Specialised Safety for Early Learning Centres
Childcare facilities have unique fire risks—from commercial-grade kitchens to high-density play areas. We ensure your “first-attack” equipment is ready to go.
1. Fire Blankets & Extinguishers (Kitchen & Laundry)
Most childcare centres have on-site kitchens where meals are prepared daily.
Routine Servicing: 6-monthly testing of fire blankets and extinguishers to ensure they are fully operational.
Location Compliance: We ensure extinguishers are mounted at the correct height and in the right locations to be accessible to staff but safely out of reach of curious little hands.
2. Emergency & Exit Lighting: Clear Evacuation Paths
During a nap-time fire alarm or a sudden power failure, clear exit lighting is essential for a calm evacuation.
