Guide to Flammable substances
These risks can be in many areas and forms, one of the highest risks within the workplace is that imposed by flammable substances used or stored on the premises.
Following the importance of recognising this area and the action to take should your premises contain these substances, Means of Escape have produced an interactive guide designed to aid the Nominated Person when assessing these areas.
We are all aware of at least one recent major incident of fire covered in the media, a recent example being the Buncefield Site.
The containment of fuel within these premises was of catastrophic proportions, the media highlighted the potential loss of life to be disastrous had the emergency occurred during a working day.
Dealing with flammable substances is not rocket science (forgive the pun), thousands of workplaces use and store these every day. As with most fire safety issues common sense, staff training and communication are the key elements when dealing with this area.
The new interactive guide for 'Flammable Substances' covers substances used in the manufacturing process and the identification and action required.
Whiting-out deleting fluids are highly flammable, toner cartridges, back up discs and tapes all need to be correctly managed and stored.
Means of Escape are launching a new interactive guide to Flammable Substances designed to aid the risk assessment process.
