Fire And Security

Why Do You Need Fire Security Measures

British law mandates fire detection systems in all buildings to align with building regulations (Approved Document B - ‘Fire Safety Measures for a Building’). The type of system required varies based on factors like building size, occupancy, and function. These systems are crucial for early fire detection, enabling swift evacuation and emergency response.

UK Building Regulations. Requirement for all new non-domestic buildings with more than one storey to provide ‘refuge’ areas – places of relative safety where people who cannot easily use fire escape routes can wait and call for assistance. A disabled refuge needs simple, effective two-way communication so that people sheltering there can be in contact with the outside world, enabling rescue teams to determine where assistance is required and reassuring people that help is coming.
