The Function Of Drones For Firefighting Team

When a fire occurs, Drones can be used by Firefighter Teams to:

- Reach difficult & dangerous areas
- Provide live fire information from the fire location (hotspots & escape routes), so the team can assess the situation from a safe distance
- Detect hazardous objects, heat signatures & hidden locations inside buildings
- Create detailed maps of the fire area
- Detect fire developments
- Extinguish fires by carrying small payloads of water
- Deliver Fire Extinguishers
- Find victims in need of help in smoke-filled areas & dangerous areas
- Guide the team to locations in need of help
- Monitor places where fires may reignite
- Observe damage
- Assist communication & coordination between team members & between teams
- Protect the team from hazardous environments

Drones are the "Eyes & Muscles" of Firefighters!

Use Drones to help you & your company!

H2S

If you work in the Oil & Gas Industry & other industries that have low-lying areas & confined spaces, get ready to meet the most flammable & toxic gas called Hydrogen Sulfide or H2S!

H2S can disturb your work, make you feel sick & kill you!

H2S can cause:
- Irritation of eyes, nose & throat
- Cough, dizziness & nausea
- Severe respiratory problems & loss of coordination
- Loss of sense of smell so that H2S cannot be detected
- Loss of consciousness, respiratory failure & death
- Fire & explosion
- Damage to metal & iron
- Environmental damage

Equipment that needs to be used:
- H2S detector
- Adequate ventilation
- PPE

Knowledge: OEL (Occupational Exposure Limit) & WEL (Workplace Exposure Limit) are terms used to determine the maximum limit / size of substances, including H2S, that are permitted in the workplace to protect the health of workers.

You need to be aware of the hazards & risks associated with H2S. The most important thing is that you must know how to react to H2S!

Get the right knowledge & skills, so emergencies can be avoided & handled properly!
