Fires pose significant business risks, often with little warning and potentially causing immense harm to employees and assets. Implementing a comprehensive fire safety plan is crucial for every workplace, and Personnel Safety Enterprises (PSE) is here to provide expert solutions to help you achieve optimal safety.
Here are essential components to consider:
1. Fire Extinguishers
Having strategically placed fire extinguishers allows employees to respond to small fires quickly. Familiarizing your team with the PASS method—Pull, Aim, Squeeze, Sweep—ensures they can operate extinguishers effectively. Our extinguishers are inspected annually and remain pressurized, so they’re ready when you need them most.
2. Fire Suppression Systems
Kitchens are a common source of workplace fires. PSE’sPSE’s hood suppression systems automatically activate in response to extreme heat, releasing a kitchen-safe powder to extinguish flames and shutting down equipment to prevent further hazards. We conduct semiannual inspections to keep these systems compliant and fully operational.
3. Sprinkler Systems
Automatic sprinklers play a vital role in containing fires. When a fire is detected, sprinklers activate to help control the flames until firefighters arrive. Our annual inspections ensure your system functions properly and meets regulatory requirements.
4. Fire Alarms
A reliable fire alarm system is essential for early detection. Regular testing and maintenance ensure that alarms are operational, allowing for prompt evacuation in an emergency. PSE offers routine checks and replacements to keep your alarms ready.
5. Exit Lights
In the event of an emergency, marked exit routes are critical. PSE provides inspections upon request to confirm that all exit lights are illuminated and compliant with safety standards, guiding your employees safely out of the building.
6. Backflow Prevention
Backflow prevention systems ensure that water used in fire suppression does not contaminate your drinking supply. Our certified technicians handle the installation and annual testing, helping you comply with health regulations and safeguard your building’s water supply.
By focusing on these critical areas, you can significantly enhance fire safety at your workplace.
