| Reducing False Fire Alarms in the Healthcare Environment | |
| 16 June 2010 ADT Fire and Security has launched a new whitepaper: 'Reducing Unwanted Fire Signals within a Healthcare Environment.' For such a unique and demanding environment, the document from the UK's leading fire detection provider offers practical steps to help provide a safer environment for patients, staff and visitors. For healthcare properties and particularly hospitals and care homes, false and unwanted alarms can cause huge disruption to the day-to-day running of the facility. Vulnerable patients are particularly at risk and could be placed in a potentially life-threatening situation in the event of an unnecessary and complex evacuation procedure. With this in mind, ADT Fire and Security has launched a whitepaper to help reduce false and unwanted fire alarms in a healthcare environment. The whitepaper takes a comprehensive look at the critical steps to help prevent the pain and disruption that a false alarm can cause. The practical whitepaper offers invaluable information on integrating unwanted fire signals into risk assessments, best practice guidance and legislation, suitable fire detection systems, the latest technology available as well as ongoing maintenance to help reduce unwanted fire signals. "In healthcare properties and particularly hospitals, unwanted fire signals can cause huge disruption to the day-to-day running of the facility," explained Peter Lackey, Fire Product Marketing Manager, at ADT Fire and Security. "The aim of the new whitepaper is to help ensure those responsible for healthcare facilities have as much guidance and information as possible at their disposal to be able to provide a safer environment."
