Smoke extraction and control systems are important for driving out smoke from buildings in case of fire emergencies. If smoke is not controlled and extracted from the building as soon as possible, it could quickly accumulate, causing visibility and breathing problems. As a result, it will be very easy for the occupants of the building to get involved in accidents or even damage assets in the process of trying to vacate the building or stop the fire. If inhaled in large amounts, smoke could even result in death.
Having effective smoke extraction and control system will also help with ensuring the safety of responders when putting out the fires. Whether you already have smoke extraction and control systems installed on your building or planning to install them, proper testing and inspection is always recommended to make sure that they are in the right state to efficiently serve you during a fire emergency. By neglecting these essential procedures, you will only be increasing the chances of injuries and damage to your assets during a fire outbreak.
Benefits of Smoke Extraction and Control Systems Testing & Inspection
One of the reasons why some home owners and businesses neglect regular smoke extraction and control systems testing and inspection is because of the lack of a better understanding of its value. Others also think that it is an unnecessary costly expenditure. However, such are baseless assumptions that could only endanger the lives of the people in your building and assets therein. In fact, the proper and regular inspection and testing of smoke extraction and control systems offer endless benefits for better fire safety.
Similar to other fire protection systems, smoke extraction and control systems also have multiple parts and components. Any of those parts can experience malfunction as a result of physical damage or normal wear and tear without prior warning. Whenever such incidences occur, the systems will not be able to function as intended. Consistent inspection and testing of the systems will ensure that all the parts are thoroughly examined for signs of damage or malfunction and fixed on time to ensure better protection for the occupants of the building and assets.
Smoke extraction and control systems are among the key requirements for residential and commercial buildings today. According to fire safety codes Singapore, the systems should also be properly inspected and tested on a regular basis for compliance. As such, hiring a professional to conduct the procedures will not only ensure the safety of your building but, also compliance with the local, national and international fire safety codes. The owners of buildings that do not meet the compliance standards risk fines and even closure of the property, which could impact huge losses for commercial and industrial property owners.
