Hotel Fire Alarms
 ITS
Fire specialise in the supply, fitting, commissioning and maintenance of Fire
Alarm Systems in Hotels, Buildings with Accommodation, and Commercial Buildings
in General.
To help here is a short précis of some of the responsibilities for business
people.
The new Fire Safety Order demands that the "Responsible Person" has a current
Fire Risk Assessment in place in which it will detail all such matters together
with the fitting and maintenance of:
The necessity for a working L1 or L2 Automatic Fire Detection and Alarm System
as per BS5839 standard and installed by a ‘competent person’.
 |
Fire Fighting Equipment such as
extinguishers etc
|
|
|
Emergency Lighting supplied and fitted
as per BS5266 standard
|
|
|
Signage for escape routes and
exits
|
|
|
Special Needs Guests must also
be catered for and the design of the AFD&A system must take
them into account.
|
|
|
Such systems are
certificated by the installer as a ‘competent person’ as
compliant and must be checked and maintained regularly
again with a ‘certificate’ of such checks being made.
|
|
|
Any faults or changes
to the premises should be immediately reported for
repair and alterations to the system to be put in
hand. Again certification from the ‘competent
person’ is required. |
The Fire Safety Order concerns itself mainly with the
safety of all people in or on the premises which are
your responsibility, and the provision of letting every
know at the earliest opportunity of a Fire having a
means for them to safely evacuate your premises.
After that responsibility has been fulfilled there is
also a further business need to minimise the damage to
your business and building by limiting as far as
possible the physical damage caused and to do this the
Brigade needs to be called automatically by your AFD&A
System using a Redcare autodial feature.
The earlier the Brigade arrive the more chance there is
of their gaining control of a fire, minimising damage to
the structure and minimising risk to themselves.
ITS Fire can help you fulfil your legal obligations
and probably save you money.
