Firechief is one of Adelaide’s few fully accredited
fire equipment technicians
While there are compliance laws in place, your technician isn’t required to have any particular training or qualification to ensure you meet those compliance laws (and often don’t care if you do or not).
The SA Government now requires all technicians performing 6 monthly testing on fire hose reels, fire hydrants and fire boosters must have a restricted plumbing licence. Make sure your current service technician is accredited as failing to use an accredited contractor will certainly effect your business. Local councils Form 3 Essential Safety Provision Forms must be signed by a licenced contractor if fire hose reels and fire hydrants are on site.
How can you make sure you meet compliance standards?
As one of Adelaide’s few properly trained and accredited fire equipment technicians, Brett suggests you immediately ask yourself:
- Is your current supplier fully trained and accredited?
- Are they properly insured for public liability and professional indemnity?
- Do they have a current National Police Clearance?
If the answer is ‘no’ to any of the above, you run the risk of your insurance company rejecting a claim in the unfortunate event of a fire.
Don’t take that risk, contact Firechief today on 0412 105 872 for a free compliance check.
