Fire protection for the healthcare industry

Could your healthcare facility handle a fire? How robust are your fire detection and protection systems? Is your evacuation plan capable of quickly and safely moving less mobile patients? Would your employees know exactly what to do in an emergency situation?

With delicate equipment and often immobile patients, fire protection solutions for the healthcare sector require both insight and technical knowledge. For over 120 years, Wormald have specialised in providing these solutions.

As one of the largest fire protection providers in Asia Pacific, we can provide devoted, specialist teams for design and installation, maintenance and technical support, as well as services ranging from engineering instruction to fire training and evacuation plans. We can custom design systems to meet your needs and budget or upgrade and refurbish your existing system.

Our team is skilled at undertaking large-scale installations in facilities like hospitals, that cannot afford interruption. Some of our advanced fire detection and suppression technology includes:

Portable Fire Equipment

A serviced and functional fire extinguisher or fire hose reel on hand during a fire can mean the difference between a minor incident and a overwhelming full scale fire. From portable fire extinguishers to suit all classes of fire and fire risk to fire proof safes, Wormald offers a huge range of top quality equipment that gives you a powerful first line of defence against fire.

Alarm and Evacuation Systems

Our MX™ TECHNOLOGY fire detection system provides very early detection of even slow smouldering fires and can be configured to detect carbon monoxide (CO), smoke and heat. Sensitive analytic tools mean early detection which is critical in a sensitive IT [healthcare?] environment.

SAPPHIRE™ Fire Suppression System

The SAPPHIRE™ fire suppression system is specifically designed for use in areas that house sensitive equipment that cannot be shut down. The SAPPHIRE™ agent does not conduct electricity, is non-corrosive, minimises the risk of damage to sensitive equipment, leaves no residue and requires no clean-up.

Inergen® Gaseous Systems

Inergen® Gaseous Systems are one of the most technically advanced fire suppression systems available.  Inergen® is completely safe to people, with no ill effects on anyone remaining in the protected area when released.  Its components are naturally occurring atmospheric gases, so there is also no negative impact on the environment. Inergen® is the fire suppression system of choice for areas that contain high value or mission critical assets.

Fire Safety Training

When there is little time to think, your staff must already know what to do – whether to attempt to extinguish the fire or to evacuate.  Wormald’s Fire and Emergency Training courses give your staff the skills and confidence to make a decision fast and act quickly in the event of a workplace fire.  Our training methods and procedures are customised to meet your requirements and we are proud of our reputation for excellent service, during and after the training to ensure you have exactly what you need.
