If the alarm activation was unwanted, seek information on ways to eliminate or reduce the likelihood of it occurring again.
Addressing one or more of the following can reduce unwanted alarms:
- modify occupant behaviour
- manage malicious calls and manual call points (MCP's)
- manage system faults and alarm maintenance
- Fire Alarms Systems
- Sprinkler Systems
- building design issues
- manage building maintenance works - information for dealing with workmen/contractors
- modify the fire alarm system.
When organising meetings to discuss the problems and possible solutions the following people should be involved:
- your Fire Alarm Contractor
- a Representative of the Building Owner
- the Building Manager
- MFS Community Safety and Resilience Department staff
- any others as deemed necessary by either the MFS or building management.
It is important to emphasise the need to clearly identify the real cause(s) before initiating any remedial action.
