Document background
A Fire And Life Safety Assessment Report is a crucial document required by Malaysian regulations to ensure buildings meet necessary fire safety standards and protect occupant lives and property. It is typically prepared when commissioning new buildings, during major renovations, for periodic compliance reviews, or when required by insurance providers or regulatory authorities. The report combines technical evaluation of fire protection systems with compliance assessment against Malaysian legislation, including the Fire Services Act 1988, BOMBA guidelines, and relevant Malaysian Standards. It serves multiple purposes: demonstrating regulatory compliance, identifying safety gaps, providing improvement recommendations, and supporting insurance requirements. The document is particularly important in Malaysia's tropical climate and urban environment, where fire safety in high-rise buildings and densely populated areas is critical.
