Fire Alarm Testing
What is it?
A functional fire alarm system is a vital safety measure in any workplace. As outlined in the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must ensure the premises are equipped with appropriate fire alarms and detectors.
A well-maintained fire alarm system provides early warnings that save lives and help firefighters limit property damage.
Why do we need it?
Over time, fire alarm components can degrade:
Smoke detectors may lose sensitivity.
Batteries in control panels can weaken.
General faults can develop, leading to false alarms or undetected fires.
Regular testing and maintenance are essential to ensure your system remains reliable and compliant with safety regulations.
For more details, see the government's fire safety guidance.
