Reduce


False Alarms every second counts


In healthcare properties, particularly hospitals and care homes, false or unwanted alarms can cause huge disruption. Vulnerable patients are particularly at risk and could be placed in a potentially life-threatening situation in the event of an evacuation procedure.


ADT Fire & Security has developed a whitepaper on ‘How to reduce false and unwanted fire alarms in the healthcare environment’. The paper takes a comprehensive look at the critical steps we believe you should take to prevent the pain and disruption that a false alarm can cause.


Our Whitepaper includes advice on:


■


The importance of integrating a false alarm strategy into your fire risk assessment


■


Ensuring your system design and technology suits your environment


■


Why you need to ensure your appointed person is up to date with best practice ■


How carrying out effective training of everyday users can reduce potential for human error
