Fire Alarm false alarms

A guide and advice on reducing false alarms in premises is now being considered by Fire Systems Ltd. The guide will incorporate both wired and wireless fire alarm systems.

The ‘white paper’, Reducing Unwanted Fire alarm Signals within premises will be designed to help fire safety managers and others involved in fire alarm management and fire safety. It will offer advice on integrating the management of unwanted fire signals into fire risk assessments, guidance on relevant good practice and standards, and a section on fire alarm maintenance to help reduce false alarms.

The document will also include an update on potentially suitable wireless fire alarm systems and technologies, some of which are available from Fire Systems Ltd.

"In business properties and particularly large buildings, unwanted fire signals can cause huge disruption to the day-to-day running of the facility," said Will Mason, fire product marketing manager at Fire Systems Ltd. "The aim of the new whitepaper is to help ensure those responsible for building facilities have as much guidance and information as possible at their disposal to be able to provide a safer environment."

We are finding the sudden increase in the supply and installation of wireless fire alarm systems are enabling us to liaise well in advance with the clients and advise all parties of reducing false alarms.
