Top 5 Tips for Maintaining Your Fire Alarm System Ensuring the safety of your people and facilities starts with a well-maintained fire alarm system. Here are five actionable tips to keep your system in top condition. 1. Know Your System Understanding the type of fire alarm system you have is the foundation of effective maintenance. Familiarize yourself with the requirements of your specific system by referring to the manufacturer’s manual or contacting the company that installed the system. 2. Receive Proper Training Proper training is crucial for anyone responsible for maintaining a fire alarm system. This training should cover how to test the system, troubleshoot issues, and handle components safely to avoid accidental damage. 3. Keep It Clean Dust and debris can interfere with your fire alarm system’s functionality. Implement a regular cleaning schedule according to your manufacturer’s recommendations. Collaborate with a fire protection company that can perform the required professional cleanings, tests, and inspections, ensuring you never miss this critical maintenance step. 4. Perform Visual Inspections Regular visual inspections are essential. Conduct these inspections at least once a year to check for damage or wear and tear on components like wiring, sensors, and alarms. Incorporate visual inspections into other building maintenance routines or assign a specific individual to carry out this simple but crucial task. 5. Avoid Unqualified Repairs Only qualified technicians should attempt repairs or modifications to the fire alarm system. Always reach out to your fire protection company for assistance, ensuring that only trained and certified individuals handle inspections, testing, and maintenance. By following these five tips, facilities managers and building owners can ensure their fire alarm systems remain in excellent working condition, safeguarding the safety of all occupants.

Starting from the End: Creating a Master Security Plan Erick's grandfather told him, 'If you build a levee six feet high but the water rises to seven, you've wasted 100 percent of your investment. But if you build that levee to eight feet, and the water rises to seven, no one will care about the over-investment.'" This wisdom holds in security planning. A comprehensive master security plan aligns your budget with potential threats, ensuring a robust defense even in worst-case scenarios. After our Master Planning class with @ErickSlabaugh and @CherylMichaels last month, we revisited our archives and pulled an exclusive article Erick did in 2018 with Security Magazine. The article draws on Erick's 30 years of expertise in identifying facility vulnerabilities, to explore the best practices for developing a resilient security framework.
