What fire protection needs do warehouse mezzanine floors need to meet

The warehouse mezzanine floor is the construction of an intermediate mezzanine floor on an existing workplace or warehouse rack to increase storage space. It can be used as a second or third-floor mezzanine floor and is suitable for storing some light foam and small and medium-sized goods. It is suitable for multi-variety large batch or multi variety small batch goods. Manual storage of goods is usually carried to the second or third floor by forklifts, hydraulic lifting platforms, or cargo elevators, and then transported to a certain location by light trucks or hydraulic pallet trucks. Because the storage in the warehouse is filled with flammable materials, the mezzanine floors must meet fire protection requirements.

Fire protection requirements for warehouse mezzanine floors

1. The basic fire protection layout of a warehouse mezzanine floor is to have a sufficiently wide fire passage. Firstly, it is necessary to ensure that people can quickly find the fire passage, and secondly, it is necessary to transport goods;

2. Firefighting equipment should be placed in a prominent position. For warehouses with an area of less than 500 square meters, at least 2 fire extinguishers are required. If the area increases, the number of fire extinguishers will naturally increase;

3. Post obvious signs in prominent locations, such as warehouse areas and no smoking or fireworks, to remind everyone;

4. Regularly arrange fire safety knowledge training for warehouse management personnel to ensure that everyone can use fire extinguishing equipment and know how to self-rescue in case of accidents;

Finally, there is the issue of material selection for mezzanine floors. Everyone knows that wood is flammable and poses certain risks to fire safety. Although its cost is relatively cheap, steel gussets are still preferred for the safety of one's own warehouse. Firstly, it is fireproof, and secondly, it has a long service life. Overall, the cost-effectiveness is also higher, which can eliminate certain safety hazards.
