The inspection and installation of emergency lighting must meet several standards, specifically the NFC (National Fire Code NFC-6.7.1.1.1 – 1995 and NFC-6.5.1.1.1 – 2005) and CSC (Canadian Standards Association C282-05). Thus, we offer inspection and installation of emergency lighting to ensure they meet various standards.

Installation of Gas Detection System

 

The installation of a fixed gas-detection system is the optimal solution to protect your employees, and your customers from harmful gases that could be present inside your place of business. This system detects leaks or high levels of gases that are toxic for human beings. By installing this system, you will be taking the appropriate measures to avoid unnecessary, and sometimes fatal accidents.

The quality of compressed breathing air and related systems should be inspected every six months according to standards in CSA Z180.1-00 in order to avoid major damage to the quality of compressed breathing air. We offer you the necessary tests and analyses so that you can rest assured that the quality of compressed breathing air for your employees is comparable the good quality of outside air. Following these analyses, a certificate of conformity and an analysis report will be provided to you.

Evacuation Plan

 

An evacuation plan is a “floor or building plan that illustrates the necessary steps for the evacuation of persons, and on which First Response guidelines are found.” (Standard NFS 60-303)

 

Moreover, “plans posted should be up to date in case of modification.” We offer you on-site analysis of your data and design of your plan.

Clean Agent System (FM-200, NOVEC, ETC.)

 

Avoid data and production loss. These types of systems allow you to control fires while avoiding damage to equipment by fire or water following the activation of fire suppression systems. Your data is the heart of your business operations. These systems keep your equipment safe, such as making sure your servers are in good working condition. But most of all, they prevent damage to your data.

 

We offer inspection services and installation of Novec 1230 systems. Inspections are carried out according to NFC-2001 and NFC-72 standards.

We offer inspection services for building sprinklers as well as fire hoses. An inspection and an annual fluid change are required pursuant to NFC 25 standards to ensure proper functioning of the system. Inspection report and certificate of conformity provided.

Halon Recycling

 

SPI Health and Safety's Halon Group is a Canadian company dedicated to the recovery, reclamation and recycling of Halon 1211 and Halon 1301. The company operates on a national basis to recover Halon from all provinces and territories. Halon Resources Inc., as we were known up until January 1st, 1999, was registered in September 1996 to isolate the Halon recovery activity from the mainstream business of SPI Health and Safety. This structure was appropriate at the onset, since it provided the focus necessary to initiate an effective Halon recycling program. Once the program was established, for simplicity, we reverted to using our corporate name.

 

The formal certifications to recycle Halon in Canada were granted to SPI Health and Safety in February 1995 by the Underwriters’ Laboratories of Canada. SPI Health and Safety is approved to ULC Certification Category I (full servicing of Halon 1301 systems) which includes approval to ULC/ORD-C1058.5 (Halon Recovery and Reconditioning Equipment) and ULC/ORD-C1058.18 (The Servicing of Halon Extinguishing Systems). Although the individual provinces and territories have jurisdiction over environmental issues and have issued their own regulations, the Environment Canada Code of Practice on Halons (EPS 1/RA/3E – July 1996) provides the framework for our operational procedures. Following this Code of Practice allows us to be compliant with the individual provincial and territorial standards.

 

The Halon recycling facility is located in Thunder Bay, Ontario and has responsibility for the physical recovery and reclamation of Halon 1211 and Halon 1301.

 

Should you have Halon 1211 and/or 1301 systems in use or in storage, with a requirement to have these systems decomissioned, please don't hesitate to call our Thunder Bay Office.
