What You Need to Know About Fire Alarm Inspections
Fire alarm inspections are a proactive way to maximize safety within your building. Every element that contributes to the safety of a fire alarm system must be tested to ensure it will function properly in case of a fire. When BTV Systems performs your fire alarm inspection, we will perform a complete system check as well as examine the following:
- Smoke Detectors
- Duct Detectors
- Alarms & Panels
- Backup Power Supply
After our fire alarm inspection is complete, we will provide a detailed report to the client. Allow us to address how long a fire alarm inspection might take, what you should tell your employees before the inspection, and how frequent an inspection is required in Georgia:
Timing
The length of time it takes to complete the fire alarm inspection depends on the size of the facility, the system itself, and the technicians. Being thorough is prioritized, as these inspections could ultimately save lives.
Employees
Clear communication with your team is a must before the fire alarm inspection takes place. There will be pockets of time where the fire alarm may sound, and you don’t want your employees to panic. Make sure they know when the fire alarm inspection is occurring and what to do during the inspection (if applicable).
Frequency
The BTV Systems team follows the National Fire Alarm & Signaling Codes (NFPA 72) regulations concerning how frequently fire alarms need to be inspected, which is on an annual basis. We can inspect fire alarm systems that we did not install to ensure your building is safe as well as fire alarm systems that are from our company. Annual inspections are necessary to ensure compliance for your business.
