Saving Lives
One example of this, is Fire Extinguisher placement. Take a look around your premises, chances are that you have a Water Extinguisher placed adjacent to your electrical fuse boards. This creates an electrocution hazard. We come across this scenario weekly. Often Fire Extinguishers are placed in pairs by exits with no regard to the actual hazard.
We locate our Fire Extinguishers based on the hazards presented around them.
In most circumstances a Fire should be left alone. Everyone should exit the premises and let the Fire Brigade extinguish the Fire. Of course, this is only general advice.
