Fire safety is something that has taken a back seat in South Africa for far too long. While building associations have strict standards in terms of designs and layouts for fire safety, South Africa seems to have been lagging behind. Now the National Building Regulations and Building Standards Act 103, section A19 states the following; “The owner of a building shall appoint and retain one or more approved competent persons to undertake responsibility for the work associated with such regulations including inspections and certifications that may be required in terms of fire safety.” While fire engineers are not common in South Africa, one must still ensure that any building, especially public buildings have mechanisms and strategies to protect against loss of life and serious damage to assets and buildings due to fire outbreak.
An unfortunate amount of buildings in South Africa have been designed without the assistance or input of a professional fire engineer and this leaves many lives at risks. Many of these building owners have fire protection and safety features as an add on facility, which can make a difference, but cannot guarantee against fatalities and serious injuries, not to mention loss of property and assets which can cause a major financial strain on a business or household.
At Amlec we take the safety of our clients and their buildings very seriously. We have a variety of fire protection services designed to protect you in the event of a fire. We can also assist with obtaining certificates of compliance for fire safety for building owners. Our services and products are offered on a professional basis and we aim to ensure that each system installed is tested and monitored for the safety of our clients.

Hi Neil, I would just like to commend one of your members on their great service, knowledge and being so humble whilst doing the installation. I will get his name wrong but maybe it was Bongi (Sbu) whom came from Peters Security to join your team. Wow he is a real asset to your company , keep up the good work he was very professional in the way he conducted business. kind regards, Jason Mclennan(PostNet Victoria Square)

Dear Jolene, Thank you to you and your team at Amlec for all the kind assistance and prompt attention during at all times. Every one of you have certainly gone above and beyond the call of duty. It was always a relief to know that I was going to get assistance and guidance during the many times that I could not reach the heirs to intervene. The service was sterling. I am however grateful that this transfer has been concluded

Hi Shonelle, Thanks for the message, much appreciated. I do hope that Barry will be able to sort out what is happening as the Olarm in principle is great and I’ve been very happy dealing with the Amlec control room and armed response teams. The control room people you have are really great and have been very patient and professional, even though this must be quite frustrating for them as well, and it is a huge relief to finally have an armed response time which is acceptable! Looking forward to feedback when available. Kind regards, Kate Watts

I would like to say how happy I am with Amlecs services. They are attentive organised friendly and always concerned for the safety of this clinic. In all the years I have dealt with security firms professionally, this is the first company that have been so efficient in every aspect of their job. I feel honoured and protected every time they phone me. Thank you once again for looking after us.

Thanks for your quick response. Compliments to your technicians for their efficient service. Whilst the technicians were on site they passed on tips on maintenance of equipment which is vital for the long life which is sure to keep consumer costs down.
