The Importance of Commercial Fire Alarm Systems in Your Facility
Commercial fire alarm systems play an integral role in ensuring the safety of your employees, customers, your facility, and even your company’s assets. As an owner or manager, it’s imperative to have the right Fire Alarm system in place to help act as a warning, as well as be there to mitigate the spread until responders arrive.
At Alen Security, we’re here to help you see the importance of a commercial fire alarm system in your facility.
Early Detection for Preventative Measures
The installation of a commercial fire alarm system in your facility is vital for a variety of reasons, but the primary reason is safety. Whether these systems detect smoke, a sudden influx of heat, or even flames, they’ll provide an alert so you can begin evacuation procedures. Early detection is the best way to ensure the safety of your team.
Remain Code Compliant with Local Regulations
Not only are fire alarm systems necessary for life safety, but they’re also legally required. Fire Alarm inspections are required to determine the quality and condition of your fire alarm, and if it’s not up to standards, you could face a fine. Having an updated Fire Alarm system in place can help keep your facility safe from fires, as well as legally compliant with the local Authority Having Jurisdiction (AHJ).
Keeping Everyone Safe & Minimizing Damage
Fires can be a devastating event in your facility. Not only do they pose a huge risk to safety, but they can also destroy your facility and assets. A Commercial Fire Alarm System working in conjunction with a suppression and/ or sprinkler system can actively work together to mitigate the fire and prevent it from spreading, which can be a major benefit for incoming responders.
Around the Clock Monitoring
While your business may close for the day, the fire alarm system is always working. Should an issue occur while you’re closed, whether it’s a simple accident, or malicious activity, the alarm will sound to alert locally, and via central station monitoring to alert the local fire department who can work to prevent the spread of the fire.
Insurance Benefits for Risk Management
Fires are a huge risk in any industry, and insurers include that in your premiums. However, having an updated and state-of-the-art fire alarm system can help you save on your insurance premiums. This can allow you to save on your overall budget and divert the savings towards something important for your business.
Peace of Mind with Your Facility
Having a reliable commercial fire alarm system in your facility can take away the anxiety or worry that a fire could spring up and severely damage your facility and even harm your employees. You can avoid the worry knowing that the right system is in place while you have the freedom to focus on the more important aspects of your business.
