1. FIRE PROTECTION ENGINEERING SERVICES

As a licensed distributor of Angus/Kidde Fire UK, SRI Malaysia and Allstar Fire

USA, we can competently offer the design, specification (using licensed software),

installation and maintenance services for the listed:

i. Fire Detection & Alarm Systems:

We are specialists in fire detection & alarm systems for low, medium and high-risk

applications. Effective fire detection can prevent the disastrous and destructive

consequences of fire on people, objects and the environment. Good-quality detection

equipment is essential for early detection and subsequent sounding of the alarm. Every

company is unique, but GWORLD GHANA LIMITED has a fire protection solution for

every object in any sector.

Our high-quality detection equipment offers a comprehensive solution f or every

situation. In addition to detecting smoke and/or fire, a fire alarm system can also be

connected to tan extinguishing system or an evacuation alarm system.

ii. Sprinkler Systems:

Sprinkler systems are the most commonly applied automatic fire extinguishing systems,

because of their straightforward and effective functioning. A sprinkler system consists

of a water supply, alarm valves and a network of pipes with sprinklers installed

throughout the building. A sprinkler control unit monitors the system, which is

activated when a specific temperature is reached, causing water to be sprayed over

the fire.

iii. Gaseous Fire Suppression Systems:

In situations where the use of water is not possible or desirable, a gas extinguishing

system is a good alternative. Thanks to many years of experience, GWORLD GHANA

LIMITED has become an expert and specialist in the field of stationary gas extinguishing

systems. We are at your service to help assess the specific situation at your company,

in order to develop a customised solution.

GWORLD GHANA LIMITED prefers to apply the so called ‘green’ extinguishing agents, as

these cause no environmental impact and has no harmful effects on human beings. Our

supply programme consists of: Argon, Nitrogen, Argonite and CO2. In addition, we

supply chemical extinguishing gases like FM200, FE25 and Novec 1230, which are also

applied as Halon replacements. Also available are vehicles and kitchen suppression

systems.

iv. Foam Products & Extinguishing System:

Foam extinguishing systems are often applied in high-risk objects. The highly specific

and unique properties of extinguishing foam make it an extremely effective fire

fighting agent. For the protection of e.g. chemical stores and aeroplane hangars, high-

expansion foam installations are applied, while low-expansion foam installations are

used in the chemical and petrochemical industry. For the protection of production

halls, helicopter decks etc., foam water canons are used.

Research and development of extinguishing foams and the associated installations is a

major focus area at GWORLD. To carry out this work, we employ highly experienced

specialists. All the products in our comprehensive range of foam concentrates and

equipment have optimal extinguishing properties. They are moreover ecological and

have a long storage life.

v. Fire Extinguishers:

More than 85% of the fires in buildings can be put out successfully with a hand-held

extinguisher. Because of that f act, we focus a great deal of attention on the

reliability, ease of operation and extinguishing capacity of its fire extinguishers.

GWORLD has a full range of hand held and mobile fir e extinguishers of various

types: foam, powder and CO2 extinguishers.

4. FIRE CONSULTANCY SERVICES

Risks are part of our daily lives. Running a business is not possible without taking risks.

But these risks must be acceptable and aimed at ensuring the continuity of the

company. GWORLD Consultancy can offer your company support in the identification

of hazards and the quantification of these hazards in terms of risks. Measures to

reduce the risks can then be determined, based on the nature and extent of the

analysed risks.

Comprehensive fire protection begins in the design phase. Before the construction

process commences, it is vital that consideration is given to fire protection and the

risks that could endanger the continuity of the company. Our consultancy division

gladly provides excellent advice on fire protection.

The systems and equipment recommended by GWORLD comply with all statutory

regulations and standards; the same applies to the management and maintenance per

formed by us. Market demands and regulations with regard to fire protection are

constantly changing. In anticipation thereof GWORLD personnel undergo constant

further training.

5. EMERGENCY EVACUATION & RESPONSE SYSTEMS

GWORLD GHANA range of High Rise Escape Systems and other emergency response

systems uses a Controlled Descent Device (CDD) that adjusts to the user’s weight and

lets them descent at a rate of approximately 1 to 1.5 metres per second.

The CDD is attached to a wall-mounted boom (floor fixture also available). A special

wire rope is threaded through the CDD and at both ends of the rope is a flame proof,

patented escape suit. The user merely has to swing the boom over the point of egress

(window/balcony), get inside the Evac Suit (pictured below) and step off the ledge to

safety.

When the user reaches the ground, the other end of the wire rope (and thus the other

Evac Suit) is at the top, ready for the next user to come down. For example one

system on the 10th floor can safely evacuate 30 people in 8 minutes.

2. Instruments:

Gas detection instruments are used to determine the presence of toxic or

combustible gas in an atmosphere. Portable detectors can be worn by a user for

constant personal monitoring or can be used to detect a specific area for the

presence of toxic gas. Fixed system gas detectors are positioned in a permanent

location for constant monitoring of a particular area in a manufacturing facility or

processing operation, such as waste/water treatment, semiconductor

manufacturing, chemical and petroleum operations, pulp and paper plants, and

power utilities.

Fixed Systems

Detection systems that are integrated into a building’s operations are

called fixed and provide a constant monitoring and early detection

system for potentially harzardous operations of a facility. These

systems consist of a single or multi-point transmitter and a receiver

that continuously monitor for combustible or toxic gases, or the

presence of flame.

Portable Instruments

Compact gas monitors that measure gas levels to alarm when dangerous

conditions exist so that a user knows if the environment is IDLH or

when personal protective equipment is needed.




Fixed Systems

Fixed gas monitors stand guard over any location where toxic or combustible gases

or flame may become a hazard to personnel and property. In potentially hazardous

locations, gas monitors and transmitters continuously keep people and investments

safe from harm.

Toxic Transmitters

Stationary instruments that measure the level of toxic gases to protect

personnel from unseen gases. Transmitters may work alone or in

conjunction with a series of other instruments to protect entire areas

of a facility.

Combustible Transmitters

Stationary instruments used to detect the presence of combustible

gases quickly to minimize explosive hazards.

Flame Transmitters

Detectors that monitor a wide area to identify flames early in order to

protect personnel and property by providing warnings, alarms and

triggering automatic deluge systems.

Receivers

Receivers accept input from 1 to 32 sensors or transmitters. These

receivers provide a central location for monitoring and typically include

relay contacts to provide warnings to personnel.

Monitors

Monitors are a complete gas detection system composed of sensors,

transmitters, and a receiver in one package.

12




Sensor Technology

All transmitters use different technology to detect specific hazards includes toxic, combustible or flame.

Portable

Detecting and analyzing an unseen threat can prevent serious injury. But doing it instantly can save lives. Scott Health & Safety portable instruments are designed to reliably sense the presence and levels of harmful gases, clearly display the information, and let you do your job safely and efficiently.

Scott’s Proton® series of single gas monitors (Proton and ProtonZM) are ideal for personal worker protection in virtually any industrial application requiring gas detection.

3. BREATHING APARATUS

Supplied Air

Supplied air (or air supplied) refers to respirators that provide the user with clean, breathable air from a self-contained source, such as a cylinder, or via an airline from a source outside the contaminated atmosphere. Supplied air respirators are used in atmospheres that are determined to be IDLH or Immediately Dangerous to Life and Health. These NFPA and/or NIOSH-approved respirators are used in a myriad of applications by firefighters, industrial workers, first responders, and military personnel.

SCBA

A self-contained breathing apparatus or SCBA is a device worn by rescue workers, firefighters, and others to provide portable, breathable air in a hostile, IDHL-environment. An SCBA can be either an open or closed circuit.

Airline

An airline respirator provides a continuous supply of air to the user via a hose connected to stationary source of breathable air. Some airline respirators also integrate a small cylinder of compressed air into the system for emergency escape from a dangerous environment in case the airline hose is blocked or severed.

14




Escape

Escape respirators are designed for use only to egress from hazardous atmospheres within 5, 10 or 15 minutes. Some escape respirators are used in conjunction with an airline to provide a small source of air in emergencies where an airline air source is severed.

Air Sources

External sources of air utilize compressed air cylinder(s) to provide an external source of air to the wearer of supplied air respirators. Air sources can be fixed stationary units or mobile for use on remote locations or in confined spaces with an SCBA or airline respirators.
