Can cables prevent death?
According to the company that makes these kinds of electrical components and circuit breakers there is a way that cabling can help to save lives.
If a fire does actually occur in a office it could be life threatening to a number of staff members. Most of the time it is actually an electrical fault that is no-ones fault that is the root of the problem so do not put anyone to blame. The worst situation possible is if the fire was to break out when there are many people still inside the office?
Nine times out of ten it is not the fire that kills people within the office but the smoke. Normal smoke can of course kill you if you inhale a lot of it but what happens when the fire burns through cabling? When the fire burns through the cables it will start to burn the plastic which can then release deadly gases that could kill. The two gases that are usually released are Hydrogen fluoride and hydrogen chloride. If you are really unlucky this chloride will mix with water and form acid which is very deadly indeed.
You can actually help this problem? Well now you can purchase “low smoke†cabling that can reduce damage to electrical things and help to stop people from dying from these nasty chemicals that are released normally.
There are many other ways that you can battle smoke problems, many types of fan accessories can be bought that will actually help fan out the smoke if there is a fire almost taking the smoke out of the room and pumping in fresh air to help take out any deadly smoke that could be in the room.
It is always a good idea to take precautions if you are running a business as it could cost you a lot of money if not the enitire business if something does happen. Whatever you do, make sure you do not put blame on someone, if it is someones fault they will already be suffering.
