Fire Extinguisher - Repair mounting in lazarette #620

Open smr547 opened 1 year ago

smr547 commented 1 year ago

@pauljones17 reports

The fire extinguisher in the Lazarette has detached from its stowage and is not secured in the locker.  
The screws in the extinguisher bracket are dangerous.

Working bee task

The fire extinguisher mounting screws have pulled out of the fibreglass hatch due to weight and continual slamming/shutting of the door. Placement is not supported. Recommend relocation to under the cockpit console to alleviate ongoing issues. Also may address safety concern with access to lazzarette when jack stays installed.

Hi Paul B,

I agree, the extinguisher is way too heavy to be mounted under the lazarette locker cover. The mounting supports and structural strength of the lazarette cover are both grossly inadequate to withstand the impulsive forces generated by slamming of the lazarette cover.

I like the idea of mounting permanently under the cockpit console/table. It will be

Its exact location will need to be labelled and discussed in each crew safety briefing.

@pauljones17 and @mgrybaitis may have an opinion on this.

Thank you, Paul. Problem with access to lazarette will likely remain while flares and bolt cutters are stowed there.

Regards Paul

Certainly not a full solution to the lazarette access problem

Thank you, Steven.

Suggest fire extinguisher needs a sheltered location, protected from the elements. Inside a cockpit locker would seem ideal, except that real estate there is already at a premium - even before the new diesel bladder is installed. Could a wooden pad be installed under the lazarette hatch to give the screws something to bite into? I’m imagining pads like we installed on Namadgi II to mount saddles to secure the anchor.

Paul

This is the same as Issue #607. Recommend incorporation and closure of one.

pcbaston commented 1 year ago

Issue #607 has been CLOSED.

Revisiting this issue, I agree with Paul that best option will be to epoxy a wooden slab (or perhaps metal or fibreglass) onto the underside of the hatch with nuts embedded, so that bolts can be used to secure fire extinguisher clamps. Educate people NOT to allow hatch to slam shut! The person in Opua who repaired the pedestal may be interested!
