Code Compliance with Building and Fire Safety Regulations
Building contractors and electrical engineers are very skilled in their field and typically rely upon fire safety consultants to ensure their new constructions or building updates are code compliant. An experienced commercial fire alarm and life safety provider has more knowledge of fire safety codes and often works with electrical engineers during the design phase of commercial buildings.
Building owners should always make sure that a safety consultant is involved in any building design or renovation to ensure code compliance and the proper placement of all fire, smoke, or gas detection devices, fire notification, and suppression equipment.
Commercial Fire Alarm Systems
A commercial fire alarm system consultant will make recommendations for the best type of fire alarm equipment to meet the needs of the business and provide maximum safety to all occupants. Consideration should always be given to possible building updates or future expansions to choose a system that can grow with the business instead of one that would need to be replaced.
Integrated Security and Life Safety Systems
A commercial fire alarm and life safety system provider can help companies to integrate security with fire alarm systems for better management of all protection systems. Integrating security measures like video surveillance and secure access with fire alarm systems allows for simpler management for improved safety.
Mass Notification and Evacuation Planning
Mass notification systems can provide specific information to occupants, such as proper exit instructions and the location of stairwells in the case of a fire or shelter-in-place instructions for intruder or active shooter situations. Evacuation planning must include proper planning and accommodations for people with disabilities and communication with the local fire department and emergency responders.
Hazardous Materials Management
Fire and life safety system providers can provide recommendations to business owners on the best place to store hazardous materials and how to make these areas safer.
Site Development and Life Safety System Design
Working with a commercial fire alarm and life safety system provider from the beginning of your building construction or renovation project will provide a more thorough fire safety system that is catered to the unique needs of the business operations and the building layout.
