The Importance of Regular Maintenance and Testing
Regular maintenance and testing are critical to ensure fire safety systems function correctly when needed. Key actions include:
Routine Inspections: Regular checks of fire alarms and sprinkler systems to identify and resolve issues.
System Testing: Frequent testing of all components, including alarms, sprinklers, and extinguishers, to ensure they work as expected.
Upgrades and Replacements: Timely replacement of outdated or malfunctioning equipment and system upgrades to meet current safety standards.
Statistics: The U.S. Fire Administration reports that missing or disconnected batteries cause 25% of smoke alarm failures. Regular maintenance can prevent such failures and save lives.
