Greetngs to all FSAI
fraternity!!
Change and new
beginings for the
Naton with the new
Modi Government.
On behalf of Fire &
Security Associaton of
India, I am very happy to
share the pride moment
for FSAI in bringing out another editon of FSAI
Buzz a bi-monthly newsleter.
With the emergence of Modis government, we can
for-see lot of development in Indian infrastructure
in all cites including development of mega & smart
cites across the country. In line with this idea, we
can see large number of high-rise buildings, gated
communites, state of art buildings compettve to
world class high-rise buildings similar to ones in the
developed countries such as US. This infrastructure
development requires us to give priority to Safety &
Security aspects such as fre protecton, surveillance
to the property and human life.
This becomes a major challenge meetng the latest
standards in designing and implementng by the
constructon industry. Meetng the environmental
friendly standards for a safe building design working
in tandem with architecture, electrical, plumbing
services will play a major role along with fre safety,
CCTV surveillance, automaton.
FSAI has been associated with engineering societes
involved in the building services, IGBC, ISHRAE
and IPA for supportng this integraton and moving
forward towards an integrated development.
FSAI has to look forward for providing proper
guidance in bringing out latest safety and security
standards by way of publishing building codes
and standards that are being developed and
implemented by developed countries meetng our
standards as per NBC guidelines suitable to Indian
environment.
FSAI has to play a challenge role to take the industry
in proper directon in meetng the demands through
their chapters across India.
The manufacturers in the life safety and fre
protecton industry also have to lend a helping hand
to FSAI in spreading the knowledge and necessity
of the fre safety, security & protecton against fre,
Burglary, human safety due to the increased usage
of high value electrical and mechanical gadgets and
equipment in all walks of life.
I congratulate the entre team of FSAI for having
taken up the task of publishing the news leter
FSAI Buzz for spreading and promotng the
knowledge in the feld of safety and security in the
country.
I wish all the FSAI chapters a great success in
promotng this noble cause for a safe and secure
living standards and to see FSAI reaches greater
heights playing important role in the countries
development.
