Don’t let your business come under fire

The Occupational Health and Safety Act requires property owners to comply with fire safety regulations by implementing appropriate fire safety measures and providing necessary equipment to protect both lives and property. For businesses who are serious about fire protection, high quality, dependable fire tanks are essential. Compliance with SANS 10400-T fire safety standards is mandatory. Inadequate fire protection in this regard may result in a fire-related insurance claim being rejected. It is thus essential to ensure that the fire-fighting equipment meet all required standards, rules and regulations for fire safety.

There are bodies such as Automated Sprinkler Inspection Bureau (ASIB) who provide lists of respected suppliers, and the Fire Protection Association of South Africa (FPASA), which provides specialised fire safety management technical and training service to industry, commerce and society at large.
