Fire Safety in High-rise buildings.
If you are responsible for Fire safety or are a resident of a high-rise, multi-occupancy property you will be only too aware of the increased awareness of the need for enhanced fire detection and evacuation processes.
The former ‘stay put’ guidance is now regarded as unsafe and has been replaced by a ‘simultaneous evacuation’ strategy.
Many properties have deployed a waking watch service; this is a fire protection service and involves marshals patrolling to lookout for potential signs of a fire. They are also responsible for raising the alarm.
These services are costing property owners and residents thousands of pounds. A Waking Watch service can be replaced by a wireless Fire Detection System. This meets all the required standards and is quickly and easily installed. The total one-off cost of a Fire Detection System can be less than 10 weeks of a Waking Watch service.
The smoothly rounded hand-held unit will open up to 48,000 doors, including inside and outside doors, cupboards, gates and barriers of all kinds. If a transponder is lost, it can be blocked immediately. Changes in access authorisation can be quickly and flexibly programmed. It requires practically no servicing or maintenance: the high-performance battery lasts for eight to ten years, or around a million operations before it needs to be replaced.
