Essential Protection for Class F Fire Hazards
Fire blankets are indispensable in areas prone to Class F fire risks, such as kitchens and areas with oils or fats. By cutting off a fire’s oxygen supply, fire blankets effectively smother flames, providing immediate control until more advanced fire-fighting equipment can be deployed.
Safe Usage and Training
Proper use of fire blankets is crucial for safety and effectiveness. Guardian Safety Solutions offers comprehensive Online First Response Training, detailing how to use a fire blanket safely. Additionally, always follow the instructions on the fire blanket cover before use.
Important: Fire blankets are designed for single use only. After deployment, dispose of the blanket and contact your service provider for a replacement and certification.
Regular Testing and Compliance
Fire blankets must be tested every six months, requiring only a Level 1 inspection and date tagging in accordance with Australian Standard 1851. Regular maintenance ensures that your fire blanket is always ready for emergency use.
