Fire Safety Equipment Must Be Maintained During Covid 19 Lockdowns

Announcement posted by Aegis Safe 31 Aug 2021

With the nation locking down to limit the spread of COVID-19 and Prime Minister Scott Morrison warning that essential services must not be suspended, Aegis Safe is urging property owners and facility managers to keep their fire protection equipment well maintained.

While much of ordinary life is coming to a standstill in response to the latest wave COVID-19, fire protection and other essential services must not be neglected. Aegis Safe, a business specializing in fire services, is prepared to help facility managers keep their buildings safe throughout the pandemic.

Fire protection services are necessary for keeping people and property safe from the hazards of deadly blazes. Overlooking these key services will put people at serious risk of injury and death. When protective equipment is left unmaintained, it increases the potential for a deadly fire. Malfunctioning or inoperable equipment can also impede rescue efforts after a fire has started.

Ensuring that routine fire safety services are continued will help to prevent these worst-case scenarios from happening. Fire service companies should work with businesses and facilities managers to take all possible safety precautions and meet all government regulations in order to deliver these required services.

Aegis Safe is prepared to safely provide fire protection services under pandemic conditions. The company outfits all of their fire technicians with the personal protective equipment necessary to avoid spreading COVID-19. Employees are trained to take precautions and reduce the probability of spread. The company has modified schedules to limit employee interactions with clients and the public and intends to pursue further safety initiatives at all company facilities.

Fire protection services are as essential during a pandemic as at any other time. Foregoing these services puts everyone inside a building at risk. Property owners and facility managers must continue to look out for the safety of the people on their premises. Aegis Safe is committed to safely providing all necessary fire protection services.
