Essential equipment protection to reduce false alarms and save lives

Firesafe have published a four page guide presenting a range of products to help increase business productivity.

Recent statistics from the Conservatives suggest that fire alarm callouts cost the tax payer over £4m and based on the average fire and rescue service this equates to a staggering £2,289 per callout.

Schools and colleges loose up to one million teaching and training hours due to the negligence and misuse of fire alarms, to ensure the safety of all pupils as evacuation procedures have to be followed upon every activation of the fire alarm whether it is a real fire situation or a false alarm.

The novelty of breaking glass call points by the children mean that the false fire alarms occur, causing disruption to the school and attendance by the local fire brigade. Not only does this occur in schools but also recent cases include psychiatric homes, universities, hospitals and unstaffed public areas such as cinema auditoriums.

By installing essential protection equipment, Firesafe can minimise the statistics and potentially save lives. A four-page document is now available from Firesafe presenting the range of products such as stoppers and cages, that will help reduce false alarms and increase productivity within your business.
