A fire onboard a commercial vessel is a disaster everyone wants to avoid. This is why you have all of the necessary fire and life safety equipment on board to put out the fire and help those who have been injured. But, how do you ensure that the equipment is inspected and you remain complaint with regulations?
Protect Passengers
If a fire breaks out on one of your vessels and the fire suppression system has not been inspected recently, there is a much higher chance that it will not do its job when you need it. The same is true of fire suppression systems and fire extinguishers. If a passenger is injured on your vessel and your first aid and emergency response kits have expired equipment in them, those that are injured may not get the care they need. Have all AED’s been inspected within the required time frame? Having all of the fire and life safety equipment on your ships inspected and updated per all federal and local regulations is the only way to ensure your passengers are protected on one of your vessels.
Protect Property
In the event of an emergency, the safety of everyone on board is of the utmost importance. However, protecting your vessel and all of the expensive equipment aboard is also a factor that should not be overlooked and is a key element when managing Fire and Life Safety for commercial fleets. Even small fires can cause irreparable damage to a ship that will render them unusable. Inspection of fire and life safety equipment on all the vessels in a commercial fleet is mandatory as per regulations and to protect passengers and property.
Fines
When managing Fire and Life Safety for Commercial Fleets one must consider the fact that each ship has unique requirements for when and how you need to maintain the fire and life safety equipment on board, and these requirements can change frequently with updated regulations. Staying on top of these requirements means being up to date on all updates from federal and local authorities. Failing to inspect your fire and life safety equipment will mean that you fall out of compliance and will then be subject to fines should an audit / inspection occur.
