As industry leaders in fire safety for factories and manufacturing facilities, we’ve been catering to businesses’ fire safety needs for over 40 years. Whether you’re searching for a fire safety provider for the first time or changing from your old one, Betta Fire Protection should be top of mind when selecting a fire protection agency.
Unlike some operators in the industry, Betta Fire Protection won’t just sign off on work orders and AFSS without ensuring the EFSM meet Australian standards, as this can put people and property at risk and leave you liable. All work is carried out by experts, so you can be confident your fire safety systems are compliant and high-quality.
We endeavour to build and maintain strong relationships with our clients so you can feel confident that you’ve chosen the right company to protect your factory and employees. We also offer workplace fire training so your staff knows what to do in an emergency.
What fire safety equipment is required in a factory?
Fire safety requirements are generally defined by the National Code of Construction, EPA, and WHS legislation. The NCC defines factories as class 8.
How often should fire safety equipment in a factory be inspected?
Australian Standard 1851 recommends when fire safety equipment should be inspected. The EPA states the building must be maintained, and an Annual Fire Safety Statement must be made by the building owner.
What types of fire extinguishers are suitable for a factory setting?
This depends on the class of hazard within the factory. For example, if your operations involve hazardous chemicals, you may have different requirements compared to a food and beverage processing facility. We can advise on what is appropriate for your factory.
Are fire sprinkler systems required in a factory?
Is fire safety training mandatory for factory employees?
Under the WHS, providing a safe working environment is mandatory. Organisations could be exposed to liability if an accident occurs and the employees are not trained to do the right thing. Therefore, training is necessary.
What are the common fire hazards in factories and manufacturing facilities?
The most common fire hazards we see in factories are:
- Hazardous and flammable materials, particularly in relation to poor storage
- Machinery and tools and issues around PPE and how they are operated
- Untrained staff or staff not following procedures
- Issues with fire safety signage not being visible or fire exits being blocked or difficult to access
