Thanks to good and fast communication, Van der Burg and HooVos can mean a lot to each other. We have a nice collaboration!

We (Inkoper MKB; translates to: Buyer Small and Medium-sized Enterprises, SMEs) have been working with HooVos for several years now. As a purchasing organization, we are always looking for reliable partners and HooVos is one of them.

As a buyers collective with a strong focus on the automotive industry, we have high safety requirements. This includes the inspection and maintenance of our extinguishing agents.

The maintenance we carry out doesn’t stop at the municipal office but goes much further: we maintain all municipal buildings.

This means that the municipality is a client who offers us a lot of variety in terms of work and we are proud of that!

HooVos keeps your first aid kit(s) up to date

Many dressing materials have an expiration date. Bandages are regularly used, which means the first aid kit is no longer complete. This can lead to unpleasant situations if the thing you need after an accident is missing. That is why it is important to check your materials annually. HooVos is happy to take care of this for you; we can check the completeness and shelf life of the content in your first aid kit(s).

A fire blanket to avoid worse

Fire blankets have the purpose of stopping the oxygen supply to a fire. By covering the seat of the fire with a fire blanket, oxygen can no longer reach the fire, and the fire will go out. A HooVos fire blanket is made of non-flammable or poorly flammable material (fiberglass, impregnated wool or other non-flammable materials) and often hangs on the wall in a red package. HooVos supplies fire blankets in various sizes; generlaly, they are available directly from stock.

Frequently asked questions

Is an icon sign mandatory?

The location of an extinguishing agent must be marked in accordance with NEN 4001-3011. If necessary, the location of the extinguishing agent should be indicated with additional signs. For example, consider an icon in combination with an arrow for the direction. You must keep an overview of the types, number and locations of the extinguishing agents.

Which fire extinguisher do I need for which room?

In general, we recommend foam extinguishers, because they cause the least collateral damage. Our foam extinguishers can extinguish up to 1,000 V and can also be used on, for example, normal-sized meter boxes.

In addition, powder extinguishers are mainly recommended for hazardous substances. Carbon dioxide snow extinguishers no longer fall under the basic extinguishing agents and can be used extra for, for example, a server room.

When is emergency lighting mandatory?

A building has such a lighting installation that it can be used and left safely. Obligation to provide emergency lighting is determined by the functional use of a building. This is indicated by a table in the Building Decree.

Feel free to call us for additional information!

How long does an AED last?

We advise our customers to replace the AED after the manufacturer’s warranty has expired. The manufacturer’s warranty can differ per brand, but on average this is 8 years. We are not saying that the AED will no longer work after the manufacturer’s warranty has expired, but ‘assuming’ that the AED works in the event of an incident is too great a risk!

How does HooVos optimally unburden?

Our planning will contact you annually to agree a date for maintenance. So you never have to think about the safety of your home or business again. If a technician sees a change in your situation, he will give you advice about this during the time for maintenance. If you have any questions before, you can contact us. Our representative will then visit you without obligation.

Is HooVos a VCA certified company?

Yes, and it is also a recognized training company.

Is HooVos a recognized maintenance company?

Yes, this is especially important for insurance companies.

Does an extinguisher need to be maintained annually?

HooVos is a recognized fire protection company and must maintain the extinguishing equipment of their customers every year, so that they retain their recognition. Insurance companies sometimes want to deviate from this, but this depends on the relevant risk. If you also want to have the maintenance carried out once every two years, make sure that you receive this ‘in black and white’ from the insurance company, so that you will be paid by them in the event of an incident.
