The risk of fire is often underestimated in the commercial and private sectors, which is why fire safety checks are carried out. Negligence can lead to fatal consequences for life, health and property. Small smouldering fires and smoke development are often not recognised in time. It often takes very little time for toxic smoke and open flames to develop. In addition to the serious consequences for people, this can result in considerable damage to property. In serious cases, this can lead to plant shutdowns and employee layoffs. Fires in industrial companies across Germany cause billions in damage every year. Professional fire protection inspections by a Security service<\/a> numerous fires could have been prevented. The most common causes of fire include<\/p>\n

- Overloaded electrical cables<\/p>\n

- Incorrect operation of technical devices<\/p>\n

- Welding, soldering or flexing for expansion, repair and maintenance work<\/p>\n

- Gas concentrations<\/p>\n

- Heating of flammable substances<\/p>\n

Fire item <\/a>contribute to reducing the risk of fire with the necessary specialised knowledge, means and methods.<\/p>\n

Preventive fire protection measures<\/h2>\n

The development and spread of fires can be prevented by structural, technical and organisational measures. Trained, experienced safety staff are available to check existing protective measures. Suitable additions can also be suggested as part of a fire safety inspection. Fire protection measures include in particular<\/p>\n

- Sprinkler systems<\/p>\n

- Smoke extraction systems<\/p>\n

- Fire alarm systems<\/p>\n

- Hand-held fire extinguisher<\/p>\n

- Wall hydrants<\/p>\n

- Lighting equipment<\/p>\n

- Escape and rescue routes<\/p>\n

Intensive fire safety training for employees is a particularly important organisational measure. Practical advice on handling flammable substances and ignition sources can reduce the risk of fire. Information on behaviour in the event of a fire is also important. We create or support operational fire protection planning. We also offer reliable fire safety inspections to prevent and recognise fire hazards during hazardous work. The human error source is a particular focus here. Fires can easily occur when highly flammable materials are heated by welding, flexing and soldering work as well as flying sparks. Gas concentrations also pose a particular risk during work. During our fire safety inspections, we pay strict attention to compliance with all fire safety regulations. Depending on the individual case, we also have suitable technology at our disposal. In the event of defective fire alarm or sprinkler systems, we take the necessary monitoring measures. In the event of a fire, we immediately arrange for the necessary initial measures to be taken.<\/p>\n

Fire prevention measures by fire watch employees<\/h2>\n

After the fire brigade has finished extinguishing the fire, it may flare up again over a longer period of time. This can be caused, for example, by an increased oxygen supply due to rising winds. On request, we can take on the obligation of fire watch to relieve the owner. These important and time-consuming measures cannot be undertaken by the fire brigade responsible for emergencies. Our measures at the scene of the fire are aimed at preventing consequential damage. As part of our monitoring, we also ensure that unauthorised persons do not enter the scene of the fire. Experience has shown that there is a lack of information on the subject of fire protection.<\/p>","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-5546","encyclopedia","type-encyclopedia","status-publish","hentry"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\nBrandschutzkontrollen +++
