Introduction
A commercial building can be designed to suit many business purposes. The commercial activities taking pace within them can vary from large scale warehousing, storage facilities, farm buildings, to garages and repair workshops. Very often offices, retail shopping centres and medical centres are also classed as commercial buildings.
The overall consideration when installing fire or security systems is to ensure that the most appropriate alarm and security equipment is specified according to the business use and related fire and security risks. This will be determined during the fire risk assessment and the security review.
Once installed, company directors and anyone nominated as being responsible for fire safety have a legal responsibility to ensure the fire alarm system and equipment is regularly maintained, and that a record is kept of inspections and any remedial works.
Key Challenges
As the business activities carried out in a commercial building can vary, the key challenge is to ensure the following:
- People, processes and property are protecting by ensuring the right type of fire alarm is installed according to the commercial uses and fire risks involved.
- CCTV systems are installed and camera’s well positioned with clear signage that CCTV is in operation in order to meet data compliance regulations.
- Access control systems are installed and configured to only allow access to those with the right authorisation.
