✅ Fire Safety Compliance Checklist for Kenyan Buildings

To ensure your premises meet the Directorate of Occupational Safety and Health Services (DOSHS) and Nairobi County Fire Department standards, your system should include:
  • Proper Smoke Detection: Firstly, you must install smoke detectors in all common areas, hallways, and bedrooms. Additionally, kitchens require specialized heat detectors to prevent false alarms from cooking.
  • Accessible Manual Call Points: Furthermore, you should mount “Break Glass” call points at a height of 1.4 meters from the floor. These must be located near all emergency exits and along escape routes.
  • Audible Alarm Sirens: Specifically, the alarm sounders must be loud enough to be heard in every part of the building, even over the noise of machinery or air conditioners.
  • Reliable Power Backup: Moreover, all fire control panels must have 12V or 24V standby batteries. This ensures the system remains active for at least 24 hours if the main power fails.
  • Clear Warning Signage: Finally, every fire alarm component should be accompanied by clear, visible signage. Therefore, occupants can easily locate the nearest manual trigger during an emergency.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

What is the difference between a smoke detector and a heat detector?
Firstly, smoke detectors identify smoke particles and are best for bedrooms or offices. Additionally, heat detectors trigger based on temperature rises and are ideal for kitchens or dusty areas where smoke detectors might cause false alarms.
How often should a fire alarm system be serviced in Kenya?
To stay compliant with safety laws, you should test your system weekly. Furthermore, a professional technician should perform a full service and inspection every six months.
Do fire alarms work during a power outage?
Yes. Specifically, all our fire control panels include Standby Batteries that keep the system active for at least 24 hours during a blackout
Enhance your building safety by integrating your fire panel with our Access Control Systems to automatically unlock doors during an emergency.
