The HR Department has made a savings of about $45,000 by refurbishing and repainting defaced Fire Extinguishers and their Decals. In all, 75 each portable fire extinguishers have been refurbished to date and put back in use. Previously, faded and defaced portable fire extinguishers were scrapped and sold to scrap dealers.
The refurbishment comprised the following:
- Wire brushing and repainting of canisters and caps.
- Repainting of delivery hoses and nozzles
- Replacement of defaced decals with reflective ones
Congratulations to the HR Department for this laudable initiative and urge that they continue to look for other avenues to make some savings for the company.
