Independent Fire Tests
All units have undergone stringent fire tests at the Warrington Fire Research Centre and meet the following legislation:
Health and Safety at Work Act
Conforms to Health and safety at work act 1974. Section 6 fire prevention
HTM83 Article/Fire prevention
Understanding the potential threat of fire and its consequences on a demanding healthcare environment, Wybone looked to design a product that provided the functionality expected from a waste management solution while embracing ‘Health Technical Memorandum 83’ legislation on fire prevention. Following the extensive testing with the Warrington Fire Research Centre the Wybone ‘Fire Retardant’ sackholder was developed, offering healthcare facilities the opportunity to safeguard against fire and its devastating effects.
