Inspection of 5 June 2025 — Inspection Report
Regulation 26 — Fire safety measures
- (1)(b) A record of the number, type and maintenance of the smoke detection system was not available. When queried by the inspector, it was established that the smoke detection equipment in the service was battery operated. Battery-powered smoke alarms are considered to be inadequate for use in pre-school services
Provider's corrective action:
- (1) (b) Installed a Fire Detection and Alarm System (Mag 4 Fire Control Panel) which is now fully functional and operational to replace the non-compliant smoke detection equipment that was in place at time of inspection. We will incorporate a similar policy to our fire drills and fire fighting equipment when it comes to maintaining the number, type and maintenance of our Fire Detection and Alarm System with regular written and recorded checks in tandem with our fire drill procedures
Found compliant: Regulation 9, 11, 21, 24, 25, 28.
