Mains Smoke alarm can significantly reduce the risk of death or injury by fire as they provide an early warning when a fire breaks out, allowing those in the premises to evacuate safely. If your property doesn’t have an automatic fire detection and alarm system, you should make sure that a sufficient number of smoke alarms are fitted. The law requires that at least one alarm is installed on each story of a rental property that is being used as living accommodation.
It is the landlord’s responsibility to make sure that all mains powered smoke alarm is working at the start of a new tenancy. From then on the responsibility of checking the mains powered smoke alarm falls to the tenant/s. However, it is in the interest of both landlord and tenant/s to regularly check that mains smoke alarm is working properly. It is recommended that alarms are checked once a month.
Fire doors and fire-rated door installation are critical components in any passive fire protection (PFP) strategy, as they form part of the fire-stopping role within the all-important fire compartmentation function. Defective or missing fire doors mean compartmentation fails – so not only will the fire spread quicker, but designated escape and evacuation routes will be unprotected, potentially incurring a tragic human cost.
