Fire Safety Management Manpower Labour has several specialists who can assess your working environment to determine if it is safe and prepared from a safety management perspective. Our team is made up of professional firefighters who have extensive experience in the firefighting industry.

We assess companies and buildings in line with the SABS or SANS regulations 1475 (firefighting equipment), 0400 (Section T Fire Prevention) and regulation 0139 (evacuation procedures). In addition, we consider the OHS Act and the equipment which should be present, such as first aid boxes, directional and emergency evacuation signage, etc.

The assessment also contains a costing to rectify the non-conformances, thus enabling budgeting provisions to be made available. We supply, install and maintain all the necessary fire safety equipment.
