Fire Alarm Testing

Know your Legal requirements
Fire Precautions (Workplace) Regulations 1997 (As Amended 1999) require any business with 5 or more employees to carry out a written Risk Assessment and have an Emergency plan.

Failure to undertake and hold a written Risk assessment is a Criminal Offence.

Additionally to workplaces, other premises may also be subject to other Regulations that place further special requirements particularly if the general Public may be at Risk. Examples of these are Hotels, places used for the purpose of Public Entertainment’s, licensed premises & restaurants.

Should I carry out a Risk assessment?

Whether a Fire Alarm System has been previously installed or your premises does not have a Fire Alarm or any procedure, it is a requirement by law that the Risk assessment is undertaken.

Emergency Lighting

Whether you already have a testing and maintenance programme in place or are starting from scratch, we are able to help you fulfil your safety obligations by providing a reliable and cost effective inspection and testing service.

For the majority of clients, we provide annual inspection, testing and certification of emergency lighting. We use fully qualified electricians, experienced in the testing of emergency lighting. We can also supply standard or bespoke log books, so that following the full annual test, a designated member of your staff can quickly and easily perform monthly checks using an easy to follow (tick box style) log book. 

Our inspection and testing procedures include the following:

• Luminaire duration testing
• Cleaning of diffusers
• Battery charging functional check
• Labelling of luminaires
• Supply of test results and/or log books
