Building protection acts are designed to make buildings especially of public use to be made safe for their users. Mostly the privately owned offices and factories were found to be the highest ratio of violators. In case of fire the worst case scenario is about people getting trapped and unable to survive. In most cases people die inside the premises due to suffocation or getting burned. The burnt people who do not die but are still alive are in unbearable when rescued. A minor negligence of someone goes a long way in damaging people’s live and property. There needs to be a stop to it and let people have a safe exit passage when flames get out of control.

Usually in commercial buildings the stairs are used for such evacuation purposes. That is why you can see that their doors are not of wood but are mostly used of materials that would become a shield against heat. While this is just a precaution to allow people to exit the building safely, there should be more to control the damages that occur. The Novec 1230 gas suppression system is designed to provide protection to the people, the building and other immovable things inside. The gas is used to kill flames and buy more time for people to evacuate. Novec is easily the most powerful fire suppression gas.

There is no way you can keep an eye open in every nook and cranny of the building. Most of the time trouble is caused when there’s no one around to spot it when the flames start appearing. That’s why it is important to equip the facility with heat and smoke sensors. As the flames start appearing the sensors would raise the alarm and gas would be released by the automatic system. The gas upon falling on the flames starts breaking the chain reaction which kills it within seconds. Hence they never get the chance to widespread and cause trouble.

Make sure you have a mechanism to keep checking the gas filled cylinders. As the gas is used you do not know how much is still present inside. Using the ultrasonic liquid level indicator one can easily learn about the level remaining. If it is down from the center of the cylinder it is time for a refill. Call your supplier and ask him to bring you a fresh cylinder to replace with the used one. This way when you need the gas another time there will be plenty available and your building will always remain safe.
