    User checks
    All users of electrical equipment are expected to check it prior to use to ensure it is visually safe.
    All Team Members are trained how to inspect electrical equipment using Training Shorts 1.10 and trained that defects must be reported to their Manager.
    Multi-adaptors
    The use of un-fused multi-adaptors is not allowed due to the potential for socket overloading and fire risks.
    Any extension lead must be a 13 Amp fused gang socket that plugs into the wall with a varying length flex to the adaptor sockets.

Fire Alarm

  • Fire Alarm System Category

  • Manual Fire Alarm System
    These are the least sophisticated of systems, which rely on the building’s occupants to detect a fire and provide a warning to others. When a fire is discovered, employees must activate the alarm manually, in order to alert everybody else in the building to the danger.

    A typical example of a manual fire alarm system is a series of break glass units, which are installed at each point of exit in a building. This allows those escaping a fire to raise the alarm as they leave the danger zone.

    Manual fire alarm systems can be effective but due to reliance on individuals, it means that there can be an increased risk of employee and visitor safety, especially if the site is not highly populated with few people to raise an alarm.

  • L1 All Areas
    This is the most comprehensive fire alarm system, which features detectors in all areas of a building where a fire could feasibly start. Detectors are linked up to a centralised alarm system which alerts the whole building should a fire break out.

    The objective of this setup is to ensure that inhabitants are given the earliest possible warning, should an emergency occur.

    L1 Fire Aalrm System.JPG
  • L2 - Defined Areas in addition to L3
    Fire alarm systems that fall into this category feature automatic detectors in all rooms that form part of an escape route, including corridors. Detectors also need to be installed in all high-risk rooms, such as kitchens, boiler rooms and areas with heavy plant machinery.

    L2 systems are effective at providing an early warning to occupants beyond the source of the fire and those working in high risk areas. Examples of properties that typically employ this system include factories or medium sized residential premises.

    L2 Fire Aalrm System.JPG
  • L3 - Escape Routes & Rooms Onto Escape Routes
    Standard life protection systems feature detectors in all escape routes and rooms that open onto an escape route. The objective of this system is to ensure that all inhabitants of the building are given enough warning to escape a fire, before their exit is impeded by the presence of flames, smoke or toxic fumes.

    This category of fire alarm system is typically adopted in regular sized office blocks and commercial buildings that have flights of stairs.
    It would be the ideal standard for Hotel type accommodation as a minimum

    L3 Fire Aalrm System.JPG
  • L4 - Escape Routes
    An L4 category fire alarm system consists of detectors within escape route areas only, such as in corridors and stairways. Any circulation areas that make up part of the escape passage should also be fitted with a detector when the site is classed within this fire alarm category.

    Commercial properties that generally adopt this category of system are those that have a lower level of risk.

    L4 Fire Aalrm System.JPG
  • L5 - Defined Specific Areas
    L5 fire alarm category systems are those that are installed to tackle a specific fire risk in a certain area of a building. For example, if there is a room in a building that poses an exceptional hazard because of the items stored there or business activities carried out there.

    An L4 category system may be appropriate for the building in general but an L5 system will recognise the level of risk presented.

    L5 Fire Aalrm System.JPG
  • P1 - Full Building Protection
    A P1 fire alarm system involves installing detectors in all areas of the building. The objective of a system like this is to protect buildings that are critical to the operations of a business.

    By implementing maximum protection across a whole site, those in charge of fire safety can ensure that any fire that breaks out is detected and neutralised as quickly as possible. This lowers the risk of damage and disruption and in turn, the financial impact that a fire could inflict on a company.

  • P2 - High Risk Area Building Protection
    In a category P2 fire alarm system, fire detectors are installed in high risk areas only. Whilst a system like this does not provide the same level of cover as a P1 solution, it does provide early detection for the most likely sources of a fire.

    This early detection will decrease the time it takes for the fire services to arrive on the scene and will help to minimise any damage to the property and losses to the business
