FIRE SAFETY MANAGEMENT

Get the reassurance that comes from deep expertise, true independence, an appreciation of different environments and practicality. Fires can have a devastating financial impact upon businesses of all sizes, destroying the livelihood of business owners, operators, and employees, and in many cases leading to bankruptcy. Whether large or small, a fire can cause irreparable damage to a business’ infrastructure and stock, resulting in significant losses to productivity and profit.

Key Areas are:
    1. Fire safety management reviews
    2. Fire risk assessments & prevention plan
    3. Fire management documentation systems
      • Fire alarm and firefighting equipment
      • Emergency procedures used to instruct on what to do in the event of fire
      • Records of staff training and fire drills
      • Records of testing and maintenance of the fire alarm system
      • Records of testing and maintenance of the emergency lighting
      • Records of testing and maintenance of firefighting equipment, such as fire extinguishers
    4. Fire Warden training (awareness, duties, evacuation, first aid and firefighting)
    5. Fire evacuation drill support
    6. Emergency response plan

Our fire safety audits will typically conclude with a walk around the premises to highlight findings and corrective/ preventive measures to keep the system functional.

      • A suitable and sufficient fire risk assessment
      • Action plans related to any significant findings of the fire risk assessment
      • Emergency plans for the premises
      • Preventative and protective measures regarding fire
      • Training programs and procedures
      • Planned Preventive Maintenance (PPM) – evidence of a fire safety maintenance checklist (what is checked, by who, and when, and maintenance of structured records)

    Evidence that the fire systems have been tested by a competent person, typical examples are:

    • Fire detection and warning systems
    • Emergency lighting
    • Sprinkler system
    • Water mist systems
    • Ventilation System
    • Firefighting equipment
    • Electrical wiring in the building
    • Fire and smoke dampers
    • System interfaces for fire doors and fire shutters etc.

MACHINE SAFETY

Machines can help improve production efficiency in the workplace. However, their moving parts, sharp edges, and hot surfaces can also cause serious workplace injuries such as crushed fingers or hands, amputations, burns, or blindness. Safeguards are essential to protect workers from injury. Any machine part, function, or process that might cause injury should be safeguarded. When the operation of a machine may result in a contact injury to the operator or others in the area, the hazard should be removed or controlled.

CHEMICAL SAFETY

Chemical safety goes beyond goggles and gloves. It requires proper planning and execution of general safety and emergency response procedures. Whether you work with chemicals directly or indirectly, it’s important to understand the risks and take the necessary steps to reduce chemical hazards and increase overall safety. Chemicals can be inhaled, absorbed, or injected, and planning for all of these possibilities will lead to a safer workplace. Improved organization of the chemical storage areas can also help to prevent chemical mishaps. All chemicals, including storage and waste containers, should be properly labeled, and any damaged, illegible, or mislabeled containers should be reported and addressed. Clean any chemical storage areas regularly to avoid the accumulation of unneeded or hazardous chemicals.

  1. Chemical storage conditions
  2. Chemical handling
  3. MSDS / SDS
  4. Chemical compatibility and risk matrix
  5. Chemical segregation
  6. Chemical identification
