Fire Alarms – A Legal Requirement for Businesses

APE fire & Security highly recommends that users get in touch to discuss the servicing of the fire alarm system

There are very limited situations in which a fire alarm and fire detection system are going to be required so it’s more than likely that users are going to legally need a fire alarm system.

If users have a fire alarm system present business premises then it’s a legal requirement to arrange for regular testing, daily visual inspections for panels or termin,als and weekly testing of the alarm system itself. If users have a current system then APE fire & Security highly recommend that users get in touch to discuss the servicing of the fire alarm system.

Arranging for fire alarm system servicing

Fire alarm servicing is highly recommended to be carried out by fully trained, qualified, and experienced fire & security companies such as Ape's team.

It’s recommended that this is carried out at least once per year and these tests are recorded as per the logbook and log requirements. 

Monitored Fire Alarm Systems

Monitored fire alarm and fire detection systems are ideally suited because they can reduce the number of false alarms, ensures that users' system is monitored by fire alarm specialists and that their business has 24/7 security in terms of the risks posed by fire.

Some of the major industries that can benefit from having a monitored fire alarm system are as follows:

  • Industries that have a high fire risk such as industrial industries using chemicals or carrying out other manufacturing as well as catering or cooking facilities that are at high risk of fires developing.
  • Businesses that have a large amount of flammable inventory or they have a huge amount of expensive assets within their business premises such as machinery for example. These will benefit from both monitored security and fire services.
  • Any other business that is concerned about the risks of fire and wants to enjoy peace of mind that their business premises are protected from fire.
