1475 Workshop

The Fire Protection Association of Southern Africa was recently audited on SABS 1475 and granted the approval of the mark for its workshop.
The workshop will be functional to service and recondition the fire equipment for the Fire College.
This will also help our students to see our in-house operation.
We will train them in the servicing and maintenance of hand held equipment.
Once they have successfully completed our course the students will get a certificate to that effect.
In due course a refresher course will be introduced for extinguisher technicians.
We are also looking to present a course for representatives that will cover the extinguisher basics of SANS 10400 to give the necessary background of the building regulations.
