🔥 Not Just Firefighters — A Team That Cares 🔥

It’s always inspiring to see a fire team made up of everyday heroes — engineers, storemen, and staff from across the company — stepping up to train in fire safety.

They’re not full-time firefighters, but they make the time to prepare, to learn, and to protect.

That’s what real commitment looks like — being ready when it counts.

🛑 Damaged Lifting Slings Can Cause Devastating Incidents—Inspect, Store, and Test with Purpose

A single sling failure can lead to catastrophic injury, equipment loss, or even fatalities. That’s why South Africa’s OHS Act and Driven Machinery Regulations require all lifting tackle to be:
✅ Inspected regularly by a competent person
✅ Load tested annually
✅ Tagged and traceable
✅ Stored properly to prevent degradation

According to SANS 2972, lifting slings must be checked for:
• Cuts, abrasions, broken stitching, or corrosion
• Signs of chemical damage or UV exposure
• Proper labelling and safe working load (SWL) visibility

Whether it’s chain slings, webbing, or wire rope—compliance isn’t optional. At EvacQ8 Risk Solutions, we help businesses stay audit-ready and incident-free through thorough inspections, documentation, and training.

🚨 Fire Detection Positioning—Early Warning Starts at the Apex

Correct placement of smoke and heat detectors is critical for fast, reliable fire detection. According to SANS 10139, detectors should be mounted within 600 mm of the apex in pitched ceilings to avoid delayed activation caused by heat and smoke stratification.

📏 Spacing guidelines:
- Smoke detectors: Max 15 m apart (coverage radius of 7.5 m)
- Heat detectors: Max 10.6 m apart (coverage radius of 5.3 m)

Detectors mounted too low or spaced too far apart may fail to detect fire conditions early—putting lives and assets at risk.

At EvacQ8 Risk Solutions, we ensure your fire detection systems meet SANS 10139 and SANS 10400-T standards, with correct placement, spacing, and documentation.
