Nueva Zelanda: seguridad contra incendios

“Ley” es una norma vinculante. “Orientación oficial” no es ley, pero los inspectores la esperan. “Chef Hygiene predeterminado” es un valor que la aplicación comprueba cuando ninguna norma especifica un número.

• LeyIn every building the escape routes are kept clear, exit doors unlocked and free of blockages, and smoke and fire doors kept closed; the owner has an evacuation procedure with information for the people inside (Fire and Emergency New Zealand evacuation regulations 2018, regs 5 to 7).
• LeyA building where 100 or more people gather, or 10 or more people work (and some others, like early childhood centres and buildings with sleeping accommodation for 6 or more), needs an evacuation scheme approved by Fire and Emergency New Zealand (FENZ Act 2017, s 75 and 76); some buildings with sprinklers can be exempt. Trial evacuations every 6 months are the law for schools and early childhood centres; other buildings with a scheme hold 6-monthly trials, or train and assess staff at least every 6 months and hold trials when FENZ asks, and report the results to FENZ.
• Chef Hygiene predeterminadoExtinguishers, the fire alarm, exit signs, hood fire suppression and electrics: Chef Hygiene suggests dates you can change. They come from the Building Code, which we did not check for intervals.
• Orientación oficialEmergency: 111 for police, fire and ambulance.
