False Fire Alarm Reduction
REDMEN FALSE ALARM REDUCTION PROGRAM
We work with the NSW Fire Brigade False Alarm Reduction Unit to reduce the incidence of call-outs through false alarms in Smoke Detection Systems.
STEP 1: CALL-OUT HISTORY
With your permission, we retrieve your call-out history from NSWFB. We then analyse the causes of past false alarms and investigate possible patterns and causes that can be eliminated.
STEP 2: RECOMMENDATIONS
We prepare a recommendation report outlining measures designed to decrease the incidence of false alarms at your premises. Sometimes it may entail replacement or relocation of detector heads. On other occasions it may need a different type of detector or simply a change in on-site policies (e.g. instructions to tradesmen re dust-creating tasks).
STEP 3: REBATE ASSISTANCE
Once the upgrades have been completed and policies have been implemented, we will assist you to lodge a rebate claim with NSWFB for refund or credit of past false alarm call-out charges where it can be demonstrated that conscientious measures have been implemented to reduce the incidence of false alarms.
With the False-Alarm call-out charge increasing to $500.00 from 1 July 2009, it could be a good time to call us in.
