Fire Alarm Testing to Keep Your Systems Working Effectively
Fire alarm systems need regular attention throughout their working life. A combination of routine checks, scheduled professional servicing and prompt investigation of faults helps ensure the system continues to provide effective warning in the event of a fire.
Government fire safety guidance recommends that fire warning and detection systems are tested weekly, with periodic servicing and preventive maintenance carried out by a competent person. Guidance also recommends keeping records of testing, false alarms and maintenance activity.
Hollywell can provide a professional fire alarm testing and maintenance programme tailored to your site, helping you manage planned inspections while identifying faults requiring further attention.
