Fire Risk Assessment & Design
Conduct fire risk assessment & classify building risks. Design sprinkler system per SANS 10287 requirements. Validate hydraulic calculations and zoning plans. Water Supply & Reticulation
Confirm water flows & pressure for hydrants, hose reels, sprinkler systems. Install fire tanks where municipal supply is inadequate. Keep water connections unobstructed and accessible. Sprinkler System (SANS 10287)
Use appropriate sprinkler heads based on fire risk and height. Verify spacing, head type, and temperature ratings. Ensure fire sprinkler system is installed as per designs. Commission system and maintain certificates.
Perform weekly, monthly, quarterly, annual inspections. Hose Reels & Hydrants (SANS 10400-T)
Install hose reels where required and test pressure/flow. Position hydrants within 90m of all areas, keep marked and clear. Conduct regular inspections to ensure they are not vandalised. Fire Doors & Compartmentalisation
Install fire-rated doors in escape routes and key areas. Check ratings (30–120 mins) and self-closing mechanisms. Inspect regularly for damage or obstruction. Ventilation & Smoke Control
Provide smoke ventilation in high-risk buildings. Maintain pressurised stairways or openable 1m² per floor. Test fire dampers and smoke control systems. Escape Routes & Signage
Ensure multiple, unobstructed escape routes to assembly points. Install illuminated/emergency signage to SANS 1186 & 1464 specs. Conduct evacuation drills quarterly. Compliance & Training
Hold current SANS 10287 or ASIB certificates. Maintain fire protection records and inspection logs. Train staff on fire equipment, evacuation, and fire door protocols. Schedule annual fire safety audits.
