SRB Technologies, Inc. (SRB) is the world leader in Self-Powered Emergency Lighting and Self-Powered Exit Signs. The company was the original commercial developer of the Self-Powered Tritium Light Source in the 1960s. As a facility that handles a nuclear substance, SRB Technologies receives several fire protection services from PLC to help it comply with CAN/CSA-N393-13, Fire Protection for Facilities that Process, Handle, or Store Nuclear Substances.
CAN/CSA-N393-13 requires an assessment of the fire protection program at least once every three years. PLC has provided auditing services to review the fire safety aspects of the Pembroke, ON, facility and determine compliance with the CAN/CSA-N393-13 Standard and other applicable Codes and Standards referenced therein. As part of the three-year audit cycle, PLC completes an annual site condition inspection to identify unmitigated fire hazards or other instances where the Fire Code or SRB Technologies’ internal procedures are not being followed. For a relatively small company, PLC has always been impressed with the robustness of SRB Technologies’ fire protection program.
In addition to the fire protection program audit activities, PLC has also produced other CAN/CSA-N393-13-required assessments, including the Fire Hazard Assessment, the Code Compliance Review, and the Fire Response Needs Analysis.
