• Resumen

  • High value and safety critical industries such as aluminium are not strangers to risk. Fire is one such risk. And yet the fire safety is often negleced or misunderstood. Many in fire safety positions do not understand the physical properties of the fire extinguishing systems in place which are installed to put out fires once started. The gases contained in cylinders -the chemicals which put out the fire once the system has been activated- are also misunderstood. This article aims to close gaps in the knowledge about fire safety for those unaware about fixed fire extinguishing systems and to share innovative methods for inspection and continuous monitoring of these systems which even the most experienced may not yet know.
