Inspection and Maintenance of Fire Prevention Systems and Products

The primary reason for having fire protection systems and products is to ensure the safety of building occupants and assets whenever there is a fire emergency. That means the systems and fire safety products should always be in the best condition to efficiently serve their intended purposes. Since these systems usually work in coordination with one another to ensure prompt fire detection and response, malfunction in any of them could put people and the entire property in great danger.

Just like fire occurs without any warnings, fire protection systems and products can also succumb to sudden faults. In most occasions, you will only notice the malfunction whenever there is a fire emergency that requires the use of those systems. In such situations, you could even risk death. The best way to avoid surprises like these is through the regular inspection and maintenance of fire prevention systems and products in your home, commercial or industrial premises.

Aims of Fire Prevention Systems Inspection and Maintenance

The scheduled inspection and maintenance of fire prevention systems and products is a mandatory requirement by the Fire Code that must be performed by Qualified Persons. There are various reasons why it is stipulated all fire prevention systems and products should be regularly inspected and maintained. The following are the key aims of the procedure.

Identify potential fire hazards

Every building has unique fire safety risks. Sometimes, the hazards can also change based on the environment and activities performed therein. Regular inspections ensure that any potential fire risks on the building are detected early. As a result, they can be resolved on time to ensure all-time fire protection and safety. Qualified Persons can also enlighten the building occupants or workers on the premises on how to safely and quickly identify fire threats as well as the necessary steps to pursue.

Ascertain code compliance

Fire prevention systems and product can deteriorate over time as a result of normal wear. As a result, they may still function but, not efficiently as required by the fire codes. Besides, the fire codes stipulate that regular inspection and maintenance of fire prevention systems should be done by QP and documented appropriately. Thus, hiring Qualified Persons to inspect and maintain your fire prevention systems and products will also ensure compliance with the fire safety regulations Singapore.

Preserve fire prevention systems in proper working condition

While there are some faults with fire prevention systems and products that you can easily identify, some are quite hard to notice until they cause total collapse of the systems. Regular inspection, testing and maintenance is meant to properly assess all the systems, identify problems and effectively fix them on time. As a result, you will have the peace of mind that your fire prevention systems and products are ready to offer the desired protection during a fire emergency. Keeping the systems in proper working condition will also save you from the huge costs of frequent repair and replacement.

Collect data on the building

In every inspection and maintenance procedure, Qualified Persons are required to document all the findings about the fire systems and products on the building. The information is used to review the building’s fire prevention compliance and readiness as well as prepare emergency response plans. In workplaces, the data can also be used to educate the employees on fire safety measures at the premises.
