To begin with, your commercial premises must have a reliable fire detection system to meet British Safety standards.
Regular servicing and maintenance is essential to ensure your business’s fire alarm system is reliable.
For instance, there are many reasons why your commercial fire alarm system may not be working correctly. This can include deterioration of components, building work or failing to keep up to fire alarm servicing and recommended testing procedures.
Not only will an adequate fire alarm system minimise risk to employees, it reduces false alarms and business disruption.
We understand that keeping up to fire alarm systems for commercial buildings can feel time consuming. It’s easy to forget or put off.
Fire alarm systems for commercial buildings typically consist of a FACP (fire alarm control panel). This is the nerve centre for prevention and detection of fire as it connects safety devices across the premises. For example, when system devices (such as smoke alarms, heat detectors etc) detect warning signs of fire such as smoke and heat, the devices will alert the FACP. The control panel can alert the emergency services, close doors, sound alarms and put prevention methods into action.
Furthermore, commercial fire alarm systems are known as Addressable or Conventional fire alarm systems. They can pinpoint a specific location or zone that contains the fire for quick and effective action by emergency services.
Your specialist electrician will advise you and recommend fire alarm systems for the specific requirements of your business.
It is important that you ask a commercially trained electrician with specialist knowledge of electrical compliance for your premises. Here at Volta Compliance, each of our electricians are graded with the JIB, an organisation that sets the standard for technical competence and customer service.

If your fire alarm system is at fault due to poor maintenance (for instance, if you do not seek regular servicing) your business may be classed as ‘non-compliant’. Not only can poor commercial fire alarm maintenance systems result in risk to your employees and premises, it can also make insurance claims difficult.
In order to meet safety compliance regulations, it is essential that your business has adequate commercial fire alarm systems installation.
