What We Mean by Service & Maintenance
Service means providing our clients with a tailored maintenance contract to ensure optimum product performance, whilst certifying that legislative obligations are met. In the event of equipment malfunction, service means a fast and efficient call-out and repair process.
Fire Safety Systems
Fire safety systems are life-saving interventions and it is therefore essential that regular preventive maintenance is carried out to the required standards, by competent personnel who are thoroughly familiar with the relevant legislation and equipment being serviced.
SANS 10400: Part T
Under the SANS 10400: Part T Building Standards legislation service and preventative maintenance is the responsibility of the property management company or the landlord. All fire safety equipment must be maintained to ensure optimal working order. In extreme cases fire can undermine the survival of a business. The cost of fire claims against South African insurers for direct damage and consequential loss is extensive, preventative maintenance is therefore imperative.
Legal and Insurance Obligations
In the event of property damage or the health/life of occupants in a building being compromised due to fire, maintenance records may be called upon for both legal and insurance purposes. Regular preventative maintenance can extend the lifespan of these essential safety systems. Regular planned preventive maintenance also ensures that any defects are identified and repaired/replaced before a critical situation arises.
