Fire and Life Safety
The Club is equipped with a comprehensive Fire & Life safety system, which includes the Automatic Fire Detection and Alarm system, Fire Protection System together with Emergency Response Procedures. The Automatic Fire Detection and Alarm system consists of addressable smoke detectors and monitoring devices installed throughout the Club, which are connected to the main fire alarm panel at the Fire Command Centre. Staff at the Fire Command Centre will respond immediately to the activation of any device. The Fire Protection system includes automatic sprinklers together with fire hydrants and hose reels installed throughout the Club. These systems are approved by the Fire Department and regularly tested by our Fire & Life Safety Manager to an approved programme. The Club is also equipped with a tailored system to protect specific areas. This includes the Hi-Expansion Foam System in our Dry Boat Store and the Foam Monitor Gun System at the Wah Fu Fuel Station. The Aberdeen Marina Club has an established, comprehensive Emergency Response Plan, which includes the Emergency Response Team (ERT) and emergency management procedures. The ERT is on standby 24 hours daily, and led by the Club’s Security and Engineering shift manager. All ERT members are fully trained in fire-fighting procedures, first aid and incident handling. Fire Drills are conducted frequently to an approved programme. In addition, a full evacuation drill is conducted twice yearly with the participation of all Club staff.
