Benfield Fire Safety is investing in green technology and changing its fleet of vehicles over to electric. We are offering digital simulation fire safety training to help clients meet their net zero targets.
The UK government wants businesses to play its role in investing in green technology and reducing net greenhouse gas emissions by at least 100% by 2050, compared to 1990 levels.
How Benfield Fire Safety is Investing in Green Technology
Benfield Fire Safety is investing in green technology and is now on the road with its first fully electric van, and it has another on order to be received in June. The new van purchases are supported by a government grant, and they will be used to deliver fire safety training across the region.
This is ideal for customers who are striving to start investing in green technology and reduce their carbon footprint, Benfield Fire Safety can attend their premises in an electric van and, thanks to its digital simulation equipment – the fire safety training can also be environmentally friendly.
The digital fire extinguisher training offers a clean alternative to the traditional gas rig and provides a thorough understanding of the practical use of fire extinguishers in an emergency. During this training, participants use laser guided fire extinguishers and wear smoke goggles to tackle a simulated fire.
“We’re pleased to offer a greener alternative for businesses committed to net zero,” said Jason Sugden, Managing Director of Benfield Fire Safety.
“The purchase of the electric vehicles is an important addition. It’s a challenge as a small business to make large capital investments, however we are committed to our environmental targets and want to better support our customers who are on the same journey as us.
“We need to think big to tackle climate change and the impact it will have on the next generation. We simply can’t do nothing.”
The digital fire simulator equipment is also available for hire – contact Benfield Fire Safety for more details.
