Our aim is to provide a "one stop solution" for building facilities services and advice. We supply a comprehensive range of H&S related services, which will ensure your building remains compliant with all current regulations and directives.
Sensors in fire alarms can gather dust or debris, and over time batteries go flat. Without a maintenance programme you have no warning or defence against fire. You will also jeopardise any associated fire insurance claim if you have failed to maintain your equipment and kept the necessary records. Employers must undertake a fire risk assessment. A designated member of staff responsible for health and safety is accountable for ensuring that the fire alarm is serviced and maintained. Employers are also required to ensure that, where fitted, any fire protection equipment is maintained to the relevant standard and that service records are kept.
Over time, fire extinguishers can deteriorate - they require regular maintenance to ensure that they deploy water, gas, chemicals or powder when needed. Without a maintenance programme you have no warning that the extinguisher isn't working, and therefore no defence against fire. Under the Fire and Rescue (Northern Ireland) Order 2006, and Fire Safety Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2010, employers are required to ensure that, where fitted, any fire protection equipment is maintained to the relevant standard, and that records are kept.
