SUPDET presenters discuss Halon alternatives for U.S. Air Force

Presenters at today's Suppression, Detection and Signaling Research and Applications Conference (SUPDET) In Orlando highlighted how the U.S. Air Force has developed replacements for the fire suppression agent Halon 1301 to protect "hush houses," or jet engine noise suppressor systems.

The need to find an equivalency to Halon 1301 appears to be an environmental one--the agent is classified as an ozone-depleting substance. (The European Union discontinued use of Halon for noncritical applications in 2003.) SUPDET speakers Juan Font with the U.S. Air Force and William Meyring of 3M also outlined the steps taken to phase out the cleaning agent and develop alternative system solutions for the Air Force's critical facility. Read an overview of the presentation.

NFPA Diamond Codes : Creative Safety Supply Releases Free NFPA Safety Reference Sheet

In its effort to provide useful safety training to manufacturing plants, warehouses, and production facilities, Creative Safety Supply has designed a quick-reference guide that explains the NFPA standards and codes diamonds.

Lake Oswego, OR (PRWEB) June 20, 2012

Material handling and storage can be a very dangerous affair in industrial plants and production facilities. It is very important for workers to know the potential hazards inherent in some of the products used in the manufacturing process, and the National Fire Protection Association's codes printed on materials including: solvents, acids, and poisonous substances are often indecipherable in the field.

With this in mind, industrial supply company, CreativeSafetySupply.com, has released a free NFPA Quick-Reference Guide to help workers easily understand the severity of the materials with which they are working.

This guide can be printed and posted in places where employees can quickly access its easy to follow illustrations of NFPA standard pictograms and explanations of each quadrant of the diamond codes.
