Australian homeowners are required to consider several factors to create fire-safe homes. Some of the measures for fire safety for homes include having a fire evacuation plan, fire extinguisher training, smoke alarms, and a few other safety measures. To know whether your house is fire-safe, go through the checklist below. Kitchen: Ensure that you never leave cooking unattended, as it is one of the leading causes of fires in the home. Ensure that flames don’t get into the fat while deep frying or using a wok. Supervise children all the time or keep them out of the kitchen in a safe play area while cooking. Regularly check the gas cylinder of your barbeque before lighting. Ensure that the connections are tight and there is no leakage. Keep tea towels and pot holders at a safe distance from the stove. Keep your kitchen clean. Ensure that the grills, fans and cooking surfaces are free from grease and residue. Home Appliances: Turn off the heaters before going to bed or going out of the ho

All industrial premises must maintain the required fire safety standards, which minimises the risk of fire breaking out and allows them to meet fire emergencies more effectively. From investing in quality fire safety products to staff training and building maintenance, we have created a checklist for industrial workplaces to maintain fire safety. Fire Detection And Smoke Alarms: Are the fire detection system and alarms at your premises installed by a qualified licensed technician? Do the premises have an adequate number of fire alarms? Are the fire alarms tested regularly? Do the smoke and fire detection systems receive regular maintenance? Fire Safety Equipment: Does the industrial workplace have an appropriate number of fire extinguishers? Are the portable   fire extinguishers   fully charged and easily accessible? Are the building’s sprinkler systems regularly tested and maintained? Are the fire pump and hose reel systems regularly maintained? Are emergency lights working in case of

Wheel chocks play a vital role in preventing unnecessary and accidental movements of a vehicle when parked. The wedge-shaped tool prevents vehicles from slipping, rolling, shifting, or sliding when not in operation. They are popular across various industries, including aviation, mining, construction and others, enabling better grip for stationary vehicles and increased safety. Different types of wheel chocks are available for cars, trucks, RVs, vans, and heavy-duty vehicles. As one of the leading wheel chock suppliers, FSP Australia has created a guide for better understanding  wheel chocks  and maximising workplace safety at mining sites. Wheel chocks are crucial for creating a safe working environment on mining sites, especially in regards to hauliers, milling machines and conveyors that are constantly operating in different directions. Using And Understanding A Wheel Chock Properly: When used correctly, wheel chocks are efficient safety devices. However, the process of chocking whee

  Fire extinguisher cabinets and fire hose reel cabinets ensure that fire extinguishers and fire hose reels remain intact in their place until they are needed. A high-quality cabinet significantly enhances the visual appearance of your common areas and limits the amount of wear and tear on the fire extinguishers and hose reels. There are many advantages to installing these cabinets, but usually, it comes down to the specific needs and requirements of the building and the preferences of the property owner. Benefits of installing fire extinguisher cabinets and fire hose reel cabinets Appearance: Cabinets give a uniform, blended and hidden appearance to fire extinguishers and hose reels while meeting all legal requirements. From an interior decorating viewpoint, the uniform appearance is one of the main reasons to install the cabinets. Blocks theft and tampering: Cabinets do not allow anyone to tamper or steal the fire extinguishers since a key is required to access the fire extinguis

If you live on a farm, you already know what troughs and tanks are, their size and structure that differs for various animals, and their benefits. A trough is what animals eat or drink from, while a water tank is a place to store water, usually placed near a wind-driven water pump in an animal pen or field. In Australia, the watering trough is established so that sheep, cattle and other domesticated animals can drink and eat. In days gone by, watering troughs were very common in many towns and cities of Australia as a means for horses to drink while they were tethered to a post. In 1927 animal lovers Annis and George Bills funded the building of 500 watering troughs in Australia, Ireland, England and the United States. Rainfall in the central part of Australia is usually sparse. As a result, many areas face water shortages during the hot summer months every year. It is essential for areas facing water shortages to find an alternative to resolve this problem. One of the common ways to c
