EMERGENCY EQUIPMENT
There are, of course, many different types of emergencies that can occur in a work environment, but the most common risks for many industrial settings are personnel accidents, fires and spillages.
FIRST AID
Having the appropriate first aid items on hand is crucial after receiving first aid training! Since accidents in the workplace can happen frequently, keeping a fully filled first aid kit nearby might be helpful when urgent care is needed. Defibrillators are essential in saving lives when a person suffers a cardiovascular arrest. The best types that are easy to use and the correct method of storing them are important products in our emergency equipment range.
FIRE SAFETY EQUIPMENT
When it comes to meeting fire safety regulations and minimising the risk to people and property, having the right types of equipment to hand is essential. We stock a large range of fire extinguishers, so you can ensure that the appropriate apparatus are in the correct areas at all times. Whether it’s AFF foam fire extinguishers, C02 extinguishers, ABC Powder fire extinguishers, water fire extinguishers, fire buckets, wet chemical fire extinguishers or fire point trolleys, we can provide whatever you need to make your work environment safer from fire risk. We also offer a range of stands for various extinguishers, so they can be either wall-mounted or freestanding, depending on your requirements and the specific setting that this equipment is to be placed in. We also provide fire warden hi-viz waistcoats to identify the key workers in an emergency.
SPILLAGE CONTROL AND SPILL SAFETY EQUIPMENT
Spillages can be dangerous in several different ways, depending on the substance(s) involved and the environment it occurs in. People slipping on spillages and injuring themselves is one of the most common causes of workplace injury, so taking appropriate measures to make spillages safe as quickly as possible is vital in any work environment.
We offer a wide range of spill management and clean-up products, including spill control pads, rolls and cushions, spill control booms and socks to help prevent the spread of spillages or leaks. We have several standard spill kits and refills to manage chemical spillages safely, but we can also make up totally bespoke spill kits to your exact specifications, so that you can have the setup that best works for your circumstances and workplace environment.
We also stock plugging compound to help you deal with leaks from tears and ruptures in non-flexible equipment and surfaces, which can provide a temporary fix for up to 24 hours, giving you time to organise a permanent solution.
As per usual, we are happy to advise you on the best products for potential emergencies in your workplace. Just contact us to discuss your circumstances and our team will offer expert guidance on the best solutions for your needs.
