This is why CCTV cameras are so important because they can offer your business the kind of security you need, offering you peace of mind and saving you money in the long-term despite an initial investment. It can act as a powerful deterrent to would-be burglars who will be concerned with being identified while entering your premises.
An Access Control System is a security solution that grants or denies access to a building or area. This system can be managed fairly easily and remotely so that those in charge of it have complete control over who can enter and exit. Knowing what the benefits of an access control system are will help you in finding the right one for you and your business.
Fire legislation has been extended to protect those who inhabit a building for more than one resident. This has resulted in the Fire Safety Act 2021. However, there are questions surrounding the protection of disabled residents and whether they go far enough, including the implementation of disabled refuge systems.
Experiments have shown that only a limited number of people were able to recognise the sound of a fire alarm. This can be a big problem for buildings that rely on alarm systems in case of emergencies as such systems are not of much use if nobody responds to the alarm being sounded. Further investigation has shown that the use of voice messages in an emergency situation improve responsiveness from building occupants, meaning PAVA Systems offer a clear advantage over more basic alarm systems.
Alarms are almost always associated with the sound of a bell, beeping, and persistent ringing. Voice alarms less so. Whenever we hear an alarm it is a clear indication we need to evacuate an area immediately to avert danger. So, how can a PAVA system work and when is it needed?
It’s a sad fact that your home or business could be at risk of break-ins. Even if you live in a statistically safe area, you probably worry about leaving your property, especially for long periods of time. Security alarm systems can help to alleviate this worry, as well as providing real protection for the important things in your property.
Knowing how to act in the event of a fire is an important skill for your employees to have. The actions of any one person are likely to impact others around them. Fire safety training is about making sure everyone knows what to do in an emergency. Not only is it a smart choice, it is also the law.
Many business owners are unclear on the regulations that cover fire safety with regards to their premises. They aren’t sure what kind of fire precautions are needed and where they should be placed. The laws regarding fire safety were changed a few years ago.
CCTV cameras are one of the most common types of security measures. They are used everywhere from retail stores and public transport to private property and family homes. If you don’t have security cameras you could be leaving yourself vulnerable.
If you’re thinking of having a fire alarm system installed in your property, it requires a good deal of thought before you commission someone to install it. You need to make sure the people installing it are competent, and that they have the required credentials that say they are properly qualified to handle a fire alarm system.
Here at Planet Fire, we believe that an access control system should provide safe and secure access for your employees and all authorized individuals. Just as importantly, they can keep unauthorized people out.
Fire is a disaster that everyone dreads, it threatens property and most importantly it threaten lives. In order to protect the public it’s against the law for any company not to follow fire safety regulations. You have to ensure that your company is fully compliant, and you have to carry out a regular fire risk assessment by law. If your company isn’t compliant, according to HM Government, you could go to prison and/or face stringent fines.
