Fire Alarms BS 5839: Course Description

This two day Fire Alarms BS 5839 course is based upon BS 5839:1, BS 5839:6

Fire alarm systems are essential for the safety of life and/or property.

In general, it is appropriate to install some form of fire alarm system in virtually all buildings, except very small relatively open planned buildings. The initiation of alarm can be either manual or automatic, or a combination of both, as is usually the case. The level of cover required by a building is based upon a fire risk assessment and a suitable system selected to meet this need.

The Fire Alarms BS 5839 course provides the necessary information to design, construct and commission a non-addressable fire alarm system to BS 5839.

The first day of the Fire Alarms BS 5839 course is spent reading through and interpreting the relevant parts of BS 5839. The second day of the Fire Alarms BS 5839 course takes the form of a practical workshop where a system is designed, constructed and inspected and tested. The participant is then introduced to the practical issues of system maintenance, certification and reporting.
