FIRE ALARM DETECTION

First Response Fire Safety UK Ltd can provide you with the correct fire alarm system for your individual building requirements from design stages to installation and commissioning of the system. An automatic fire alarm system is designed to detect the unwanted presence of a fire by monitoring environmental changes associated with combustion. In general, a fire alarm system is classified as either automatically activated, manually activated or both. We can also service your system at regular intervals as recommended in the British Standard code of practice (BS5839 -12002).

 


EMERGENCY LIGHTING

emergency lightingAn emergency light is a battery powered device that comes on automatically when a building experiences a power outage. The batteries are kept charged by the buildings mains power supply. There are two main types of emergency lighting, firstly the "maintained" unit which remains illuminated and works via the mains. Should the mains power fail, this unit will stay illuminated for at least 1 to 3 hours. The second type is the "non maintained" unit which is not ordinarily illuminated but will illuminate should the mains power fail.

We are able to supply and install both types in line with your properties requirements ensuring you comply with the guidance of your fire risk assessment. We can also provide you with the required maintenance of these products which should conform to the current British Standard BS5266 & BS5588 providing two visits per annum.

 


FIRE RISK ASSESSMENTS

risk assessmentsUnder the New Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 which became Law on the 1st October 2006, it is now mandatory to undertake a written fire risk assessment and to maintain this as a fully working document. Risk assessments should be carried out annually. The working document should be updated in the event of any changes to your premises.

We can undertake your fire risk assessment and provide you with a written report inclusive of our F.R.A.M.S document. We understand from working with our customers that this document can be daunting to work with and address therefore we offer as part of our service relevant guidance on how to work with the document and its recommendations in the most cost effective way whilst ensuring you are in compliance.
