INTRODUCTION The safety of our guests and staff is an integral part of the hospitality industry. This manual has been developed for The sun island resort & spa' staff to establish an effective Fire Protection Preventative Maintenance Programme. The Term "Preventative" is to anticipate or to be in readiness for an occasion, or to act ahead of time. The Fire Protection Preventative Maintenance Programme, is a regularly scheduled maintenance and testing programme carried out by staff and contractors. It has been proven that frequent, regular Fire Protection Preventative Maintenance will provide the maximum levels of preparedness for fire equipment should its use become necessary. Fire Protection Preventative Maintenance is considered mandatory in all Starwood Hotels. This manual should be used in conjunction with the following manuals and guidelines; • Fire Safety Standards • Guidelines for Fire Detection, Alarm & Emergency Communication Systems (Appendix E of the Sheraton Fire Safety Standards) • Fire Suppression Systems Handbook (appendix F) • Environmental Health Safety & Security Loss control manual • The sun Fire Brigade Training Guide It is the responsibility of each Hotel Engineer to ensure that the Hotel has a copy of the above manuals. This maintenance programme has been written to coincide with The sun standards. The Hotel should possess and conform to any and all Standards required to be completed by the Authorities in which their Hotel is located, where they are more stringent than these requirements. As a minimum, all Hotels will comply with the minimum maintenance requirements as detailed in this manual. It is the responsibility of each Hotel Engineer to review their local codes, and to add to this manual, any requirements that are more stringent than those set out. In addition, please refer to the NFPA guidelines for more detailed instructions on maintenance function requirements. This can be found in Chapter 7 – Inspection, Testing and Maintenance of the NFPA Standards.
