The Fire Precautions (Workplace) Regulations 1997 require all employers and persons responsible for buildings to have an effective means of detecting a fire a giving adequate warning to all people in the building to allow them sufficient time to escape.

For many workplaces this can be a simple smoke detection and manual fire alarm system, while some larger premise may require a sophisticated electrical fire warning system.

The fire risk assessment will determine the most appropriate means of fire detection and warning and following this, through its network of approved suppliers, Nemco can recommend a variety of systems installers for items such as:

Provision of 'manual', 'life' or 'property' protection systems

• Automatic communication with fire service
• Manual call points
• Heat, smoke, carbon monoxide & flame detectors
• Audible and visual alarm systems
• Staged evacuation and public address systems

All installations are subject to the requirements of BS5839 Pt 1: 2002 - Fire Detection and Fire Alarm Systems for Buildings - Code of Practice for System Design, Installation, Commissioning and Maintenance.
