Frequently asked questions: Equipment for Fire Protection Technicians
Which fire extinguisher should I choose for the company or the construction site?

The choice depends on the type of fire that can be foreseen and on the environment, because powder and carbon dioxide extinguishers cover different risks. The requirement is assessed with the risk analysis of the place. Extinguishers must comply with the EN 3 standard and be inspected periodically.

When do you need a battery-powered smoke detector?

The battery-powered smoke detector sounds an audible alarm when smoke is present and helps to signal a fire in the initial stage. It must be installed in the places indicated by the EN 14604 standard, such as rooms and escape routes. Check the battery and run the function test at regular intervals.

Which safety sign do I need for emergency exits?

Emergency exit signs, right or left, indicate the direction of the escape route. Safety signage is regulated by Title V of Italian Legislative Decree 81/2008 on workplace safety. Position the signs so that they are visible, with emergency lighting in case of a power cut.

Which respiratory protection should I choose against fumes and dust?

Gas and vapour masks and FFP filtering facepieces protect the airways, but the filter must be chosen according to the pollutant present. FFP filtering facepieces are governed by the EN 149 standard. Do not use filters in oxygen-deficient atmospheres, because in those cases a breathing apparatus is needed.

Which ladder should I choose for rescue teams?

The extension ladder with rope and the multi-position modular ladder are used to reach upper floors and intervention areas. Choose the length according to the height to be reached and the maximum load indicated. The EN 131 standard applies to the use of portable ladders.

Which PPE (personal protective equipment) should I choose for rescue operations?

Glasses, gloves and rescue masks must carry the CE conformity marking for PPE (personal protective equipment). The glove should be chosen according to the mechanical risk, in accordance with the EN 388 standard. Glasses must comply with the EN 166 standard. The final choice always follows the risk assessment of the place.

How do you use a rescue descender?

A rescue descender lets you lower yourself along a rope in a controlled way, during rescue or evacuation operations. Use requires specific training and a suitable anchor point. The maximum load and the speed of descent are indicated by the manufacturer and must be respected.

Who uses this equipment and where?

It is designed for those who manage fire prevention in companies, construction sites, offices, workshops and warehouses. The fire protection technician uses it to complete the equipment or supplement existing systems. Ladders and rescue equipment are also used by rescue teams for interventions at height.
