Course Details
Many residential and commercial buildings today struggle to comply with fire safety requirements enforced by the Fire and Rescue Department of Malaysia (BOMBA). Buildings classified as “Premis Ditetapkan” under the Fire Services Act 1988 (Amendment 2020) must maintain adequate fire prevention, fire protection and fire-fighting facilities to ensure the safety of occupants.
However, many building owners and management teams face challenges in understanding the technical requirements, compliance procedures and approval processes required by BOMBA. As a result, buildings may face repeated inspections, non-compliance notices, penalties, or delays in obtaining approval.
This practical CPD course is designed to guide building owners, property managers and facility teams through the key requirements needed to fast-track BOMBA approval. Participants will gain a clear understanding of fire safety compliance requirements, common gaps found during inspections, and the proper procedures to prepare buildings for successful approval.
Learning Outcome:
- Explain the BOMBA regulatory framework and compliance obligations for buildings classified under “Premis Ditetapkan”.
- Identify the essential fire prevention, fire protection and fire-fighting systems required for building compliance.
- Recognise common deficiencies in fire safety systems that may lead to inspection failure or delayed approvals.
- Prepare the necessary documentation and application forms required for BOMBA approval.
