Reasons For Doing What We Do

The National Buildings Regulations and Buildings Standards Act requires that all safety equipment be maintained and records kept of such maintenance. FTS therefore upholds a high standard in its supply and installation of fire safety systems, to not only protect the building and occupants, but also to justify the superior quality of products and service as a sound investment. The time where regular maintenance was regarded as an unnecessary additional expense, or even as a luxury, no longer applies because substandard maintenance practices are simply not an option.

The fire safety systems provide a fundamental element of fire strategy preventive maintenance. It is essential that measures are taken to ensure the continued reliability of these systems, in the event of a fire. By entering into a preventive maintenance agreement, you are fulfilling your obligation under SANS 10400: Part T and SANS 10139 Building Standards, and acknowledge the responsibility to ensure that all requisite systems function as intended.

Under the SANS 10400: Part T Building Standards legislation service and preventive 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 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 preventive 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.
