Cavities are found throughout buildings of all types. They are created by the way the structural elements of a building fit together, leaving often hidden gaps that serve no function. Common places to find cavities are in external walls and ceiling voids. When a cavity exists in an external wall, it can act in the same way as a chimney – in the event of a fire at ground floor level, that means it can draw the flames and heat up to the higher floors. That in turn allows a fire to spread th...

Fires come in a number of different types, and depending exactly what it is that is on fire, one needs to use different kinds of extinguishers to put them out. That’s because some extinguishers are more effective at putting out certain fires, while others can be positively dangerous when used at the wrong time, such as using a water-based extinguisher on an electrical or kitchen fire. One common fire extinguisher that one likely to come across in many work environments directs carbon diox...

When a CO2 extinguisher is used in a confined space there is a danger that the user may become overwhelmed by the sudden increase in carbon dioxide emissions. This occurs as CO2 is an asphyxiant, and the confined space means oxygen will be replaced by CO2 much faster. Using powder extinguishers Similarly, care must also be taken when using powder extinguishers. When the powder is discharged it can impair visibility and impact the breathing of the user, possibly jeopardizing their escape. The...
