FAQ: Fire Alarms

Are fire and security measures legally required?
There are strict legal requirements around fire safety and security measures in non-residential buildings under legislation like the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005. Building owners are responsible for carrying out risk assessments and ensuring the equipment is available to protect building occupiers.
How often should systems be maintained?
Fire alarms require professional servicing at least every 6 months, while fire extinguishers require an annual service alongside extended services every five to ten years. Security systems, like CCTV and access control systems, also require annual servicing.
In many cases, these needs can be met by a combination of scheduled maintenance, monitoring and predictive maintenance. With the right balance of these approaches, you can easily maintain compliance and intervene at crucial points to reduce downtime.
Who is responsible for ensuring fire safety and security?
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, a public building has a “responsible person” who is legally responsible for fire safety. This can be an employer, building owner or letting agent, for instance.
For smaller businesses without the available resource, it’s common to seek support from experts to identify risks, reduce hazards and choose the most appropriate safety systems.
What can a fire safety and security expert help with?
The right partner will understand the needs of a business your size and make sure you to meet all fire and safety requirements in line with compliance. And they’ll do it without introducing unnecessary complexity or exceeding budgets. They will identify and prioritise risk, design, install and maintain systems and make sure you understand, meet and can report on compliance.
By adding this end-to-end expertise to your team, you can simplify the task of keeping your people, properties and assets safe.
