The specific risks of these industries are unique from any other. This can require unique fire consultancy and sometimes deployment of bespoke fire strategies, dependent on the site and risk.
Omnii is cognisant of and applies National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) codes, i.e. NFPA11 and NFPA16 for special risk fire protection projects. We are conversant with AS 1940 for the Storage of Flammable and Combustible Liquids, and understand that global or major clients often also have their own specialised Fire Protection Services standards, which we can also adhere to.
