Alert Level Update

Following the Government’s recent announcement regarding the nationwide alert level changes as at 11:59pm on Tuesday 7 September, we would like to give you an update on Safety First’s plan during this time.

As Safety First’s business activities are not classified as an essential service, all trial evacuations and in-person training scheduled for the Auckland region whilst in alert levels 3 & 4 will be cancelled.

The rest of New Zealand is now in alert level 2, however there are conditions in place that restrict our ability to carry out trial evacuations and in-person training, namely physical distancing and crowd gathering of over 50 persons (in internal environments e.g., offices).

Creating a Robust Fire Evacuation Plan

Writing a fire evacuation scheme, developing emergency procedure notices and applying for approval from FENZ is something that has to be approached methodically, with attention to detail and consideration for the safety of persons within buildings, as every application process must meet with and go beyond the strict criteria laid down by The Fire & Emergency Act 2017 Act and Fire & Emergency Regulations 2018.
