OCD Fire Management Solutions (OCD FM) provides comprehensive fire alarm installation and maintenance services for commercial and residential properties.
One of our engineers will conduct a site survey to assess the property’s fire alarm requirements and provide a detailed report of our findings. This will include whether your current system is compliant and recommendations for any upgrades or replacements needed.
Once we’ve identified the right system for you, we will install a complete fire alarm system, including control panels, detectors, sounders, and alarms, in compliance with all relevant regulations and standards. The installation will include all necessary cabling and wiring, and we will ensure that the system is integrated with any existing fire safety measures.
We will commission the fire alarm system to ensure it is fully functional and that all components are working correctly. We’ll then take your designated responsible person through the operation of the system and how to test it properly.
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, all fire alarm systems must be “adequately maintained” to ensure they are in perfect working order all the time. Ultimately this legislation is designed to protect life so should be taken seriously.
British Standards recommend your fire alarm system should be tested weekly by a responsible person. This can be someone you trust within your organisation (as long as they are up to speed with the operation of the system and diligent in testing all required elements).
When it comes to maintenance you should really be using the services of qualified and experienced fire safety professionals to maintain and service your fire alarm system at least twice a year.
Our comprehensive fire alarm maintenance procedure includes all essential elements. This includes:
• A full system inspection to check for any visible damage or wear and tear.
• Thorough cleaning of all detectors to ensure they’re free from dust and dirt that can degrade performance.
• Testing of all components including control panels, call points, detectors and any sounders in place.
• Checking all battery backups for effective operation (and replacing them if needs be).
• We then provide you with a full report detailing any faults or necessary repairs.
We will provide all relevant documentation, including installation reports, maintenance reports, and certification records.
We will follow all relevant health and safety guidelines and regulations during the installation and maintenance process. The client must provide safe and unrestricted access to all areas being installed and identify any potential hazards or risks associated with the area being installed.
We will take appropriate measures to minimise any environmental impact of the installation and maintenance process. The client is responsible for ensuring that any necessary permits or permissions are in place for the installation.
The client must provide any necessary keys or access codes to gain entry to the building or areas affected by the installation.
Our installation and maintenance work may cause some disruption to your operations, but we always aim to keep these disruptions to a minimum and work with the upmost professionalism. To that end it’s important that clients work with us to cooperate with our installers and provide any necessary assistance to minimise disruption.
