Fire Protection for Toasters in the Office Kitchen: Comply with Regulations

In vielen Büroküchen gibt es Elektrogeräte, die den Mitarbeitern zur Verfügung stehen, so zum Beispiel Kaffeemaschinen, Wasserkocher oder auch Toaster.

These devices contribute to office satisfaction, allowing employees to quickly prepare a cup of coffee or a small meal.

What is often overlooked in some companies when installing such devices, however, is the fact that this can have implications for fire protection in businesses. This is particularly true because such devices (due to their built-in heating elements) pose a fire hazard. In the event of a technical defect, such devices can catch fire and should therefore always be placed on a fire-resistant surface. Such a base is an effective and inexpensive means of fire protection in the office.

The necessity of using such fire-resistant bases arises from the applicable fire protection regulations.

Fire Protection for Toasters: Practical Solutions

Generally, you should acquire a fire-resistant base for all electrical appliances in the office kitchen. This base should be appropriately sized for the respective appliance and TÜV-certified for use. Furthermore, the base itself should not pose an accident risk (for example, tiles or stone slabs can fall and injure people).

A recommended option, for example, is the FireMat. The FireMat cloth is made of Aramid fibers and does not burn. The cloths are excellent as a base for electrical appliances in your office kitchen, as fire protection for toasters or similar devices is important and must always be observed.
