Clear answers. Safer decisions.

Sprinkler systems, fire alarms, fire suppression systems and gas suppression systems are among the most common.

Many codes and regulations require regular inspection and testing—commonly monthly, six-monthly and annually, depending on the system, building and applicable requirements.

A fire alarm is a complete system of components such as smoke detectors, heat detectors and manual call points. A smoke alarm is a single device that detects smoke and sounds an alarm.

An Emergency Warning and Intercommunication System helps communicate clear warnings and evacuation instructions throughout a building using speakers, control equipment and emergency communication points.

Planned maintenance helps identify faults, damaged components and performance issues before they become larger problems. It also supports reliable operation and appropriate record keeping.

Dust, contamination, steam, poor detector placement, building works, damaged devices and electrical faults can all contribute. A qualified technician can investigate the cause and recommend a practical remedy.

Regular inspection and testing by a qualified professional is the best way to confirm performance. Malfunctions and false alarms should be addressed promptly.

Evacuate immediately and call emergency services. Do not use lifts, and follow the evacuation procedures set by your building management.
