FANQUIP says that the safe operation of heating systems in flammable and noxious-free areas is being carried out with its electric heater fans in the mining industry.
With the petroleum, mining and energy industries, Occupational Health & Safety guidelines require not only the availability of employee shower blocks but also adequate heating to protect individual’s well being.
Therefore, electric heaters are suited as the danger of site gases makes flame-based gas heating highly problematic.
Fanquip says that with workplace authorities now viewing gas-powered heating units as generally unsafe in workplaces, Fanquip supply their electric units in either mobile or wall-mounted versions.
The supplier says that by obviating any dependency on combustible fuels, Fanquip electric heater fans will not create danger by leaking poisonous and flammable fuel near welding sparks, flame environments, high impact and friction operations, or in areas where personnel are abundant, as it has been known to inadvertently occur with gas fired systems.
The Fanquip electric fan heater range operates at a low noise level which makes communication in the workplace easier compared to the conditions under the roar generated by gas or diesel powered heaters. It also has no naked flame heat generation which all but eliminates the risks of burns or workplace fires.
