There are many aspects of a trustworthy and reliable fire and safety system that all fire prevention companies must be aware of. A fire and safety alarm system that will function in the time of need, exactly as it is designed to must incorporate a comprehensive design, covering all areas with proper placement of sensors according to NFPA code guidelines, and other legal restrictions such as the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA).
When are Strobes Required
Experienced fire prevention companies are knowledgeable with strobe requirements, guiding a safe exit if the building loses power. Strobes are required in public areas where the hearing impaired may be such as restrooms, lobbies and hallways. Furthermore, strobes are also required in cafeterias, conference room, doctor offices and many other public places. These visual alerts let an individual know that there is danger, and they should exit the building.
Exit Plan
Exit plans should be visually located and easily accessible to all occupants of a building. Notifier® by Honeywell offers audible exit instructions which can be beneficial in high-rise buildings to prevent a panic, or on large complexes for clear instructions on where occupants should exit to safety.
Fire Alarm Testing
Once your fire alarm is designed specific to your structure and to all fire codes and regulations, it must be tested regularly for effectiveness. Smart panels will alert the user if a problem with connectivity or hardware arises, and can pinpoint the location of the problem. Detailed fire alarm testing is necessary to ensure that your system will function as expected in time of need.
Fire Alarm Monitoring
Once your fire and life safety alarm systems are in place and tested for effectiveness, reliable monitoring is the key to saving lives in time of need. High Rise Security Systems is a fire prevention company providing reliable monitoring 24/7/365.
