Safety Flash

Refueling Vehicle Safety

Did you know that it’s against the law to leave your vehicle engine running when refueling? Gas vapours, which are heavier than air, linger at ground level and in enclosed spaces and can flow in pools and gaseous streams. All it would take to create an explosion is a mix of fuel vapours, enough oxygen, and a source of ignition. Ignition sources can vary from a cigarette spark, to a hot exhaust pipe, to static electricity.

Smoke Alarm Safety

Provincial fire statistics indicate that in residential fires, 42 per cent of those homes did not have smoke alarms installed. In cases where smoke alarms were installed, only 36 per cent of the alarms are known to have been activated. As you can see, 36 per cent is pretty low since a house fire can become life threatening within three minutes.

Driving Safety

Fall is upon us now and, as such, we must begin to consider the changing conditions of the roads and highways we use each day.

Fall Arrest Equipment Inspection Part Two

Basic care of all safety equipment will prolong the durable life of the unit and will contribute toward the performance of its vital safety function. Proper storage and maintenance after use are as important as cleaning the equipment of dirt, corrosives, or contaminants.

Fall Arrest Equipment Inspection

Fall Arrest Systems are our last line of defense against fall risk situations. When all other control measures have been exhausted, we rely of fall arrest as the means to prevent a fall from height. These types equipment are life saving devices and should be cared for in the same manner as any other PPE that has sentimental value to us.
