CPD: Learn about effective false alarm reduction strategies
Almost 40% of incidents attended by the fire and rescue services in England in 2022/23 were false alarms, with associated costs estimated at over £1 billion. This course addresses one of the fire industry’s most persistent challenges, offering professionals the expertise needed to mitigate false fire alarms effectively.
Certified by the FIA, attendees will learn tried and tested techniques that help put an end to this pernicious problem. You will hear about the common causes and effects of false and unwanted alarms and gain deeper understanding of alarm verification techniques, investigation delays, BS EN54-2, and the strategies you can put in place to effectively manage and radically reduce them.
The CPD module helps you:
- Understand the difference between false and unwanted alarms.
- Choose the best false alarm management options – including alarm verification and investigation delays.
- Differentiate between detection zones and alarm zones, their size and configuration.
- Manage the needs of different building areas for controlled evacuation.
- Choose the right equipment to combat false alarms.
The presentation lasts one hour, is free of charge and upon successful completion of the CPD you will receive a certificate from The CPD Certification Service.
This course is delivered by members of the Advanced team with decades of industry experience and is ideal for consultants, fire risk assessors, facilities managers, health and safety professionals, and anyone involved in ensuring fire safety.
