Fire at sea is the ultimate nightmare. 🔥

There is no running to call the fire department. You are the fire department.

While the majority of shipboard fires start in the machinery or engine room, our initial instinct is to rip open the doors. However, this can cause a serious problem known as the oxygen trap.

If a fire starts in an enclosed room, it will quickly burn up all the oxygen, causing the flames to smoulder. The moment you open a door, there will be a major rush of fresh air.

This instant shot of oxygen can trigger an explosive flare-up that engulfs the companionway and cuts off your escape route.

When a workplace accident happens, do you fix the actual cause? 🚨

If a forklift operator bumps into a warehouse shelf, simply reprimanding the driver or repairing the shelf will not solve the problem in the long term.

To prevent it from happening again, you have to dig a little deeper using a highly effective root cause analysis tool called the "5 Whys" method. 👉

Training your team to look beyond the obvious is the best way to protect your staff and business.

The dangerous myth of the one-size-fits-all approach to an office fire alarm. 👩‍🚒

It is tempting to think that buying a few off-the-shelf fire alarms and mounting them to the ceiling means that your fire safety is covered.

But in South Africa, under the SANS 10139, the national code of practice for fire detection in non-domestic buildings, your building's fire alarm system must be custom-designed to match its specifications.

Here are some things to take into account:

🔥 Put a slow-reaching fire alarm in places such as the kitchen.
🔥 Think of your ceiling heights and the placement of air-conditioning vents.
🔥 Check that there aren’t any partition walls blocking your sensors.
🔥 Be aware of unzoned control panels, as you need to know which room triggered the reaction.

Not sure whether your current system meets the safety standards? We offer both supply and repair services: www.safireacademy.co.za/index.php/our-services
