Many businesses and organisations are required by law to install and maintain an
appropriate fire alarm system on their premises. We can offer you the cover you need
to meet the requirements of current EU guidelines, BS 5839 Standards, your local Fire
Officer and that of your insurance company. Whether you need a basic system or a complex analogue addressable system, we can find the best solution for you. we can offer you:
Risk Assessment If you employ more than 5 people you should be aware of the Fire precautions regulations and the Regulatory reform (Fire Safety) order. These rules require that every organisation with five or more people should carry out an assessment of the fire risks in the same way you undertake health and safety assessments in order to maintain a safe working environment. These requirements include but are not limited to: Carrying out a fire risk assessment The provision of fire fighting and fire detection equipment An effective fire action plan Adequate means of escape Staff training and fire safety awareness Appointing a responsible person It is an offence not to have a fire risk assessment; you may also find that your insurance company will not cover you if you have not carried out this assessment even if you hold a fire certificate. Firesec Limited can help you with this assessment, by providing you with recommendations and quotations for automatic and manual fire alarm systems, fire extinguishers, emergency lighting and signage, training and advice on exit routes and action plans. Fire Alarm Systems In its simplest form a fire alarm system will consist of manual break glass call points adjacent to the exits (known as a type M system), adequate sounders throughout the protected area and a control panel near to the exit. Automatic systems (known as L or P type) will consist of smoke and heat detectors and will be installed in vulnerable areas and may have ancillary equipment such as door releases etc these systems will be of a ‘conventional type’ whereby detectors are grouped together in areas known as zones typically 1-8 zones. These systems are designed for small to medium size premises. Analogue addressable systems are designed for larger and more complex applications and each individual detector and call point on the system will be identified by software control. These systems will have printers, network compatibility for pc based control and able to integrate into a building management system so that for example if there was a fire it would be able to release fire door closers, activate roof vents and fans, shut down lifts activate voice evacuation and PA systems, shut down gas supplies etc. All the above systems can be monitored at our Alarm receiving centre who will action the appropriate authorities. We will provide as part of our survey and assessment, a quotation to install your fire alarm system to British Standards 5839 along with a maintenance program suitable for the environment in which it is installed. Our Engineers have a vast knowledge of systems and are constantly kept up to date with regular product and legislation training. You can be sure of a quality service right from the start.  |
