Fire alarm maintenance may feel like another task in the long list of safety duties, but letting it slide can lead to serious consequences: legal, financial, and even risk to life. Here’s what building owners, facility managers, care homes and educational premises need to know if they ignore that schedule.
Real-World Consequences
- Insurance may be voided: Insurers often require evidence that fire alarms and detection systems have been properly maintained. If they find that a system hasn’t been regularly tested or serviced, a claim after fire damage might be rejected
- Fines, legal penalties and liability: Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, failing to keep your alarm system maintained can lead to enforcement notices, fines or even prosecution.
- Business interruption and reputational damage: A faulty alarm system can cause false alarms, system failures, or lengthy downtime following an incident. That means loss of trade, disruption of services, and potential damage to the trust your clients, students, residents or customers have in you.
