Stun guns are a direct contact device that emits a high pulse frequency to restrict movement. They release about 1,200 volts. The shock can only be applied at close range, but it can be used multiple times. You can also signal to an attacker that you are armed with a “shock test”, where you press the stun button on the stun gun and show the electricity arc across the two metal probes on the front of the stun gun.  This is a very effective way to deter an attacker.

Above every fire extinguisher, there should be either a square or rectangle sign that features a description of the type of extinguisher below it and its uses. Fire extinguisher ID signs are often found in different colours, usually varying from white, red and green. However, unless you have a chrome extinguisher, the background of the sign would be chrome instead of white. You may be wondering why each sign has the type of extinguisher on it but in a different colour. Well, all fire extinguishers are colour coded in order to help quickly identify it. This is the same as the ID sign, whatever fire extinguisher it is for, it will represent the correct colour. You can find these ID signs either fixed to the wall, attached to an extinguisher stand or just the extinguisher itself.

The price range for tasers and stun guns are drastically different. A Mace® Brand stun gun is typically less than $50, while a taser is close to $300 depending on the brand of choice.

It’s smart to take steps to feel more safe, secure and ready for what lies ahead. That’s our hope for every customer who carries Mace® Brand products.

The purpose of fire extinguisher signs is to show identification to the extinguisher below it and to give clear, written instructions, detailing which class of fire is suitable and not suitable for. This ensures that the person who uses the fire extinguisher in an emergency knows the correct one to use just by looking at the identification sign. If the wrong extinguisher is used for the wrong type of fire, this can be life-threatening.

The ID sign isn’t legally required, however, the fire extinguisher symbol itself is required to be displayed at all fire safety points so that people are aware of where the extinguishers are. These signs can display this as well as safety instructions. Although it is not compulsory, it is important to have them around your building near all fire extinguishers in case a staff member or a visitor gets injured at your workplace. This then allows them to file a lawsuit, resulting in the possible outcome of your business getting sued as you have not complied with the Use of Work Equipment Regulations 1998.

We at Total Safe often get asked what purposes do fire extinguisher ID signs serve and what they consist of. Well, these are signs that show immediate identification of extinguishers. Not only this but it also gives safety information that states what type of fires it should/should not be used for. Although fire extinguisher ID signs are not mandatory for a business, the presence of them on your premises has multiple advantages. Later on in this article, the advantages will be further explained.

The Health and Safety (Safety Signs and Signals) Regulations 1996 states that safety signs and signals are required, despite putting in place all other relevant measures, a significant risk to the health and safety of employees and others remains. All signs must be clear and legible, however, using too many signs should be avoided as it could cause confusion.

Two of the most popular devices used for personal protection are stun guns and tasers. Both security products use an electric shock to ward off an attacker, but each has a specific purpose and application.

Tasers look like a gun since they have a barrel shape and a trigger. The taser shoots out electrical probes that reach targets at a distance of up to 15 feet. On average, a taser emits about 50,000 volts, which can affect muscle movement. A taser is a single shot device that requires skill and accuracy to use effectively.

The stun gun is convenient to carry around with you wherever you go, which is not the case with a Taser.  In addition, a Mace® Brand stun gun has security features that aren’t present in a taser device. The Mace® Brand stun gun has a bright LED light, a strobe light, and emits a loud spark sound, which as stated acts as a deterrent to potential attackers. A taser does not provide alternative security measures.

Some ID signs are also photoluminescent meaning that they glow in the dark. In event of a power outage or if it’s just at night, they can still be seen if an emergency occurs and the person is then able to identify which extinguisher to use.
