Risk-assessed · Cause-and-effect tested · BOMBA-defensible

A smoke detector will not fix infrastructure.

Risk-assessed. Cause-and-effect tested. BOMBA-defensible.

Engineered to detect the actual fire, alert the right people, release the right doors, recall the lifts — and prove all of it on paper, in test, on the day.

The pain pillars

Five ways life-safety systems quietly fail before the day they're needed.

/ 01warning

Detector mismatched to environment.

Ionisation in a kitchen — 40 false alarms a month, then the zone is disabled, then a real grease fire is silent. Optical in flour dust. VESDA in an open-plan office at ten times the budget.

/ 02warning

Sounders too quiet, voice prompts incomprehensible.

55 dBA at the pillow when the standard is 75. Bahasa-only PAVA in a building with Mandarin, English and Tamil tenants. People do not wake. People do not understand.

/ 03warning

Cause-and-effect matrix in one engineer's head.

No written CEM. No end-to-end test of fire-alarm-to-HVAC, lift recall, access release, suppression activation. The engineer leaves; the system cannot be modified.

/ 04warning

Abandonment after commissioning.

Year 4: batteries dead, six detectors in fault, panel running on nine minutes of backup. Nobody has touched it since handover.

/ 05warning

Sensor data with no decision.

A pile of dashboards that nobody opens. No thresholds. No alerts. No automation. The IoT investment is a museum piece.

How we eliminate each pain

One counter per pain. One deliverable per counter.

LoRaWAN reference design.

Built on the MikroTik KNOT LR9 Kit (LoRa + NB-IoT + LTE + RS485 + GPS + RouterOS v7) and integrated to your existing Odoo or HR/helpdesk stack.

Lead magnet · BOMBA Re-Cert Rescue

Your CF is up for renewal. Your fire system is not.

A 1-day diagnostic visit. A 5-page remediation plan covering detector mismatches, notification gaps, cause-and-effect verification, battery state, and the BOMBA re-cert critical path.

The recurring-service hook

A life-safety system you cannot prove is a life-safety system that does not exist.

Every Workplace Safety deployment converts into a 10-Year Lifecycle retainer. Quarterly walk-tests, sensitivity calibration, battery replacement, BOMBA re-cert support, responsible-person training. The CF stays valid because the work behind it stays current.
