Extinguishers

Critical Equipment… Until the Day You Really Need It

Fire extinguishers are everywhere on a nuclear site.
And yet, no one ever knows exactly how many there are, where they are, or what condition they are in:

• Follow-up during site work is inconsistent
• Periodic checks forgotten or unrecorded
• Fragmented inventories across multiple contractors
• Non-compliant or missing extinguishers
• No proof of compliance during inspections

Result: audit discrepancies, wasted time, and real safety risks if a fire breaks out.

Frequent field problems

• No complete inventory: each service keeps its own, often outdated, list
• Difficulty locating extinguishers precisely by building or zone
• Checks done but not logged (paper stamps, loose sheets)
• Extinguishers moved, stored, or relocated without record updates
• Risk of non-compliance (expired charge, wrong extinguishing agent, etc.)
• No proof of compliance during safety or fire audits

How BROLZ helps

BROLZ makes every extinguisher traceable, visible, and part of a structured compliance process.

Key features:

• Complete digital inventory with geolocation (building, zone, map)
• Individual record per extinguisher with:
  • Manufacture date
  • Commissioning date
  • Last inspection date
  • Extinguishing agent type
  • Assigned site / fixed / stock
• QR code on each extinguisher for instant field consultation
• Automatic alerts for periodic checks
• Tracking of relocations and anomalies (e.g., extinguisher missing from a mandatory location)
• Shared access for all stakeholders (site teams, service providers, subcontractors)

What changes in practice

• Zero audit stress: full history accessible in a few clicks
• Park management without duplicates, losses, or non-compliances
• Easy anomaly reporting from the field
• Dynamic tracking during projects: know who moved what, and where it must return
• Documentation accessible to all: manuals, inspection reports, certificates
