| Most business premises in the india will need a fire alarm bell or fire alarm system but, what is never mentioned by the fire alarm companies is that you don’t need to spend an arm and a leg to do it. |
| |
| Since October 2006, the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order became Law but most business and premises owners don’t know of it or understand it. In a nutshell, you need to carry out a fire risk assessment of your business premises or place of work (that includes off-site or temporary places), record this correctly and then to implement the findings. |
| |
| In practice, most of us will pay a fire company or fire consultant to come and do this and then be surprised with their long list of expensive recommendations. |
| |
| But it doesn’t have to be like that at all for smaller premises. |
| |
|
| |
| Think about this. If someone, anyone, at your place or area, sees a fire and shouts “FIRE! FIRE!” and runs out the door, most other people would panic and follow. So, would someone out back, in the loo or working with a noisy tools hear this shout? |
| |
| Possibly, not so this place or area needs a fire alarm. Simple, eh? |
| |
| But you don't need an alarm surveyor to create a system with panel, detectors, FP200 cable, call points, bells, 24-hour monitoring, six-monthly servicing, call-outs, error messages, etc. Why not try these? |

| |
| Made from aluminium, you simply stand there and wind the handle around. The otary fire alarm bell has no electrics, no batteries, unbreakable and with a 60db alarm that can be heard up to 35 metres away |
| |
|
| |
| These are very popular as they use components from standard fire alarm systems, consisting of a battery-operated unit with fire alarm call point and an electronic sounder. |
| |
| You simply take it out of the box, put the 9V normal battery in and fix it to the wall. The call point is usually resettable, they have a low-battery warning bleep and, at 90-120db, operate like a full alarm. |
| |
| There are many types with names such as the Megalarm and Howler being the best. |
| |
| For bigger premises, versions Megalarm and Howler fire alarm both come in various guises and interlinkable versions. This makes a great temporary and re-useable site fire alarm. |
| |
|
| |
| Megaphones often cost a fortune but we have a small megaphone and a high powered 25W megaphone at extremely low prices. A must for fire wardens and fire drills but can be used as a means of raising an alarm also. |
| |
|
| |
| The aerosol gas fire horn types have a range of around 1500 metres and everyone if going to hear it. Refill canisters are available. |
| |
|
| |
| Although you know what it’s for and how to use it, don’t assume others will. So, if you choose something that does not look like a fire alarm, use safety signs and put the item on a red background or in a red fire cabinet and have instructions for use. |
| |
| The reason for having one is for quickly telling people case of fire. It can be as simple as a fire alarm bell but it must do be fit for purpose. |
