FIRE & ELECTRICAL SAFETY
WHAT’S ON OFFER Siemens has developed its own solution to the problem with fire detection systems that deliver full protection across all buildings and decrease the risk of false alarms. They are designed to operate in demanding environmental conditions where immediate and accurate fire detection is vital to life safety and business continuity.
Each smoke, flame, heat and carbon monoxide detector is configured with a set of parameters for each location. Even before smoke is visible, dual wavelength technology detects minute smoke particles and will provide an instant fire alert. Importantly, it also determines false fire phenomena due to issues such as toasters, poor housekeeping, airborne particles, welding, humidity and temperature change, and will not alarm in these instances.
It is vital that manufacturers and installers are trained to identify and assist with customer requirements, risks and business operations. Engineering teams must be fully qualified to interpret customer specifications, CDM requirements, relevant legislation and British Standards, as well as the impact on health, safety and the environment. In particular they should be fully trained on all parts of BS5839, the code of practice that prescribes the manner in which fire systems are designed, installed and maintained across the UK.
Steve concludes: “Our customers and the public rely on the consistent performance of their health and safety operations. Siemens understands the challenges facing organisations in managing and maintaining a safe environment, as well as adhering to stringent health and safety regulations. To date we have delivered over 60 million fire detection devices worldwide, and firmly believe that intelligent technology and engineering skills mean organisations can take a zero tolerance attitude to the issue of false alarm signals being generated by the equipment that is meant to deliver high level protection.”
