Sharjah Starts Fire Safety in Building Campaign
Sharjah has initiated a comprehensive fire safety campaign to enhance building safety standards ahead of the summer season, a period when high temperatures elevate fire risks. This initiative is a collaborative effort between Saned Facility Management, the Sharjah Civil Defence Authority, and the Sharjah Prevention and Safety Authority.
Key Objectives and Strategies:
-
Inspection and Maintenance: The campaign focuses on assessing and improving the performance of fire alarm and early warning systems across various buildings in Sharjah. Particular attention is given to structures identified by the ‘Aman’ system as having technical faults.
-
‘Aman’ System Integration: Central to this effort is the ‘Aman’ system, an integrated digital platform that connects building fire alarms directly to the operations centers of both the civil defence and Saned. This connectivity allows for real-time monitoring and quicker detection of faults, facilitating faster emergency responses.
-
Stakeholder Engagement: Building owners and property managers are being notified about identified issues and are encouraged to conduct timely maintenance using contractors officially approved by civil defence authorities.
-
Continuous Monitoring: The campaign is ongoing, with no fixed end date, emphasizing the importance of regular system checks and maintenance to ensure the effectiveness and responsiveness of safety infrastructure.
This initiative reflects a shared commitment to public safety and operational readiness, aiming to resolve issues proactively before emergencies arise. Authorities stress that the long-term success of the campaign will depend on continued collaboration between government bodies, service providers, and building operators to maintain high standards in fire prevention.
