Introduction Tyco Fire & Integrated Solutions provide a comprehensive range of high quality, cost-effective fire extinguishers, hose reels, stands and cabinets that are designed and produced to the latest Fire Authority standards.
Tyco Fire & Integrated Solutions take our social responsibilities very seriously and we are doing our best to care for the world we live in. As you are probably aware, recent changes in legislation now prevent the disposal of foam (AFFF) through water drainage systems.
This is because chemical elements present in the foam do not break down. These chemical elements can find their way into the ground water systems. The pollution created has even been detected in drinking water supplies (visit www.environment-agency.gov.uk for details). Where there is no Class B risk present, we will install water based extinguishers to lessen the impact of AFFF on the environment.
Equally, it is vital that powder used in some extinguishers is disposed of through certified agencies to prevent environmental contamination. We are committed to assisting our customers to reduce the impact of meeting these legal requirements and make them as painless as possible.
