to ‘replace’ your existing fire extinguishers requires an important step.
Fire risk assessment
A new or updated fire risk assessment would need to be written to allow ‘fire fighting equipment to aid escape’. We can direct you to a risk assessor who is familiar with the Fire Safety Stick and will be able to provide you with an unbiased professional view on whether you can indeed change the risk assessment to accommodate the Fire Safety Stick if it is appropriate for the risks in your business.
