Specialised Maintenance for Mining Environments
Mining sites require a level of durability and documentation that far exceeds standard commercial requirements. We focus on the essential “portables” that keep your site operations safe.
1. Heavy Vehicle & Plant Fire Extinguishers
Mobile plant and heavy vehicles are the lifeblood of a mine site. We ensure their first-attack equipment is ready for the rough terrain.
Anti-Vibration Checks: We inspect extinguisher brackets and mounts to ensure they haven’t been compromised by constant vehicle vibration.
ABE Dry Powder Specialists: We service the heavy-duty ABE extinguishers used to protect engines and hydraulic systems.
6-Monthly Tagging: Rigorous routine testing to ensure pressure is maintained despite harsh environmental conditions.
2. Worker Accommodation & Village Safety
Remote worker villages (camps) are high-density residential zones that require meticulous oversight.
Smoke Alarm Programmes: Systematic testing and cleaning of smoke alarms across large-scale accommodation modules.
Emergency & Exit Lighting: Ensuring all evacuation paths in worker villages are illuminated and tested to the 90-minute standard.
Fire Blankets & Portables: Routine servicing of equipment in communal mess halls and laundries.
3. Remote Site Offices & Workshops
Hose Reel Maintenance: Testing non-pumped hose reels in workshops to ensure they are ready for industrial risks.
Signage & Visibility: Ensuring high-visibility identification signage is present, even in high-dust environments.

Navigating the “Landlord vs. Tenant” Compliance Gap
In industrial leasing, the line between who is responsible for fire safety can often be blurred.
Structural Safety: Usually the responsibility of the Landlord (Fire walls, hydrants, sprinklers).
Operational Maintenance: Usually the responsibility of the Tenant (Extinguishers, exit lights, staff training).
FIRESHIFT works with both parties to ensure there are no “gaps” in your compliance. We provide the digital documentation needed for Annual Fire Safety Statements (NSW) and Occupier’s Statements (QLD), ensuring both the asset owner and the business operator are protected.
