The Three Major Fire Safety Challenges Auckland Businesses Face

Compliance Issues and Safety Equipment Concerns – the Biggest Fire Safety Issues Threatening Auckland Businesses Today

From understanding the ins and outs of NZ’s regulations to making sure all safety systems are up to date, there’s a lot for Auckland business owners to juggle when it comes to fire safety. As Auckland’s go-to provider of fire safety solutions, Fireco is here to explain the three biggest fire safety challenges Auckland businesses face – and how they can resolve them.

1) Relying on Old Fire Alarm Systems

Too many businesses in Auckland still rely on old fire alarm systems, which can be unreliable and slow to respond in emergencies. Outdated systems also lack modern safety features like early smoke detection and automated alerts, which are critical for reducing response times and minimising damage. Not only are these old systems dangerous, they can also be illegal and not within compliance with current fire safety standards or up to BWOF compliance.

As Auckland’s fire safety compliance experts, Fireco can help provide your business with the right fire alarm system. From checking your current setup to installing and maintaining a new system, our local experts will make sure you’re equipped with a system that not only keeps your business safe, but protects you from non-compliance penalties.

2) Improperly Maintained Fire Safety Equipment

Having fire safety equipment on-site in your business is important, but maintaining it is just as crucial. Extinguishers, emergency lighting, safety signage, and other equipment needs to be in good working condition to work properly in an emergency – neglected or poorly maintained equipment can mean failure when needed most, putting lives and property at risk.

Not only do we supply fire safety equipment to Auckland business, but Fireco’s team is here to make sure your equipment is in good working order with regular servicing and maintenance. We can keep track of when your equipment requires servicing and supply a certificate of compliance for businesses; plus, all our equipment is of the highest standard and carries a 5-year guarantee, so you know your business is in good hands.

3) Failing to Meet BWOF Compliance

Regulatory compliance is one of the biggest challenges for businesses in Auckland, particularly adherence to Building Warrant of Fitness (BWOF) standards. Navigating these regulations requires local expertise and a good understanding of the evolving regional guidelines for building practices.

We understand that the BWOF process can feel confusing for many business and property owners, which is why Fireco offers IQP services. These Independent Qualified Person inspections guide businesses through Auckland’s regulatory frameworks with building inspections and proactive management of compliance of specified systems to meet BWOF requirements.

Specialising in fire protection and suppression, fire alarms, emergency lights, exits and signage, fire and smoke separations, and automatic doors and access control, Fireco makes sure that Auckland properties are well-prepared for any fire emergency.
