As a business owner or property manager, you have a lot of different things on your plate. One thing you should never have to worry about is your annual fire alarm inspection. This should be a simple process that only takes a few minutes.
Five Tips to Reduce Worries and Become ready for the Next Inspection
• Test Sensors and Detectors Yourself – It only takes a few moments to make a quick pass through your building and test each sensor and detector for yourself. This way, if there is a problem you can resolve it before the Fire Marshal finds it.
• Check Batteries – Check (and replace) all batteries on a schedule. Some people like to check and change batteries twice a year when the time changes while others prefer choosing other dates. The important thing is to be consistent and do it each and every time. If you find a battery is draining faster than it should, this could be a sign you need to look into repairing or replacing your detection devices
• Follow Guidelines – Take the time to learn more about what the fire standards are for your particular city or jurisdiction. When you know these codes inside and out, you will be much better prepared for what the inspector will be looking for and what he may have to say.
• Work with a Certified Fire Alarm Company – A company that knows fire alarms and has state certifications in place will be able to work with you to find the right solutions to your fire alarm problems. In fact, a good company may be conducting more in-depth tests than the fire marshal will!
