In a nation undergoing rapid infrastructural and industrial expansion, the foundation of sustainable progress is safety. For over six decades, the name Haseen Habib has been synonymous with pioneering and delivering world-class fire protection and industrial safety solutions across Pakistan. Established on principles of honor, pride, and passion, Haseen Habib Trading is more than just a supplier; it is the nation’s largest importer, stockist, and installer of certified life fire safety equipment, serving as a critical partner to strategic defense organizations, government bodies, and major multinational corporations.

This extensive document details our comprehensive approach to total fire protection, integrating high-quality equipment, adherence to the Building Code of Pakistan (Fire Safety Provisions-2016), and a commitment to unparalleled after-sales service, which is essential in ensuring the integrity of life-saving systems. We aim to highlight how businesses can achieve full safety compliance, from purchasing certified fire extinguishers to implementing complex fire suppression and detection systems.

I. The Heritage of Safety: Commitment and Vision

Haseen Habib Corporation (Pvt.) Ltd. commenced operations in Lahore in 1965, growing from a small proprietorship to a third-generation, ISO 9001-certified powerhouse with headquarters in Karachi and full-service branches in Lahore and Rawalpindi/Islamabad. This legacy is rooted in the vision of its founder, Late Mr. Ata-ur-Rahman Barry, who passionately campaigned to spread fire safety awareness in the country when virtually none existed, even resorting to door-to-door sales of basic fire equipment.

A. Our Mission and Quality Assurance

Our mission is clear: "Protection of Lives & Property, by providing appropriate, efficient and cost-effective solutions and quality equipment in the field of Fire Fighting & Safety." This ethical commitment translates into practical steps:

1. ISO Certification: We operate under an internationally-accepted Quality Assurance System, holding ISO 9001 certification.

2. Benchmark Standards: All systems are designed, installed, and maintained according to stringent international benchmarks, primarily the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) codes and British Standards (BS), ensuring Pakistan’s industrial sector receives protection that rivals global best practices.

3. HSE Policy: Our operational philosophy is guided by a corporate Health, Safety, and Environment (HSE) policy, with the core objective of achieving three targets: ZERO ACCIDENT, ZERO PERSONAL INJURY, and ZERO PROPERTY LOSS OR DAMAGE TO THE ENVIRONMENT.

II. Navigating Pakistan’s Fire Safety Compliance Landscape

The regulatory environment for fire safety in Pakistan is increasingly stringent, particularly following the adoption of the Building Code of Pakistan (Fire Safety Provisions-2016). This code, benchmarked against NFPA 1 Fire Code 2015, makes minimum fire protection requirements mandatory for new and existing buildings, including commercial and industrial units.

A. Mandatory Fire Protection Requirements

Businesses, especially high-risk industries like Oil & Gas, Power Plants, Textiles, and High-Rise Buildings, must comply with the following essential provisions, all of which we specialize in delivering:

• Fire Extinguishers: Mandated presence of extinguishers in key areas, with the appropriate type (CO2 for electrical, Foam for liquids, Dry Chemical for multipurpose use). The fire extinguisher price in Pakistan should always be weighed against the certification and longevity of the product.

• Automatic Fire Detection and Alarm Systems: Installation of smoke and heat detectors connected to a system that provides audible and visual alarms. Our systems often utilize Intelligent Addressable Fire Detection technology for precise risk location.

• Fixed Fire Suppression Systems: For large premises, this includes:

  • Sprinkler Systems: Automatic activation upon detecting heat.

  • Fire Hydrant Systems: Critical for fire brigade access and large-scale control, requiring robust pumps like the ARB Fire Pumps assembled at our own facility.

  • Gas Suppression Systems (e.g., FM-200, Novec 1230): Non-water-based clean agents for protecting sensitive assets like data centers and control rooms, compliant with NFPA 2001 standards.

B. Evacuation and Structural Safety

Compliance also extends to life safety elements crucial for rapid evacuation:

• Emergency Exits and Signage: Clearly marked, unobstructed, and fitted with illuminated exit signs and durable emergency lights to function during power failures.

• Fire-Rated Doors: Necessary for compartmentalization, these doors delay the spread of fire and smoke for specified periods (e.g., 30 to 120 minutes), creating safe escape routes.

• Electrical Safety: The Code addresses electrical faults, a leading cause of fires, requiring high-quality wiring and protection for electrical panels.

III. Precision Equipment for Rapid Response

The quality of firefighting tools directly impacts emergency outcomes. We ensure that every product, from the smallest component to the largest system, meets the performance demands of a crisis.

A. The Versatile Fire Extinguisher Range

The fundamental role of a portable fire extinguisher cannot be overstated. We stock various specialized units:

• Dry Chemical Powder (DCP): Our most popular option for general-purpose risk mitigation.

• Carbon Dioxide (CO2): Essential for electrical hazards, server rooms, and labs, leaving no residue.

• Fire Ball Extinguisher: A low-maintenance, innovative solution designed for autonomous activation in unsupervised or high-risk areas like utility closets and vehicle engine compartments. The competitive fire ball fire extinguisher price in Pakistan makes it an excellent value proposition for preemptive defense.

• Wheeled Units: Large capacity (e.g., 50kg, 100kg) trolley-mounted extinguishers for industrial sites and refineries.
