Properly positioned fire extinguishers of the right type can make a difference in the event of a fire. Öryggismiðstöðin offers all types of fire extinguishers, fire hoses, and fire prevention blankets.

Fire alarm systems are an integral part of responsible housing operations. They consist of an operations center, which receives messages, sends out alerts, and monitors sensors, and other equipment connected to the system.

Fire extinguishing systems are an effective solution for extinguishing fires that can break out in areas where valuables are stored or are important for daily operations. These systems prevent fires from intensifying and causing damage.

Maps of escape routes and a layout of the entire fire prevention system must be present at fire alarm control centers. They are made in accordance with current building regulations and must be accessible and in close proximity to the system control center and in its manual.

According to regulation no. 723/2017, the owners and managers of commercial buildings must carry out regular inspections of their fire prevention measures. Öryggismiðstöðin offers service agreements for fire prevention inspections which meet the requirements of that regulation.

According to the Fire Protection Act No. 75/2000, the responsibility for fire prevention lies with the owners and managers of commercial buildings. Owners of buildings subject to fire department inspections shall appoint a fire prevention officer for their buildings.

Evacuation exercises are important in buildings where crowds regularly gather and are an integral part of an evacuation plan.
