Protecting Lives, Property and your business.
When it comes to fire prevention and protection, safety is not something we can take for granted.
Ensuring Life safety is most essential aspect for all codes. A fire can happen at any time at any place. The recent major fires in the country has reinforced that fire can happen at any place and can cause potential harm to the life and property of its occupants.
Here at EGSS, we work hard to keep your life and property safe. We do that by providing prompt and reliable audits, training, equipment installation, inspection, maintenance, and repair services . With over 10 years in the industry, we can make sure your fire prevention and protection systems are up-to-code and ready to fight fire in the event of an emergency.
Fire and Life safety audit is an effective and essential tool for assessing fire safety standards of an organization or occupancy. NBC recommends for periodical fire safety audit by the key personnel of the occupants of the buildings. In case of industrial buildings the statutory authorities insist for fire safety audit by external agencies depending on the type of activity and nature of materials handled in the building.
As mentioned in NBC,2016 "All high rise (15m and above) buildings must get FIre safety audit done by third party once in every 2 years."
Recent Fire incidents in Hospitals of Rajkot and New-Delhi, has also led to Supreme Court Judgement directing all states to get FIRE SAFETY AUDIT done of dedicated Covid-19 Hospitals. |

FIRE EXTINGUISHER :REFILLING & MAINTENANCE
Firstly, Used fire extinguisher, even partially, is useless in case of a subsequent fire scenario. Secondly, The statutory framework in the country makes it mandatory for the shell of the fire extinguisher to undergo Hydrostatic Pressure Test every 3 years
Hence it is essential to get the fire extinguisher recharged immediately, without any delay.
Our Services are performed as per legal requirements and standards:

NEVER AT RISK WITH EGSS
With every Refilling request, we arrange thorough check as per IS 2190 and other standards and ensure that extinguishers are always in ready to use conditions. Along with refilling, we take comprehensive AMC exclusively for Fire Extinguisher so you don't miss any regular inspection and timely refilling. We also arrange:
Hydrostatic Pressure Testing
Monthly/ Quarterly checks
Operational checks during drill
Placement of extinguishers as per fire load and risk
As per NBC 2016, Fire load is defined as Calorific energy, of the whole contents contained in a space, including the facings of the walls, partitions, floors and ceilings.
Fire Load calculations leads us to the determination of requirement of fire safety system and safe storage of material within a specified space, in order to keep the occupants and property safe.
Fire load = Mass x Calorific value / Area(Kcal per square meter) |
We, at EGSS has team of experts to perform this analysis for you. Our reference standards are:

Our methodology:Inventory MethodWeighted MethodCombination Method
|  |
Fire load calculations requires various inputs like:
Layout plan
Major compartments/blocks within the facility.
Inventory of materials
Situational and Seasonal Impacts on inventory
Site Observations
Outcome:
All buildings can be graded according to their fire hazard and are to be provided for with suitable fire precautions on the basis of the fire load. Hence, the grading of buildings according to both fire load and fire resistance can be made.
Once the fire load calculations is completed, next step is Fire risk assessment
FIRE LOAD CALCULATION
Assessment of potential risk due to the outbreak of fire and providing solutions for mitigation.
A comprehensive fire risk assessment covers various aspects which are related to design, operation and maintenance of building premise and even the review of inherent fire hazards associated with the normal day to day business operations.
The scope and methodology of comprehensive fire safety risk assessment is directly or indirectly related to National Building Code, 2016, building by laws for fire safety, various other India Standards and fire departments of local/ national authorities.
With the objective to perform a systematic and critical evaluation of Fire Safety of the occupancy and suggest recommendations to improve fire safety standards.

FIRE SAFETY AUDIT - HOSPITALS (NABH) |
Fires can be devastating, especially in a hospital where a large number of people who need to be evacuated may be vulnerable – immuno compromised, on life support, and incapable of moving on their own. There are special requirements that must be met with while evacuating such people in case of fire emergencies. But before that – “fires must be prevented.
As per NBC,2016 it is a legal requirement for all hospitals to obtain No objection Certificate from the concerned fire department. With an annual renewal.However, NABH has notified that in case Fire NOC is not available with the Hospital, the hospital must ensure.Also, recently, Supreme court has stated " "The (dedicated COVID-19) hospitals which have not gone for the renewal for fire NOC should get it renewed within four weeks and action be taken if the renewal has not been obtained," the bench said, adding that "The hospitals which have not taken fire NOC should immediately go for it." It said that every state is obliged to appoint nodal officer to ensure that there is no repeat of fire incidents in hospitals which had taken place in Rajkot and Ahmedabad.

EGSS facilitates fire and emergency drills in all types of buildings as per their respective evacuation plan. EGSS has its unique way of making people aware of the fire emergency and preparing them to evacuate safely. We also organize Emergency Drills.
In Emergency Drill we evacuate a building when the conditions inside the building present a hazard to human life, health or safety. If the conditions outside of a building presented a hazard to human life, health or safety, one would reverse the evacuation steps and shelter inside a building. Emergency Drills covers preparedness for Bomb Threat, Rescue, Terror attack, Earthquake, Medical Emergency, Chemical Spill, Basement flooding, and many other scenarios.
Our drill process involves:
Prior meeting with Emergency Management Team
Mock fire and Victim
Fire Alarm
Teams- Fire fighting, Evacuation, Rescue, First aid
Assembly ground
Brief training session on fire and evacuation
Demo of fire extinguishers, Hydrant and Hose-reels.
Closing meeting with Emergency Management Team
Review on time of evacuation, observations during the drill and recommendations
Fire NOC issued by the respective state fire service verifies that a building is resistant or unlikely to observe any fire related accidents. By meeting certain guidelines laid down by the fire department, an applicant can obtain NOC for his any type of building covered under the criteria of Fire NOC.
Why do you need a FIRE NOC?
Legal Requirement
Ensure safety to life and property
Ensure appropriate fire fighting system
The no-objection certificate is issued by the Fire department after verifying and auditing the building's fire resistance and fire safety mechanism which should be at par with the fire safety standards and guidelines as stated by The Bureau of Indian Standards(BIS) and concerned state government respectively. After complete inspection when the fire department finds the safety mechanism meets the required standards, it issues the NOC (Non-Objection Certificate) for the commercial/residential building of the applicant.
The Fire Department NOC is issued by the respective states' fire service department which verifies and checks the building fire resistance or that the building can observe any fire-related accidents.
As per NBC, High-rise buildings having a height of more than 15 meters or multi-story buildings are required to obtain Fire NOC from Fire Service Department of their state. However, different states have their own regulations mandating Fire NOC for buildings.
Apart from this, according to NBC Part 4, buildings of the following categories are under obligation to observe fire and safety measures. |
Residential occupancy with part commercial usage (irrespective of height).
Educational Buildings (Schools, University, Colleges, etc.).
Assembly Buildings (Cinema Halls, Ceremonial Houses, etc).
Business Buildings having offices.
Institutional Buildings ( hospital, nursing home, etc).
Mercantile Buildings (shops, warehouse, etc).
Industrial Buildings.
Hazardous Buildings.
