Fire protection equipment is crucial for your business. Investing in fire protection equipment and staff training is not just about compliance; it's about helping to safeguard your employees’ safety, your business assets, and the future of your business. Equipment like fire extinguishers, fire hose reels and fire blankets are very effective at preventing small fires becoming large fires.
According to FENZ, 80% of all fires in commercial properties get extinguished in the early stages by members of the public, without the need for firefighters. Of these fires, 90% get extinguished using a fire extinguisher1.
In certain circumstances, NZI may require your business to install firefighting equipment as a condition of your insurance cover with us. We encourage you to take advantage of this offer to support your risk improvement efforts.
