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The former ‘stay put’ guidance is now regarded as unsafe and has been replaced by a ‘simultaneous evacuation’ strategy.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 AlertSystems External Deterrent System is ideal for Yards, Compounds and Car Parks, almost all business with vulnerable external areas. The system is designed to detect and deter intruders before they even try to enter your premises.
The External Deterrent System pre-programmed phases:
Initial Warning
External detection sensors are activated by the movement of intruders in the protected area. The first level is to activate ultra-bright white-light led floodlights. These instantly illuminate the scene and most unwelcome visitors are immediately deterred.
The Verbal Warning
Any intruders who remain within the protected areas of the site will trigger the second level of activation and the system broadcasts a strong verbal warning, reinforcing the impression to the intruders they’re under observation. The deterrent is re-enforced with floodlights repeatedly flashing on and off.
Full Alert
The intelligent control panel and on-site sensors are continually analysing the intruder activity. Those ignoring the verbal warning and floodlights will bring the system to “Full Alarm” status with sirens and strobe lighting. Once the system detects that the premises are secure and free from unwelcome visitors, the whole system automatically re-sets itself without the need for you or your nominated keyholders to attend.
