Fire Alarm Maintenance
Keeping your fire alarm system maintained is crucial to ensuring the safety of your household or business. Regular maintenance will ensure that your system is in proper working condition and can alert you in the event of a fire emergency. When it comes to fire safety, it’s important not to cut corners. That’s why the British Standard BS 5839 establishes specific guidelines for testing fire alarm systems in commercial premises.
How often should I test fire alarm system?
It is imperative that fire alarm systems in commercial premises are regularly tested to ensure they are fully operational and compliant with Fire Alarm Regulations. The British Standard BS 5839 specifies that all fire alarm systems in commercial settings should be tested weekly to identify possible system faults and major failures. Regular testing not only reduces the risk of fire damage and injury to building occupants, but it also ensures that your property is protected from the devastating effects of a fire.
Keep a record of all the tests.
It is important to have a formal record of the results of your weekly fire safety tests. Keeping a clear and concise record in a fire logbook ensures that any issues or deficiencies can be identified and addressed promptly. This record can also be valuable during future inspections by the local fire and rescue service or other recognised third parties. It is important that any faults or deficiencies are referred to a competent person for investigation and rectification to ensure the safety of all individuals in the area. By making the effort to maintain accurate records, you are taking a proactive step towards mitigating potential fire hazards and protecting your property and its occupants.
