Fire Alarms for Business Premises

Fire alarms are essential in any business premises and protect property as well as the lives of employees, attendees or customers. But they’re more than that – they are an integral component of good business and legal hygiene.

Early Warning Saves Lives:

When there is a fire, time becomes very important. Fire alarms trigger in seconds, calling for an evacuation of the premises. An early warning of one minute is the difference between an incident and a catastrophe.

Legal Requirements:

Almost all business premises in the UK are required by law to have a suitable fire detection and alarm system installed. The type, and complexity, will depend on the size of building; its layout; and how it is to be used. You also need to undertake regular fire risk assessments, and make sure your alarms are appropriate for the building (if smoke or heat detectors) and kept in good working order.

Protecting Assets and Business Continuity:

An active fire alarm system might alert the authorities sooner to further reduce damage. It will safeguard not only your hardware but also limit downtime so that you can bounce back easier after an incident.

Employee Confidence and Responsibility:

This reassures staff that your fire alarms are in existence and, being tested to ensure they feel they have the best protection possible. This also shows your dedication to the health and welfare of employees, which can improve morale and confidence.

Insurance Compliance:

Fire alarm system inspections are typically required for all fire alarms/smoke detectors even if they are not monitored, as most insurance companies demand. Not following these may affect your cover, or claim during a fire.

Proper fire alarm systems are so much more than ticking a box – they’re your people, your business and both of their futures in one product.
