Fire Extinguisher
It is a mechanical device created for putting out fires. The history of the fire extinguisher goes back to the 19th century, when George William Man by, Captain of the British militia, noted that firemen in Edinburgh werent able to reach the top floors of the buildings. He made a cylinder of copper which contained water and compressed air. The firemen only need to point the hose to the fire to extinguish it.

During the rest of the 19th and 20th century, this device was continuously improved due to the necessities of the modern world. Modern extinguishers contain an inner cartridge filled with carbon dioxide, which is the chemical that creates the pressure over the extinguishing agent. Once you push a lever, the carbon dioxide will push the agent and project it through the hose. The pressure will permit the user to point the fire from a safe distance, permitting him to makeover and control the fire.

Fire Exits Sign

All doors on escape routes leading towards a final exit should be quick and easy to open

without the need for a key. In most situations this is the case, for instance you simply operate the door handle of the door leading from an office and pass through. In a hotel room you require a key to get in the room but only need to operate the door handle to get out. However the final exit door of a building usually presents problems because this door requires a higher degree of security and needs to open easily. Consequently manufacturers have produced many devices to solve this problem. An important consideration is that these doors only need to be easily open able during the time the premises are occupied and additional security can be added when the premises are vacated. This usually takes the form of barrel bolts, locks and chains but with certain provisos. With barrel bolts the stop which prevents the bolt being withdrawn should be removed so the bolt can be withdrawn. The reason for this is as soon as the premises are occupied all the additional security devices have to be removed and placed on a security board. This is a board with hooks for all the barrel bolts, locks and chains, one for each and located in a prominent position where the person in charge can ensure that all the additional security devices have been removed. If additional security devices are considered necessary then the Responsible Person should insure that satisfactory management procedures should be put in place to ensure that the devices will not remain in place when the premises are occupied.
