Essential Services Maintenance seminar


Seminar Summary

Essential services are the fire and life safety items installed or contracted in a building to ensure adequate levels of fire safety over the life of the building. The reason for maintenance is to ensure that every essential service continues to perform at the same level of operation that existed at time of commissioning and issue of occupancy permit. Maintenance is vital for the life, safety and health of occupants

Good maintenance practice of buildings not only makes good sense from a health and safety point of view, it is also a good risk-management business decision.
