Environmental

Blackwood Fire recognises that being kind to the environment is not just restricted to the householder, but affects everybody including industry and commerce. Blackwood Fire has been established in the business of Fire Protection since 1983, supplying and maintaining fire extinguishers throughout Wales and the West Country. The maintenance side of the business does, unavoidably, generate waste e.g. Powder, Foam, Metals, Plastics and Cardboard.

We realise that there is a potential threat to the environment if the waste is not disposed of correctly, and in 1999 we embarked on a programme, to be (we believe) the first Fire Protection Company in Wales and possibly the U.K., to meet the requirements of the BS EN ISO 14001:1996 Standard. On the 20th March 2000 we were awarded Certification for Environmental Management. All waste is disposed of under stringent control processes and where possible waste is recycled.

We believe that to maintain our position in the Fire Protection Industry we must continue to search out new and cost effective procedures and methods to offer to you, our customer, the very best service available, and by attaining this Award demonstrates our commitment to you and the environment we all share.
