Protecting Yourself in Dusty or Hazardous Industrial Environments In many industrial settings, the air is often filled with dust and harmful substances, posing significant health risks to workers. Ensuring personal protection in such environments is paramount. The most effective and convenient way to protect yourself is by wearing respiratory protective equipment. Why Respiratory Protective Equipment is Essential Respiratory protective equipment (RPE) serves as a barrier against inhaling dangerous substances present in the air, such as dust, fumes, and chemical vapors. These substances can cause serious health issues, ranging from respiratory problems to chronic diseases. By using the appropriate RPE, you not only protect your own health but also ensure that you remain safe for your family and loved ones. Disposable Masks: Ideal for environments with low to moderate levels of dust and particulate matter. They are easy to use and dispose of, making them convenient for short-term use. Pr...

 This year, just like last year, I had the opportunity to visit the Daegu International Fire & Safety Expo, which was held successfully once again.  The event, which saw a record-breaking scale this year, featured 389 exhibitors and 1,397 booths covering an area of 30,000 square meters, an increase from last year’s 378 exhibitors. Celebrating its 20th anniversary, the Fire Safety Expo has a significant reason for being held in Daegu.  Do you know why? The International Fire Safety Expo began in 2004, a year after the tragic Daegu subway fire disaster in 2003, to enhance public safety awareness and foster the growth and development of the domestic fire industry.  It’s a highly beneficial event that introduces new firefighting equipment and cutting-edge technologies each year, ranking among the top five specialized fire safety expos in the world. Inside the exhibition hall, several ambulances with flashing lights and fire trucks extending ladders up to 47 meters hi...

 With the amendment of the Fire Safety Act in 2023 in Korea, the mandatory installation of fire extinguishers for vehicles has been expanded from 7-seats to 5-seats and above. Even though it's not legally required, considering the increasing number of fire incidents due to the proliferation of equipment in vehicles, it's highly recommended to install adequate fire extinguishers for the safety of drivers and passengers in case of a fire. Vehicle fires mostly occur during driving, and it's crucial to suppress them early, especially considering various fuels and oils that can ignite. Particularly on highways or remote roads far from fire stations, the necessity of vehicle fire extinguishers for early suppression is significant. The performance of fire extinguishers is regulated per unit of 0.7kg capacity. For vehicles with 5 seats or more and compact (less than 1000cc) passenger cars, one unit of 1kg fire extinguisher is required, while for passenger cars with up to 15 seats, ...

You may think it's unlikely for a fire to break out in an apartment, various unexpected incidents such as depression, dementia, and arson can occur.  Even if I am not the cause of them, it's unpredictable what might happen in shared housing, like condominiums. Once you experience a fire situation in a high-rise building, you understand why people suffocate from smoke.  Thinking, 'Just evacuate, right?' may lead to confusion when the situation actually arises.  In the case of a fire, smoke rises through corridors and elevators, blocking escape routes. And what you will see would be totally different with normal vision.  Although you probably have a fire extinguisher at home, it's not enough.  Due to dense smoke, you may not be able to approach the fire, especially if it involves materials like Styrofoam, emitting toxic gas, making it difficult to use a fire extinguisher. Therefore, the best approach is for adults to handle the initial firefighting while others, i...

    The battery of electric vehicle is a combination of about 300pieces battery cells, and when one of the pieces catches fire, a ‘thermal runaway phenomenon’ occurs in which the fire spreads to surrounding pieces in succession. the fire will not be extinguished until the battery is completely combusted.     Currently, if an electric vehicle fire accident occurs, the vehicle body must be submerged in a water tank filled with water and wait for the fire to be extinguished.  Just pouring water would take a lot of time and very large amount of water.   Most of the electric vehicle fire cases occur during the charging process, and if an accident occurs in a parking lot inside a building, especially in the basement, it is difficult and time-consuming to place the vehicle in a flood tank, which is highly likely to lead to a 2nd fire and large-scale fire accident.   With significantly increasing EV vehicle, the charging stations in parking lots is als...
