Whenever you have a fire alarm system installed, or if you are in a commercial property that currently has a system already fitted then you must have it serviced annually in order to make certain it is in good and effective functioning order. An annual service ensures it operates the instant that it needs to and also means you will not have frequent false alarms that can be a huge interruption and cost to your company. Persistent false alarms can lead to staff and occupants not responding quickly when the alarm system goes off and this could be dangerous if there is actually smoke or fire in a property.

Most Common Causes Concerning False Fire Alarms

• • • Smoke or heavy steam in an area setting off the alarm
    • Issues with your fire system including connections, wires, sensors and instrument panel
    • Manual break glass call point being activated inadvertently or even maliciously. False alarms are rarely raised as a result of malfunctioning call points
    • Problems with your alarm system (electrical wiring and connections)
    • Improperly maintained or irregularly serviced fire system

Having your fire alarm system serviced as well as regularly inspected by an expert will always keep your fire system in effective working order and this is essential.

Elite Fire & Security alarm servicing solutions make certain your system is working as it should do so in the event that a fire alarm sounds your property can be evacuated quickly. As your fire expert, We will help you to ensure you always keep within the fire regulations including inspecting your escape routes.

How Will I Know If My Company Needs A Fire Alarm System?

All companies need to have a named ‘Responsible Person’ that makes sure that any actions because of a fire risk assessment are carried out and all necessary action is taken to protect against fires, injury or death if a fire develops. All businesses must undertake a yearly fire assessment as a component of their Health & Safety requirements and it has to be logged when the business employs more than 4 people.

Not all businesses need to legally have an integrated fire alarm system. A domestic fire alarm and carbon monoxide detector could be fitted by yourself if it is not really a legal requirement to have one.

The Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 details all the things you need to know as a business in regard to fire safety. It is a lengthy document but as your fire professionals, our experts can clarify the main points and summarise the legal commitments of your company along with the things you should consider.

Rationales Your Business May Not Need A Fire Alarm System

• • • Your business building is single-storey
    • Your commercial property is small in size and open plan, and smoke, heat and fire are easily observable
    • In the event that a fire starts and a warning concerning a fire is shouted it can be heard by everybody within the property and from every area and room in the property
    • There are no vulnerable individuals within your business property (children under the age of 18. the elderly or the disabled)
    • You never undertake higher fire risk activities
    • You do not store or work with any high-risk chemicals and substances that are susceptible to catching fire

You must always refer to the specifics in The Regulatory Fire Reform and, or employ a respectable and professional fire assessment company like Elite Fire & Security who will assess your business and, or property and advise you regarding any reasons why you should or if you do not need a fire alarm system, referring to the corresponding points in The Regulatory Fire Reform.

Landlord Requirements For Fire & Carbon Dioxide Alarms

As of 1st October 2015, landlords must ensure that fire and carbon monoxide detectors are installed in the required locations in their rented properties. As a minimum requirement, the regulations state that smoke detectors/alarms should be mounted on each and every floor of the property and a carbon monoxide gas warning device in every area featuring a solid fuel-burning appliance.

Business Fire Alarm Systems

Business fire alarm systems are the same in basic principle in that they detect smoke, heat, and fire automatically, as well as if anyone breaks the glass at an emergency fire point the alarm will sound. Many professional systems feature remote signalling which notifies the occupants of the property as well as the emergency fire services by using a central service team,  meaning the fire services are dispatched instantly.

Which Fire Alarm System Should You Install?

It will depend on entry and exit points, if it’s single or multi-storey, exactly where escape routes are and if there are enough of them. These and other factors are the crucial elements that  Elite Fire & Security experts can advise you of.

This will aid you to determine whether or not your current fire alarm system satisfies the requirements of the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, or if any work needs to get done.

Important Fire Alarm Questions for Business And Business Commercial Property Owners

• • • Have you reviewed your fire risk assessment within the last year?
    • Have all of your staff members had their fire safety training in the last 12 months?
    • Do you have your system serviced and maintained by a professional specialist routinely?
    • When was your fire system installed and is it still fit for purpose for your business and property?
    • When did you last have a fire drill exercise with chronicled actions as a result of it?

Domestic Fire Alarm Systems

If your home is on the ground floor or single storey then normally one smoke and carbon monoxide detector suffice in order to give you an early alert of smoke or fire. You need to always be able to hear their alarms in any location of your home and if you can not at that point you should install more. In the case that you have a two or triple-storey residential property then you should have the alarms fitted on every floor and once again assess you can easily hear them in any room of your property when they are set off. You should perform a check on them monthly to ensure the alarms sound and replace any batteries on a regular basis. A number of alarms are connected to your mains electricity and some are battery-operated so testing on a regular basis will alert you to any problems with either.

It is advised that home fire and carbon monoxide alarms are positioned outside of every distinct sleeping area and in the immediate vicinity of any bedrooms. They need to be mounted on the wall or ceiling according to the detector’s guidelines.

If you feel that you need to have more than a smoke and carbon dioxide detector in your home then contact Elite Fire & Security as soon as possible and we can help.

Commercial Intruder Alarms Installation, Routine Maintenance & Repair

An intruder or burglar alarm can provide protection to your business inside and out and keep your company running without interruption whilst also protecting your staff, clients and brand name. Any type of theft or perhaps vandalism causes substantial interruption and expense to the property whilst you arrange repair work, recuperate inventory and communicate with insurers.

Safeguarding your property and commercial property with a professional commercial intruder alarm system will certainly decrease the possibility of planned robbery and lower the probability of any type of ad hoc attempts too. Criminals are much less prone to target buildings with an alarm as they will likely prefer a fast and noiseless entry where they are less likely to get caught.

Commercial Intruder Alarms Features

• • • It is widely known that intruders are going to choose a commercial property without a security system or an old-fashioned system instead of running the risk of entering a commercial property with a recently integrated alarm system
    • If your business holds stock, specialist hardware, staff member possessions as well as personal and confidential data then an intruder alarm system will lower the likelihood of your property being broken into
    • An alarm system provides you peace of mind 24 hours a day, 365 days a year as you know if no one is at your business or property then your alarm will sound in the event that anyone accesses it who is unauthorised
    • An alarm system usually makes team members feel safer as it can be set at specified access points when they are working in addition to decreasing the concern of them entering into an uninhabited property
    • A professionally fitted alarm may reduce your insurance fees whether it is a business, commercial property or home. In many cases, the sum invested in a monitored alarm system may be offset simply by a reduction in your insurance premium and it is absolutely worth getting in touch with your insurance company to check or consulting other insurance companies when your renewal is due
    • A property with an integrated alarm system is more likely to sell compared to a commercial property without one
    • Professional alarm systems can be automated and show you which access point has actually been entered
    • Professional alarm systems can be linked to the emergency services therefore if the alarm system is triggered the police will be called to the property immediately
    • An alarm system will notify neighbours and also passers-by if there has actually been a forced entry and the police might be contacted very quickly rather than you discovering when the next man or woman enters your property
    • Not all companies have someone there each day or even every week, some commercial properties are used to store items or stock that are essential to your business.
    • In these scenarios, a commercial intruder alarm offers you peace of mind that your property is secure when no one is there
    • A number of commercial intruder alarm systems feature cameras and motion sensors that alert you if an individual is inside or outside of your property. This means you will be alerted that someone is at your property for you to investigate well before there is a chance of any break-in
    • Monitoring systems that are compliant with UK law are suitable for immediate police response. The time that may be saved by connecting straight to the monitoring centre can mean the big difference between catching the criminal or arriving too late. Only approved security companies can install police response systems

Types of Commercial Intruder Alarms

Depending upon your needs, there are different types of alarms readily available and the one you opt for will depend on the nature of your business and the property and belongings you are protecting. Elite Fire & Security can advise you of the very best solution for you and your business or commercial property and can incorporate separate security systems Wotton-under-Edge to ensure optimal security.

Remote Monitoring and Domestic Intruder Alarms – These alarm systems can be arranged so that a call centre monitors your premises 24 hours a day. A signalling system will systematically contact your call centre in the case that the alarm system is set off. The call centre will then get in touch with the key holders and the police if you have a Police Response system. This can work in 3 separate ways;

Keyholder – when the alarm is set off, the alarm receiving centre will contact your chosen keyholders.

Text Alert – when the alarm is activated, a text message is sent to notify your elected contacts of an invasion

Police Monitoring – the police will be alerted through the alarm receiving centre if your alarm is set off

Wireless Intruder Alarm Systems – Wireless systems enable you to install sensors, cameras, beams and motion detectors around your property that alert you the moment something or somebody is detected. Alarm systems such as these are fantastic if you have a number of entry points because the system will inform you regarding which sensors, cameras, beams and motions have been disturbed.

Audible Intruder Alarm – a loud alarm and flashing strobe lights to draw attention. Intruders will be alerted to such systems, however, they are mostly unmonitored key holders and the police will not be informed except if a member of the public calls to report a disturbance. For that reason, they are not always the most suitable option for commercial properties as they depend on neighbours or passers-by noticing and reporting the disturbance as well as some seasoned burglars being undaunted by the alarm and flashing lights.

    • Key Fob Entry Access Control Systems
    • Card Entry Access Control Systems
    • Fingerprint Entry Access Control Systems
    • Retina Entry Access Control Systems
    • RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) Entry Access Control Systems

Keypad Entry Access – This form of access control system utilises a keypad with a numerical keypad for entering and exiting. Businesses and homeowners can change the numeric code at any time if necessary.

Key Fob Entry Access – This is when somebody who has been given permission to access a property or an area makes use of a wireless remote control key fob to open the entry point, much like a car key fob. The fob is battery-operated.

Card Entry Access – Access to an access point or door is controlled by a keycard which contains a security token. A mounted keycard reader opens and closes the door when the card is tapped against the reader or swiped through a swipe reader.

Fingerprint Entry Access – Biometric (fingerprint and retina) entry access control systems are growing in appeal because they are considered more secure due to the fact that the entry code, fob or card can not be passed on to anyone who isn’t authorised. A fingerprint entry access control system allows authorised individuals to gain access easily while helping prevent unauthorised persons from doing so.

Retina Entry Access – Biometric (retina and fingerprint) entry access control systems are an expanding market with lots of organisations using them due to the fact that they are viewed as more secure access systems. The entry code, fob or card can not be passed on to anyone who isn’t authorised and only allows access to authorised individuals.

RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) Entry Access – Access control systems that use RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) allow entry to authorised people. Radio waves are sent out by the RFID control reader, and radio waves are sent out by the RFID tags (cards/fobs). The moment the card is within range, the antenna within it captures the waves and broadcasts a message that contains a unique number from the chip, which permits access.

Access control door systems have the same purpose of permitting or refusing entry or exit but they do so in different ways. You can have an access control door system in a business property or home, or if you have land that is protected by secure fencing and gateways which enables you to manage who enters. The systems can be designed and fitted to doors, gates, barriers, turnstiles and a lot more.

The system you decide on will depend on your property and security requirements. Elite Fire & Security will conduct a full security assessment of your site and get to know your requirements and afterwards recommend the most ideal solution for you and your finances.

As opposed to an access control door system, an intruder alarm will not prevent someone from entering a building or area, it will merely warn you or others that the area has been accessed without your permission.
