Solo Overnight Doing a $100 Harbor Freight Survival Challenge in The Woods and Ribeye on a Stick

If there is one thing I am quite sure of, it is that fire protection has become quite a necessity for individuals here in the United Kingdom, if not for every business owner out there. Fires are relatively common in our country – even if they are also quite preventable given proper equipment and knowledge. Under our law, specifically the Fire Safety Order (FSO) effective as of 2006 every establishment just like my own as a scientific equipment distributor is legally required to have employed satisfactory fire safety measures in our operations. Of course, we also want to protect our assets and more importantly, our people – employees and visitors alike.

The workplace is always bustling with people working so hard and making sure that everything is in proper order. As the employer, you cannot help but feel satisfied over the performance of your employees. However, it still bothers you that when it is time to have fire seminars and drills, most of the people who work in your company just appear uninterested and bored. You feel dismayed because you know how important this matter is. The good news is that there are some things you can do to change your employee’s attitude and perception regarding this subject.

A fire outbreak is extremely dangerous as it can damage properties, cause injuries, and even result in death. However, the fact that you can easily identify a fire when there is one by smelling smoke, seeing flames, or feeling the heat, makes it easier for you to fight it or escape from it safely. But what if you encounter something as dangerous but you cannot even smell, taste, feel or see it? Carbon monoxide, which most people call the silent killer, is a poisonous gas that cannot be seen, smelt, felt, or tasted produced by faulty gas appliances. This element has been proved to be fatal even in low concentrations in the atmosphere.

The Internet has brought so many wonderful innovations in our lives. Not only has it made access to information much easier, it has also changed the way people purchase products and services. For example, before, you would need to go to a brick and mortar store to purchase a new foam fire extinguisher.

The power of powder lies in its versatility. As a multi-purpose extinguisher, a powder fire extinguisher can tackle a wide variety of fires that most other types cannot do. It is no wonder that you would often see this efficient firefighting tool in most homes, offices, schools, hospitals, shopping malls, and other commercial areas. Painted bright red with a blue panel on top of the label, these extinguishers contain powder, an extinguishing agent that can put out Classes A, B, and C fires. And although they are not designed for electrical fires, they are safe to use around electrical equipment.

If you own a restaurant, cafe, fast food, or any other type of food business, you probably know that kitchen cooking is the primary cause of fire in these kinds of businesses. This is why, it is crucial to ensure safety in your commercial kitchen to prevent the occurrence of a fire outbreak that can damage your business, threaten the lives of your employees and customers, and destroy everything you have worked for your entire life. Fortunately, safety in the commercial kitchen is not that difficult to achieve if you have the right attitude and knowledge about this matter. To help you in promoting kitchen safety, here are some tips to keep in mind.

I have always been very cautious about fire safety in my own business – since it is a scientific equipment distribution company, my work involves transportation of sensitive and volatile chemicals and machinery. I do try my best to make sure people in my office are safe from any preventable disaster and the same goes for my family members and everyone who is staying within my vicinities. I do this via a fire training program issued by our trusted local fire marshall, who gives the low down on fire safety points to all my personnel from the sales officers down to the janitors.

To the general public, fire extinguishers are safety requirements. They just need to be there because the marshal said so. So even if most people see one every day, only a few tend to know their classifications, what they are for and how to use them.

Getting your house or building ravaged by huge flames is a great tragedy. It is one of those unfortunate incidents that will make you lose everything including your personal belongings, your house and in worse cases, lives – either that of your own or your family. But since fire is not something that you can predict, the least you can do is be prepared for it.

The festive holiday season is fast approaching. In fact, as early as now, you can already feel the Christmas spirit all over with decorations like trees and lights, and wonderful tunes of yuletide music that can be heard almost wherever you go. You would see town halls, gift shops, departmental stores, churches, Cathedrals, and restaurants decorated beautifully with electric lights that brighten up the occasion.
