Safety is the state of being "safe"

(from French sauf ), the condition of

being protected against physical,

social, spiritual, financial, political,

emotional, occupational,

psychological, educational or other

types or consequences of failure,

damage, error, accidents, harm or any

other event which could be

considered non-desirable.

Our safety helmets are also

designed for optimal comfort,

even in situations where you

need to protect

head, Helmets are designed

to protect all sides of your

head, a hard hat worn to

protect the head from injury.

A face shield is a deviceused to protect wearer's entire face (or part of it) from impact hazard such as flying objects and chemical splashes (in industry), or potentially infectious fluid (in medical).

Goggles or safety glasses are forms of protective

eyewear that usually enclose or protect the area

surrounding the eye in order to prevent

particulates, water or chemicals from striking

the eyes. They are used in chemistry laboratories

and also in woodworking. Goggles are often

worn when using power tools such

as drills or chainsaws to prevent flying particles

from damaging the eyes. Many types of goggles

are available as prescription goggles for those

with vision problems.

Earmuffs are objects designed to

cover a person's ears for protection.

They consist of

a thermoplastic or metal head-band,

that fits over the top or back of

the head, and a pad at each end, to

cover the external ears. Ear

defenders protect the wearer from

extreme noises.

Safety gloves are hand garments meant for the

protection of the wrist, hand, fingers, and thumbs

from adverse processes or conditions. These items

are virtually limitless in application and

find employment in both industrial and commercial

marketplaces. Their functionality is determined by

the material and design of the glove. As a form of

personal protective equipment (PPE) gloves defend

the user's hands from general risk. These items may

protect from occupational hazards as well as

recreational risks.

An apron is an outer protective garment that covers primarily the front of the body. It may be worn for hygienic reasons as well as in order to protect clothes from wear and tear, or else due to a symbolic meaning. Rubber aprons are commonly used by persons working with dangerous chemicals, and lead aprons are commonly worn by persons such as X-ray technicians who work near radiation. Aprons, such as those used by carpenters, may have many pockets to hold tools.

A dust mask is a flexible pad held over the nose and

mouth by elastic or rubber straps to protect

against dusts encountered during construction

or cleaning activities, such as dusts,

from drywall, concrete, wood, fibreglass, silica (from

ceramic or glass production), or sweeping.

A steel toe boot (also known as a safety boot, steel-capped boot or safety shoe) is a durable boot or shoe that has a protective reinforcement in the toe which protects the foot from falling objects or compression, usually combined with a mid sole plate to protect against punctures from below.

Although traditionally made of steel, the reinforcement can also be made of a composite material, a plastic such as thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) or even Aluminium. Steel-toe boots are important in the construction industry and in many industrial settings.

FIREA process in which substances combine chemically with oxygen from the air and typically give out bright light, heat and smoke ;combustion or burning.

A fire extinguisher, or extinguisher, is an active fire protection device used to extinguish or control small fires, often in emergency situations. Typically, a fire extinguisher consists of a hand-held cylindrical pressure vessel containing an agent which can be discharged to extinguish a fire.

Class “A”

Class “B”

Class “C”

Class “D”

Class “K”

These are the fires in

combustible materials

(wood, cloth, paper , fabrics,

rubber, natural fibrils and

coal).

Water

With or without chemical addition cools and quenches.

Soda

Quenches and cools.

Foam

Clings to vertical surface, wet and smoother.

These occur in flammable

liquids like (Petrol or

gasoline, Spirit, alcohols,

grease, oil, plastics)

Carbon Di Oxide Smoother fires, has no ill effect on food and leaves no residue.

Dry ChemicalsSmoother fires. Vaporizing liquid is converted into gas –which smoother the fire.

FoamSmoother Burning Liquids.

These fires are caused in materials

mentioned in class ‘A’ and ‘B’ due

to defects in electrical equipment.

These fires also flammable gases

such as propane and butane. A non-

conductivity extinguishing agent

must be used.

Carbon dioxide

Is a non conductor ; will not damage costly electrical equipment or leave residue.

Dry Chemicals

Is a non- conductor of electricity vaporizing liquid also is a non-conductor.

Fire involving metals

such as magnesium and

aluminium.

Special dry powder must be used and no other extinguisher. these includes powdered graphite powered talc, soda ash, limestone and dry sand. All this extinguishes work by smothering the fire.

Heat is important when cooking, and oils and fats

are often used to create that heat as they can be

brought to a high temperature quickly. These highly

flammable substances are used to fry and sauté

foods, and when they catch fire, they must be

brought under control immediately. Some examples

of cooking oils and fats include:

Vegetable oils like canola, corn, and safflower

Olive oil

Butter

Our Wet Chemical extinguishers contain a blend of Potassium Acetate and Potassium Citrate that is extremely effective in suppressing high temperature fires involving cooking oils and grease.
