Having worked in the fire safety industry for a long time, we have discussed fire safety issues with various company leaders, and fortunately, we increasingly encounter companies that understand the importance of fire safety, the need for it, and the importance of preventive measures to avoid the consequences that a fire could cause. However, we still encounter companies that try to meet only the minimum requirements to avoid penalties for non-compliance with fire safety regulations.
To protect your business and ensure its continuity, simply meeting legal requirements and having insurance may not be enough. Even if the company and its operations are insured, a fire could paralyze its operations for a long time, directly affecting customers due to delayed product deliveries and services. After a thorough investigation, insurers will likely cover losses caused during the fire, provided you have followed all legal requirements, but they will not cover lost profits or lost customers who have found new suppliers.
According to statistics, fires most often occur due to careless handling of fire and electrical short circuits, so BSAFETY recommends not only meeting the minimum fire safety requirements but also protecting specifically the potentially dangerous areas.
Automatic aerosol fire suppression systems have a wide range of applications, and it could be said that it is the most suitable solution for extinguishing electrical fires. Aerosol fire suppression technology is widely used worldwide due to its high efficiency, low cost, and ergonomics. These are often installed to protect:
- electrical distribution rooms
- electrical distribution panels
- charging rooms (lithium-ion and acid battery charging rooms)
- generator rooms
- substations
- cable tunnels
