A Fire Protection Sleeve Can Save In So Many Ways

February 24, 2025

As one of the leading safety products on the market, British made fire protection sleeve, exclusively supplied in the US by National Firesleeve, deliver savings in so many different ways.

Saving injuries and even lives

By protecting your operators from harm from the equipment they are using, you can prevent your company from joining the thousands of workplace injuries and hundreds of avoidable deaths that occur across all industries every year. Our Fire protection sleeve protects people from burns and other heat related injuries, and it can also prevent electric shocks from shorts and arcing, while hose burst sleeving avoids serious scalding from burst pipes and hoses, as well as life-threatening piercing injuries from pinhole bursts.

Saving damage to equipment

What begins as a simple burst hydraulic hose can lead to a complex failure of the whole system, which costs far more to repair than fixing the ruptured hose. Similarly, electrical failures in a single wire can lead to arcing and short circuits, which in turn cause extensive damage to circuit boards and other parts of the control systems. By using a fire protection sleeve to insulate individual cables and wires, pipes and hoses from damage, you provide critical protection for your equipment as a whole.

Saving downtime and production losses

Any shutdown following an accident will inevitably cost more than just the price of repairs. You also have to factor in the loss of production, while often still having to pay your workforce. If you miss delivery deadlines, you could face further financial penalties, and letting down your customers can often have long-reaching effects on your reputation and your order book. A fire protection sleeve works hard to keep your production lines running so you can keep your promises to your customers.

Saving on insurance premiums

In addition to the direct costs of an accident, you also need to factor in the increase in your insurance premiums that this type of incident can bring. Insurance is already a major cost for many businesses, especially those where the workforce are dealing with hazardous equipment. If you cannot prove your safety record, then these costs will only rise. A fire protection sleeve will help you maintain your premises as a safe workplace, where both people and equipment are properly protected. 

Saving on wait times
