The People Behind Your Fire Compliance

Managing Director

Matt Anderson

With 30 years of fire protection, design and installation experience, Matt is one of Queensland's premiere fire specialists.

Service Manager

Lachlan Hayes

Lachlan has built on nearly 15 years of experience as an Electrical Fitter Mechanic in the fire protection and safety systems industry, following his entry into commercial fire protection and electrical contracting back in 2012. In 2022 he accepted an outstanding six month mid career position in a high performance corporate environment to sharpen his focus on customer service and deliverables, before returning to Safe QLD Fire Protection & Electrical to keep the business at the forefront of commercial fire service delivery.

Project Manager

Jacob Thompson

Jacob is an expert in commercial fire protection with over 20 years of specialised experience in fire design, special hazards, gaseous systems and project management.
