FIRE SAFETY EQUIPMENT INSPECT & TEST
Inspection, service and maintenance of fire protection equipment is carried out in accordance with a variety of Australian Standards, to ensure the fire safety systems and equipment are installed in your building, business and plant are functioning as designed. The routine inspection intervals of fire safety systems and equipment generally include monthly, six monthly and annual in most cases. The most common types of equipment, including portable fire extinguishers, fire hose reels, exit signs and emergency lights require six monthly inspections. Whereas fire sprinkler & detection systems are tested monthly.
Most inspection and testing is carried to ensure building occupants are safe, the asset is protected and a annual fire safety statement can be issued upon successful inspection.
