What is the purpose of the fire protection system?

The aim of a fire protection system is to protect a building's occupants and minimise the damage associated with fire. Overall, the goal is to provide the widest possible window for a safe evacuation, whilst also reducing potential repair costs. Fire protection systems can be categorised as either active or passive. Fire safety training is essential for ensuring the safety and well-being of all employees in the workplace. By providing training, employees are made aware of fire hazards and risks, as well as taught how to prevent fires and respond effectively in case of an emergency.

How will this help you?

A fire protection system can go a long way in ensuring that the workers remain safe from the fire. A fire safety system has a number of components or tools that the workers can use. Using these tools, the worker can successfully put out fires or at least control them until help arrives.
