Avoid Risk of Fire in Workplace With our Fire Monitoring System

Fire at the workplace is not unheard of and is a problem that needs immediate attention. A fire outbreak causes damage to property, people and can even lead to the loss of lives. It also acts as a catalyst for related accidents like explosions.

Acknowledging the dangers, workplaces introduced fire safety equipment as a precautionary measure. There are fire exits, fire extinguishers, and even drills performed by the staff to get them ready for a fire outbreak. But is this enough?


Need for Fire Monitoring System

The core problem with fire safety is that we often view it as a one-time solution. Installing precautions won’t amount to anything if they don’t work as intended. Fire monitoring system motivates businesses to look at this issue continuously and look after the efficiency of the safety measures in place.

Let us understand the aspects it helps in a bit more detail.

Fire Exits

Fire exits are evacuation points used in case of fire. These are strategically placed in workplaces to allow quick access to everyone, regardless of where your workstation is.

However, many workplaces have their fire exits blocked by a desk, file cabinet or similar things on either or both sides. This makes the exit useless as it won’t be accessible quickly. The monitoring system ensures that these exits are clear and safe to use.

Fire Extinguishers

A quick response to the fire can control the intensity of the outbreak. Fire extinguishers are there on every floor beyond a breakable glass.

The fire monitoring system looks after the maintenance of extinguishers and related components.

Light & Alarm Checks

Fire outbreaks in workplaces collect smoke in a confined space. This obstructs the usual lighting, making it hard to see. The markers on the floor towards the fire exits must be visible at all times.

The fire monitoring system is also used to remind to check batteries in all fire alarms.

Look After Surroundings

External fires carry a distinct risk. These start from outside the workplace building and, when spread, can trap everyone inside. The fires do eventually come into the building, leaving no place to exit safely.

To keep this in check, you must clear the exterior of the building of flammable objects which are looked over by fire monitoring systems. Dry leaves, grass, etc. should be 10-30 feet away from the building and the trees and shrubs nearby must be regularly trimmed.

 

Fire Monitoring System by Guard Patrol Products

The fire monitoring system by Guard Patrol Products looks after all the aforementioned points. Our system aims to aid the fire marshal in all their periodic checks and inspections. All fire safety components (inside and outside the workplace) are marked by installing our robust touch buttons. Each of them has a unique ID and can be hermetically sealed. These touchpoints are registered with the software’s database with nicknames, for example- lobby, floor 1, main entrance, etc.

The fire marshal uses one of our data readers to read the touch buttons with a tap. This activity stores the date, time and unique ID of both devices to let the admin know who checked this point and when. When connected to a computer, it displays all data in chronological order that can be viewed or printed.

This system makes it easy to create and keep track of a repair and maintenance routine to ensure every safety measure is in place and ready to use.

 

Conclusion

With an excellent fire monitoring system like ours in place, you can reduce losses in the unfortunate event of a fire.
