Fire risk prevention

Ensuring complete control of fire risks at all times is essential to guarantee the safety of people and property on your site. To achieve this, Apave Tunisia's teams are at your side every step of the way, whether it's to maximise fire risk prevention, assess the compliance of your installations or enhance the reliability of your equipment.

Your challenges in

fire risk prevention

Given the significant human, material and economic challenges associated with fires, it is essential to anticipate the risk of fire breaking out in your building. Such a disaster can have dramatic consequences: loss of life, destruction of infrastructure, prolonged interruption of business, and even jeopardise the very existence of the organisation.

Whether you are in charge of a public building, a company, a public institution or an industrial site, you are responsible for implementing a rigorous prevention policy and effective fire safety management within your building.

Fire safety

Apave Tunisia's solutions

Apave Tunisia helps you strengthen fire risk prevention within your building through several measures:

 

Regular inspections

We assess the level of fire protection in your establishment and
check:

  • The measures implemented to prevent the outbreak, development and spread of fire.
  • The suitability of fire-fighting equipment.
  • Safety organisation procedures.

An assessment of regulatory compliance

We check that all regulatory standards specific to the sector and the building concerned are met, particularly in terms of the design and layout of the building to ensure the safe evacuation of people, optimise the response of the emergency services and limit the spread of fire.

Inspections and tests

Our inspectors check the reliability and proper functioning of your fire safety installations: fire-fighting equipment, automatic extinguishing systems, smoke extraction systems, etc.

 

Verification of studies and monitoring of work

From the design stage onwards, our teams are responsible for reviewing and approving technical studies, as well as monitoring work and accepting fire safety installations: fire extinguishers, fire hose reels, sprinkler systems, automatic gas extinguishing systems, fire hydrants, smoke extraction systems, etc.

 

Conducting evacuation drills


We organise fire drills to test the effectiveness of your evacuation plan, assess your teams' response times and identify areas for improvement.

Our inspectors can work anywhere in the country, whether in Tunisia's major cities (Tunis, Sfax, Sousse, Bizerte, etc.) or in more remote and isolated areas. This applies to all types of buildings, regardless of their size and use (business, public organisation, tertiary or industrial establishment, etc.).

They help you anticipate, manage and control fire risks from the design stage and throughout the building's life cycle.

Your questions about

fire risk prevention

    Our fire prevention services cover all types of sectors and buildings: establishments open to the public (restaurants, shops, mosques, etc.), business premises, industrial sites, public buildings, high-rise and very high-rise buildings, etc. Our teams' multi-sector expertise and our in-depth knowledge of the regulatory requirements specific to each building enable us to carry out high-quality work on all types of sites.
  • What are the main causes of fire in a building?

    Flames can be caused by a number of factors, the most common of which are listed below:


    - Electrical causes

    • Overheating of electrical installations
    • Defective or poorly maintained electrical appliances
    • Overloaded power strips
    • Poorly insulated or exposed wires
    • Electrical work that does not comply with standards

    - Heat sources

    • Poorly maintained heating appliances
    • Unsupervised hot work (welding, grinding, etc.)...

     

    - Flammable and combustible products


    - Negligence and human error

    • Misuse of equipment
    • Failure to follow safety instructions
    • Poor maintenance of installations
    • Cigarette butts
    • Malicious acts
    • ...

    - Climatic causes (lightning, sun, forest fires, etc.).


  • How can I improve fire prevention in my company?
    Reducing the risk of fire in your business requires the adoption of preventive measures and good practices to be followed on a daily basis. This starts with a risk assessment carried out by qualified, independent experts. They will be able to check that your fire detection and protection systems comply with current standards and that your fire-fighting equipment is in working order (fire extinguishers, alarms, smoke detectors, smoke extraction systems, etc.). In addition, the prevention of such incidents must include the development of a clear and documented safety policy, training for teams in the correct procedures and regular evacuation drills. Finally, care must be taken to limit heat sources, monitor electrical installations and store flammable products in secure areas.
