Additional information, breakdown of fire safety equipment.

By fire-fighting equipment we mean all kinds of fixed or semi-permanent devices, either manually or automatically activated, which are responsible for detecting and fighting fires as well as neutralising their effects. Fire-fighting equipment is divided into devices forming part of the voice warning system and the fire alarm system, signalling and alarm devices, fire alarm receiving devices and damage signal receiving devices, evacuation lighting systems, hydrants, hydrant valves, pumps in fire pumping stations, smoke extraction devices, fire dampers.

As far as hand-held firefighting equipment is concerned, its purpose is to extinguish a fire at the first stage of its origin. Hand-held fire extinguishing equipment includes: fire extinguishers, hydronets, small fire extinguishing units, fire extinguishing balls and blankets, internal hydrants.

With regard to fire protection of buildings, other structures and grounds (Journal of Laws No. 109, item 719), fire-fighting equipment, including portable and mobile fire extinguishers, should be subjected to technical inspections and maintenance activities at intervals determined by the manufacturer, but at least once a year. According to the country's three largest manufacturers of fire extinguishers and fire extinguishing units, the first inspection should take place before twelve months from the date of manufacture, while the second inspection and each subsequent inspection should be carried out every six months. The inspection interval for fire extinguishing equipment may be shorter in cases where there has been deterioration in technical condition and extinguishing effectiveness. Such situations are most common in the chemical industry, offshore industry, mining, facilities with special fire hazards and adverse climatic conditions.

Inspection is the periodic testing of the technical condition of equipment, including fire extinguishers and fire extinguishing units. These examinations are designed to check the technical performance of the equipment to confirm its correct operation. . If it is then a matter of repair, it requires workshop action to ensure that the hand-held fire extinguishing equipment is restored to serviceable function. The repair includes: dismantling and assembling the equipment, replacing the extinguishing agent, cleaning, painting and strength testing the container and marking.
