Ballyclare announces major tender win

News Desk /

Ballyclare has revealed details of a major new tender win with the latest additions to its XENON range of multi-functional structural firefighting clothing. The contract, which covers PPE for some 3,200 firefighters, has been awarded by three fire and rescue services in the Yorkshire and Humberside region, and includes new additions to the XENON range which have been developed to meet the specific demands of this customer. “With today’s firefighting and rescue professionals facing an ever-expanding range of challenges, we continue to develop our XENON garments to make sure they offer the highest levels of protection,” explains Ballyclare’s Business Development Manager, Andrew Buckley. “We’re constantly working with our customers to advance the XENON range and provide bespoke solutions for their requirements. This latest success is another example of that strategy in action, and it will benefit firefighters in the South Yorkshire, West Yorkshire and Humberside regions.” “One of the key factors for us awarding the contract to Ballyclare was the feedback provided by the end-users who participated in the garment tests,” explains Category Manager Mark Lloyd, of the South Yorkshire Fire and Rescue Service. “Wearers commented that they felt no need to remove their suits as soon as possible in order to cool down, and described the garments as the ‘most comfortable’ and ‘most innovative’ PPE they had ever worn. The level of protection, moisture management and freedom of movement also drew comments from the test participants.” The new garments feature a unique layered construction which enhances the traditional XENON advantages of outstanding protection, high levels of breathability and maximum freedom of movement. The outer layer of the garments is a strong but extremely lightweight fabric which provides excellent protection against heat and flame, and also delivers outstanding tensile strength. It will not become brittle, shrink or break open when exposed to flame or high temperatures, thus ensuring reliable protection for the wearer. Next comes a cutting-edge moisture barrier which has been specified to meet the requirements of this customer. A unique, lightweight 3D construction and a ‘ridged’ profile reduces the amount of contact with the wearer by some 30%. This increases the barrier’s ability to trap air and provide another heat barrier, and also speeds up the transmission of moisture away from the wearer. The rugged construction of this fabric allows the XENON garments to withstand constant washing cycles without compromising on comfort, breathability or protection. Completing the new XENON garments is a thermal layer which also has a 3D construction that traps air to add yet another barrier against heat. This hydrophilic layer also helps transfer moisture away from the wearer and into the moisture barrier, thus allowing the wearer’s skin to breathe more easily and ensuring maximum comfort. The new XENON garments also include the world’s first fire-retardant and fully-launderable phosphorescent tape, which significantly increases the visibility of firefighters in dark conditions. After just a few minutes of exposure to ultraviolet light this tape gives off an intense glow for up to 8 hours, in conditions where there is little or no light, significantly increasing the visibility of the wearer. “We have worked with our colleagues from across Yorkshire as part of a regional exercise to secure new structural PPE from Ballyclare International,” adds Humberside Fire & Rescue Service Procurement Manager, Dave Lofthouse. “This has helped us all benefit from efficiencies while providing our staff with new PPE that improves their safety and comfort.”   To stay up to date on the latest, trends, innovations, people news and company updates within the global fire market please register to receive our newsletter here.

FPA lambasts government’s proposals for sprinklers in school

News Desk /

This week, the Government finished consulting on changes to BB100 – the document that sets out fire safety design in schools. The FPA is proud to be one of the signatories of a letter sent by 23 organisations to the Education Secretary setting out why the proposals do not go far enough when it comes to improving fire safety in schools. The letter asks the Education Secretary to immediately reconsider and expand his Department’s proposals to mandate sprinklers in all new build and major refurbished school projects, and not just focus on Special Educational Needs (SEN) schools, boarding schools, and those over 11 metres. The letter recognises the emphasis on life safety but notes: “The fire safety building regulations’ focus on life safety creates a false sense of security as buildings remain vulnerable to a total fire loss.” It urges: “Building to a property protection baseline ensures schools will be able to withstand a fire – so that it is able to be used again – often within hours of a fire incident.” The consequences of school fires are not just financial but affect well-being and impact education in the long term as facilities are unable to be used for long periods of time. The disparity between England and the devolved administrations in Wales and Scotland is marked. The letter asks: “Why the installation of sprinklers in new build and major refurbished schools is mandatory in Scotland and required for central funding in Wales but not in England and Northern Ireland?” The letter concludes by reaffirming that the 23 signatories are united in their position and see that the Government has missed an opportunity to improve the resilience of the school estate. They urge the Government to rethink its approach and mandate them in all new build and refurbished schools: “To protect and improve the resilience of the school estate and to protect life.” First published by the Fire Protection Association: https://www.thefpa.co.uk/news/fpa-joins-other-industry-leaders-to-lambast-government-s-proposals-for-sprinklers-in-schools   To stay up to date on the latest, trends, innovations, people news and company updates within the global fire market please register to receive our newsletter here.

Owners of low-rise flats freed from wall safety certificate requirement

News Desk /

In a statement released at the same time as a Commons debate on the Building Safety Bill, which seeks to tackle the safety and regulatory repercussions of the 2017 Grenfell Tower fire in London, the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government announced the change. Following expert advice by a group led by Dame Judith Hackitt, who reviewed building regulations after the Grenfell disaster, people living in blocks below 18 metres in height will no longer be advised to have an external wall survey, or EWS-1 certificate, before they sell their flats, which has been standard since Grenfell. Many people seeking to sell or re-mortgage have found their building does not have an EWS-1, a document that certifies that a block’s construction is free of combustible materials. Some leaseholders have been obliged to embark on extensive remedial works to gain the certificate. The new guidance is not mandatory, as EWS1 certificates are not regulated by government, but the strong guidance to mortgage lenders that the certificates are not needed is intended to iron out what officials call “unintended consequences” of post-Grenfell advice. The Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government argues that there is no systemic fire risk in such lower-rise blocks, and that work can be limited to less expensive measures such as fitting alarms or sprinklers, rather than the removal of cladding. The End Our Cladding Scandal group said it cautiously welcomed the announcement, but warned that in the past mortgage lenders had not listened to similar advice. A spokesperson said: “At every turn, the government has sought to find solace in the market even though it has been abundantly clear for years that the only body truly capable of standing up to the vested interests in the leasehold, construction and insurance sectors, and ending this living nightmare, is the government itself.” Robert Jenrick, the Communities Secretary, described the new advice as “a significant step forward” for leaseholders who had had problems selling their homes. Previously, ministers said that blocks under 18 metres in height needed an EWS1 check only if they had certain particularly worrying types of cladding, but the check had become the default for most buildings. Stephen McPartland, the Conservative MP for Stevenage, who has been a regular critic of the government over its response to the cladding issue, told MPs during the debate on the building safety bill that Jenrick had “created a market failure” with the previous advice. The MP requested information on the position for people in lower-rise buildings who faced significant bills due to work necessitated by EWS-1 checks. Officials hope that in many cases, if no work has begun, leaseholders could be spared having to pay since the work is no longer needed.   To stay up to date on the latest, trends, innovations, people news and company updates within the global fire market please register to receive our newsletter here.

Why firefighters need to take extra care of their protective footwear

News Desk /

There is a growing body of evidence that a toxic cocktail of substances may linger on PPE after a fire and intensify the on-the-job risks. Firefighting is a life-threatening job, with every shift bringing dangerous incidents such as fires, floods, storms and road traffic collisions. Alongside risks including heat exhaustion, burns and mental stress, other less visible hazards pose a threat to firefighter safety. Firefighters may be exposed to high levels of toxic substances during and after a fire, as cancer-causing chemicals remain on PPE clothing and elsewhere at the fire ground. Fires produce a cocktail of toxic, irritant and carcinogenic chemicals in the form of aerosols, dusts, fibres, smoke and fumes or gases and vapours, increasing cancer risks and lung deterioration. However, decontamination and cleaning procedures en-route to, during, and after a fire can reduce, minimise or eliminate exposure hazards. Global functional footwear expert HAIX is sharing its advice on thoroughly cleaning and decontaminating its firefighter boots to help prevent a build-up of dangerous contaminants and protect wearer safety. The Impact of Hazardous Chemicals and Substances on Protective Footwear Many fire combustion products, including hydrocarbons, polynuclear aromatic compounds, metals such as cadmium and chromium, and acids and soot, are hazardous to firefighters. These substances can become embedded in footwear, penetrate the inner layer, and enter the body. In addition, particulates and other combustion products can reduce the flame resistance of footwear and its ability to conduct electricity. Wearers must clean their footwear thoroughly to reduce the risk of long-term harm from hazardous substances present in fire combustion products or chemicals. Wearers exposed to hazardous chemicals and pathogens need to follow the relevant cleaning and decontamination precautions in line with legal regulations to limit exposure and risk of harm to themselves and others. Anyone involved in the handling, sorting, bagging, transporting, and laundering of contaminated footwear must wear utility gloves and appropriate PPE to prevent exposure. When to Clean and Decontaminate HAIX Boots Wearers should clean their footwear at least every six months or as soon as possible after contamination or exposure to smoke, blood or body fluids, hazardous substances or hazardous liquid chemicals. If exposure has occurred, workers should stop using their boots until cleaned and disinfected. How to Clean and Decontaminate HAIX Boots Do’s Use protective gloves when handwashing HAIX footwear in a utility sink with warm water and a wet shoe brush, avoiding scrubbing because this can cause abrasion of the boots Use mild washing-up liquid and water with a temperature less than 110° F Choose a disinfectant spray with an EPA 4 toxicity rating that does not use alcohol, bleach or other toxic chemicals Remove and wash the insole in a machine with cold water on a delicate cycle Air-dry boots on a rack to provide maximum air exposure and reduce drying time Clean HAIX footwear separately from other items to avoid the spread of chemical contamination or hazardous combustion products For footwear with a rist protector such as the HAIX Fire Eagle, Fire Hero and Airpower XR91, loosen and then clean the protector Don’ts Don’t use saddle soaps or soaps that contain fats Don’t use bleach or chlorinated detergents as even small amounts of these detergents can reduce the boot’s protective qualities Don’t dry footwear in direct/indirect sunlight, fluorescent light, a tumble dryer, in front of open windows, hot ovens or radiators because ‘fast drying’ will change the shape of the shoe Don’t use high-velocity power washers or pressure hoses for washing footwear. These tools can severely damage the raw materials and seams, compromising the protection of the footwear Simon Ash, HAIX UK Sales Manager, comments, “Firefighters exercise courage in times of fear, heroism in times of danger and dedication when their communities need them most. Being in the profession of helping others means their lives often rest in the balance. While nothing can one-hundred per cent guarantee the elimination of toxic chemicals from footwear, we hope our guidance will help to protect firefighter safety while they continue to protect ours.”   To stay up to date on the latest, trends, innovations, people news and company updates within the global fire market please register to receive our newsletter here.

Intrinsically safe fill indicator for fire extinguishers at HazardEx 2021

News Desk /

An advanced ultrasonic liquid level indicator for fire extinguishers will be demonstrated by Link Instruments at HazardEx 2021. Using the intrinsically safe ULLC IS, the fill levels of banks of extinguishers in hazardous areas can easily be checked without interrupting normal operation. This avoids the need for shutdowns, leading to substantial savings in time and costs. The hand-held unit uses ultrasound to locate the boundary between the liquified and gaseous gas. To use, the transducer is placed against the cylinder body just below the expected fill level and then gradually raised until the readout shows a sharp jump. This happens due to the greatly enhanced propagation of ultrasound when the transducer reaches the liquid / gas interface. The ULLC IS can be used with fire extinguisher cylinders containing liquid CO2, Halon, FM200, NOVEC etc, and is ATEX certified to II 2G Ex ib IIC T4 Gb. It is particularly useful in industries such as oil, gas and marine – especially LPG carriers. Designed and manufactured in the UK by Link Instruments, it is supplied with a transducer and an extension pole for easy access to bulk extinguisher installations on ships etc. There is a five year warranty on the instrument and a one year warranty on the transducer. HazardEx 2021 will take place in Harrogate, North Yorkshire, UK on 6 and 7 October 2021.

Bureau Veritas: new Fire Safety Act prompts risk assessment review

News Desk /

Safety and compliance expert, Bureau Veritas is encouraging landlords and duty holders to prepare for the Fire Safety Act 2021 which will make significant changes to fire safety regulation – describing the legislation as a new era for building safety. Given Royal Assent on 29th April this year, the Act will amend the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 and aims to make it clearer where responsibility for fire safety lies. The new laws apply to buildings containing more than one home that are more than 18 metres or six/seven stories in height and seeks to respond to the outcomes of the Hackitt Review. The Fire Safety Act 2021 clarifies that the responsible person or duty holder for multi-occupied, residential buildings must “manage and reduce the risk of fire” posed by the building’s structure, and most notably external wall systems, including windows and balconies, and individual occupants’ entrance doors. Under the clarification, fire and rescue services will be authorised to take enforcement action and hold building owners to account if they are not compliant. This latest law follows on from various action already taken designed towards strengthening the whole regulatory system for building safety, including new sprinkler requirements and the forthcoming Building Safety Bill which was presented to Parliament on 5 July 2021. John O’Sullivan MBE, Technical Director – Fire Consultancy at Bureau Veritas, states: “The approval of the Fire Safety Act marks a significant step in the right direction to mitigate the fire risk in relation to life safety and building safety and is one of the biggest outcomes of the Grenfell Inquiry to date. The government is expected to release further guidance on the Act later this year, as there is further consultation currently taking place in relation to the stay put policy and evacuation procedures for high rise residential properties. “Therefore, we would encourage any landlord or duty holder to take stock of the new changes already in place and review its current fire risk assessments policies. The Fire Safety Act potentially poses new challenges for duty holders, with the inclusion of the building structure, external walls, balconies and windows now forming part of a fire risk assessment process, and with the onus now firmly placed on duty holders to get it right, its essential these are done properly.” The Fire Safety Act also provides a foundation for secondary legislation to take forward recommendations from the Grenfell Tower Inquiry phase one report, including lift inspections, reviewing evacuation plans and fire safety instruction for residents. The upcoming Building Safety Bill, which was placed before parliament on 5 July 2021, and is expected to be passed into law by 2022, this is likely to include parts of phase two recommendations of the Grenfell Inquiry that will enact a change in Building Regulations. John continues: “With these new changes enforced by the Fire Safety Act, and more updates to come in the near future, it may seem a daunting task for landlords or a residential buildings duty holders to keep on top of the regulations to ensure risk assessments are accurate. However, third party health and safety firms, like Bureau Veritas, are able to conduct compliant fire risk assessments and make recommendations for necessary changes to mitigate the risk to ensure homes remain safe.” Bureau Veritas offers a comprehensive range of fire and life safety consultancy services to suit all requirements, including fire risk assessment, fire engineering, building control and fire science. The testing, inspection and certification expert offers duty holders the unique opportunity to select the services they require to help improve fire safety management in their buildings, whilst benefitting from the cost-efficiencies of a combined service.   To stay up to date on the latest, trends, innovations, people news and company updates within the global fire market please register to receive our newsletter here.
