Fire Alarms
To meet the legal requirements for life safety and duty of care to employees, visitors, contractors and members of the public, most premises are required to have a means of giving warning in the event of a fire.
A fire alarm system installed within your premises is the most common and effective means of achieving this.
Where only a few staff are at work and they are all in the same area, word of mouth can be adequate to raise the alarm. In somewhat larger businesses a hand-bell or rotary gong may be needed to ensure that the alarm is audible throughout the premises above the day-to-day background noise level. This manual equipment should be located on escape routes and if it is not immediately noticeable a suitable sign should be provided.
New electric fire alarm installations should comply with BS 5839. The break glass fire alarm call points should be situated on escape routes. The bells or warblers should be distinctive with regard to any background noises in the workplace.
Workplace Fire & Safety are able to install fire alarm systems that are appropriate to the risk and the occupancy of the building.
Workplace Fire & Safety can arrange installation complying to British and European standards to meet your needs.
