We know we cant prevent disasters

from striking, but we can prevent

damage before they hit.
 Smoke alarms and fire extinguishers are the
first lines of defense in the event of a fire in
a building.
Smoke alarms can be battery powered, or
connected to the electrical circuitry within
the building. These alarms are intended to
detect a high level of smoke or particles in
the air and emit a loud warning signal. If the
smoke alarms in the organizations building
are battery powered, it is imperative that
the batteries in the alarms are routinely
checked to ensure they operate.
 A portable device that discharges a jet of water, foam, gas, or other
material to extinguish a fire.
A portable fire extinguisher is very effective
when used while the fire is small.
The use of a fire extinguisher that matches
the class of fire, by a person who is well
trained, can save both lives and property.
Extinguishers should be clearly visible and
conspicuously located and readily accessible
for immediate use in the event of fire.
They should be located along normal paths of
travel and exit.
An RCD constantly monitors the current flowing along a
circuit. If it senses any loss of current, where electricity is
diverting to the ground rather than through the circuit, is will
immediately shut off.
 Ifyour body is providing the path for the
electricity to divert to the ground, you could
be seriously injured, burned, severely
shocked or electrocuted.
BUT, An RCD will prevent the shock being
fatal by shutting the system down instantly.
RCDs should be installed in damp areas of
your home where there are electric fittings,
such as bathrooms, laundries, kitchens,
garages, pools and external electric outlets.
Socket outlets fitted with internal protective shutters
make it more difficult for children to poke things into
them.
A device making a loud noise that gives warning of a fire.
A fire alarm is a an electronic sounder or a bell. The sounder makes a
loud high pitched sound to alert people that there is a fire in the
building.
A fire alarm system is number of devices
working together.
A Fire Alarm cannot be installed solo.
These alarms may be activated from smoke
detectors and heat detectors.
The choice of fire alarm system depends on
the building structure, the purpose and use
of the building and current legislation.
