ANNUAL TESTING AND INSPECTION OF COMMERCIAL FIRE ALARM SYSTEMS
If you are the owner of a local daycare, apartment building or any other commercial establishment, the fire alarm system that protects your employees, customers, tenants and property must be inspected annually.
Why?
If a fire breaks out in your building, a properly working fire alarm system alerts occupants so they can evacuate safely. Authorities are also notified, even if your building is unoccupied at the time. But you won’t know if your fire alarm system is working properly if you don’t have it inspected. As a business owner, fire system inspections may not always be a top priority. But keeping your system in good working order makes good business sense. By scheduling annual testing and inspections, along with proper maintenance, you can help your fire alarm system last for years.
Delco Alarm Systems offers annual inspection and maintenance plans which can not only save you money but also automatically schedules your yearly inspections. As the owner of a commercial establishment, you are responsible for ensuring your fire alarm and automatic sprinkler systems are inspected, tested and maintained properly. If you fail to have your system inspected and a problem arises, you could face costly fines or even the temporary closure of your building.
Periodic inspections and maintenance also helps cut down on emergency repairs and false alarms, which carry hefty fines. Your insurance company may also decline to pay for fire and smoke damage if you haven’t had your system inspected on a regular basis.
Requirments
The National Fire Protection Association’s Standard 72, the National Fire Alarm and Signaling Code, designates the qualifications needed to inspect and service fire alarm systems. Building maintenance personnel are not typically qualified to conduct these inspections. The professionals at Delco Alarm Systems meet those requirements. They are certified and factory-trained to keep your alarm systems at peak performance. They also have vast experience with commercial systems and stay informed of any changes or updates to state and local codes.
Delco Alarm System professionals evaluate your entire fire alarm system, whether we have installed it or not. The inspection includes testing the control panel, smoke and heat detectors, manual pull stations and audible and visual devices. Our trained technicians can pinpoint and repair any problems that are discovered. When the inspection is completed, Delco Alarm System will provide you with documentation for your insurance provider and local officials. Remember, all inspection documentation must be retained on site.
