Fire Safety Manager Services in Singapore
Under Singapore’s Fire Safety Act, certain buildings and premises are required to appoint a Fire Safety Manager (FSM) to oversee fire safety measures. The Singapore Civil Defence Force (SCDF) mandates FSM appointments for commercial buildings, industrial premises, and other designated buildings to ensure fire safety compliance and protect occupants.
Sage Shield Safety Consultants provides comprehensive fire safety management services, including FSM appointment support, fire safety audits, fire drill planning, and emergency response plan development. Our experienced fire safety professionals ensure your building meets all SCDF requirements.
What Is a Fire Safety Manager?
A Fire Safety Manager is a competent person appointed by the building owner or occupier to manage and oversee all fire safety measures in a building. The FSM is responsible for:
- Conducting regular fire safety inspections of the building
- Ensuring fire protection systems (alarms, sprinklers, extinguishers) are maintained and functional
- Planning and conducting fire drills at least once every six months (or as required by SCDF)
- Maintaining fire safety records and documentation
- Coordinating with SCDF on fire safety matters
- Implementing the Fire Safety Emergency Plan (FSEP)
- Training building occupants on fire safety procedures
Who Needs a Fire Safety Manager?

- Commercial buildings: Office towers, shopping centres, and mixed-use developments
- Industrial premises: Factories, warehouses, and production facilities
- Hotels and hospitality: Hotels, hostels, and other accommodation facilities
- Healthcare facilities: Hospitals, nursing homes, and clinics
- Educational institutions: Schools, universities, and training centres
