FIRE SYSTEMS & EMERGENCY LIGHTING

When fire strikes, you must be able to react immediately. Abatis Fire & Security can design, install and maintain fire systems and smoke detection systems that can identify the signs of a fire at the earliest possible stages and can pinpoint its location alerting you and other building occupants of the presence of the fire and emergency lighting that can aid the swift and safe escape of the building occupants in the event of fire or other emergency situations.

Different sensors detect a variety of fire situations from fast flaming blazes to slow, smouldering fires that can release poisonous gases. They can help you to reduce the risk of injury or death to employees and visitors as well as minimise damage to your property and disruption to your operations. Dependent upon risk, 24 hour monitoring ensures your property and people are protected at all times, 24 hours a day

The Impact of Fire

Few events have more of a disturbing and destructive impact than fire. As well as substantial property damage, injuries and the loss of lives, fire can severely disrupt your business for long periods of time

Fire statistics show that 80% of single site businesses that suffer a significant fire fail within the following 12 months. Valuable information, transaction data and customers’ files can be lost and further revenue while you restore your operations.

The Regulatory Reform Order

All companies with five employees or more must produce a documented fire risk assessment to establish that all the correct measures have been taken regarding fire prevention and detection. The requirement for businesses to have fire certificates was abolished.

The Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 and the Fire (Scotland) Act 2005, emphasises the importance of preventing fires and reducing risk. It is the responsibility of businesses and landlords to ensure the safety of occupants, employees and visitors alike.

The designated responsible person must conduct, or employ a suitably qualified person to conduct, a fire risk assessment and implement and maintain a fire safety plan.

A set of guides have been produced by the Communities and Local Government department. These advise you of how to conduct a fire risk assessment and put in to place any fire precaution or prevention measures.

Guides Introduction & Checklist
