Halfway through a hot work permit job and you realise there's no fire blanket on hand. That's the kind of gap these safety products are designed to fill. Whether you're a facilities manager, plumber running torches in tight spots, or a builder working near flammable materials, having the right safety gear isn't negotiable. Quell keeps you compliant and covered when things heat up.
The range covers the essentials: fire blankets for smothering small fires or shielding materials during welding, extinguishers rated for multiple fire classes, and carbon monoxide detectors that alert you to dangerous gas levels before they become a problem. These aren't tools you hope to use, but you'll want them within reach when you need them.
Fire blankets are compact enough to mount near workbenches or in utes, while the extinguishers come in sizes suited to everything from small workshops to larger commercial fit-outs. Carbon monoxide detectors are especially useful for trades working in confined spaces, basements, or anywhere combustion appliances are running.
We stock the full range across our Tool Kit Depot locations, so you can grab what you need before heading to site.

Quell Products FAQ
What size fire blanket do I need?
For most trade and workshop applications, a 1.2m x 1.2m fire blanket handles small fires, burning clothing, or shielding during welding. Larger blankets around 1.8m x 1.8m suit kitchens, workshops with bigger benches, or areas where you need more coverage. If you're working in commercial settings or around high-risk materials, go bigger; it's better to have extra coverage than not enough when flames kick off.
How often should I replace a carbon monoxide detector?
Most carbon monoxide detectors have a lifespan of five to seven years, after which the sensors lose accuracy and need replacing. Check the manufacturer's date stamp on your unit and set a reminder to swap it before it expires. For trades working regularly in enclosed spaces or near combustion equipment, test the detector monthly and replace batteries as needed. A flat battery won't warn you when CO levels spike.
What type of fire extinguisher should I have on site?
For most building sites and workshops, a 2.5kg ABE dry powder extinguisher covers the common bases:
Class A: Wood, paper, textiles
Class B: Flammable liquids like petrol, oils
Class E: Electrical fires
If you're working around cooking equipment or in commercial kitchens, add a wet chemical extinguisher rated for Class F fires. Keep extinguishers accessible, clearly marked, and serviced annually to stay compliant.
Can I reuse a fire blanket after use?
No, fire blankets are single-use only. Once deployed on flames or exposed to high heat, the blanket's fire-resistant coating degrades and loses effectiveness. After any use, even if it looks intact, replace it immediately. Keep a spare on hand so you're not caught short if the first one gets used during an emergency.
Where should I mount a fire extinguisher?
Mount extinguishers near exits, high-risk areas like welding bays or fuel storage, and within easy reach, not buried behind materials or gear. The handle should sit between 900mm and 1200mm off the ground, and the unit needs clear signage above it so anyone on site can find it fast. Check your local fire safety regulations for spacing requirements, especially on commercial jobs.
