Fire Protection System and Sprinkler Maintenance

Fixed fire protection systems only save lives and assets if they work on the day they are needed, yet they are often neglected until an inspection or incident exposes gaps. This programme trains maintenance teams to inspect, test and maintain sprinkler systems, fire pumps, hydrants and detection equipment. Delegates learn practical routines that keep systems ready and support insurance and facility requirements common across African commercial and industrial sites.
