Sarawak Bomba to Implement New Fire Safety Compliance Framework

The Sarawak Fire and Rescue Department, also known as Bomba, is set to implement a new fire safety compliance framework in accordance with the amended Fire Services Act. This move aims to enhance fire safety standards and reduce the risk of fires in the state. The new framework will provide a comprehensive approach to fire safety, covering various aspects such as fire prevention, detection, and suppression. It will also emphasize the importance of regular fire drills and training for building occupants. The amended Fire Services Act will give Bomba more authority to enforce fire safety regulations and take action against non-compliant building owners. The department will work closely with building owners, managers, and occupants to ensure a smooth transition to the new framework. The new framework will also include guidelines for the installation and maintenance of fire safety equipment, such as fire alarms and sprinkler systems. Additionally, it will provide requirements for fire safety plans, emergency evacuation procedures, and fire risk assessments. The implementation of the new framework is expected to reduce the number of fires in Sarawak and minimize the risk of injuries and fatalities. Bomba will conduct regular inspections and audits to ensure compliance with the new framework. The department will also provide education and training programs to raise awareness about fire safety and the importance of compliance. The new framework will be implemented in phases, starting with high-risk buildings such as hospitals, schools, and shopping malls. The implementation of the new framework is a significant step towards enhancing fire safety in Sarawak and reducing the risk of fires. It is also expected to contribute to the overall safety and well-being of the community. The Sarawak government has emphasized the importance of fire safety and has committed to providing the necessary resources and support to Bomba to ensure the successful implementation of the new framework. The new framework will be regularly reviewed and updated to ensure it remains effective and relevant. The implementation of the new framework is a collaborative effort between Bomba, building owners, and the community. It requires the cooperation and commitment of all stakeholders to ensure the success of the new framework. The new framework will also include provisions for penalties and fines for non-compliant building owners. The department will work closely with the relevant authorities to ensure that the new framework is enforced effectively. The implementation of the new framework is expected to have a positive impact on the community, reducing the risk of fires and enhancing overall safety. The new framework will also contribute to the economic development of Sarawak by reducing the risk of fires and minimizing the impact of fires on businesses and industries. The Sarawak government has commended Bomba for its efforts to enhance fire safety in the state and has expressed its commitment to supporting the department in its efforts to implement the new framework.
