Choice Fire & Security Solutions has designed and installed a new interior and exterior 32-way IP CCTV system at the Redpoint Climbing Centre in Bristol. This is the latest development in a relationship Choice has had with the centre since 2013, also including fire alarm and intruder systems installations. Choice now maintains Intruder, CCTV, Fire Alarm, Portable Extinguishing and Emergency Lighting facilities at the site.
Improve safety and recognise reputable fire systems support businesses
Pressure is building towards a change in the UK fire systems market whereby, as with security systems, compulsory third-party certification of fire systems support businesses is being called for. In the light of Grenfell Tower and other tragedies, in July 2020 the government launched an open consultation into the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 and published a new Draft Building Safety Bill (as reported by Ifsecglobal). At the same time The National Security Inspectorate has recently argued the case for fire certification in The Parliamentary Review 2020.
With external influences in the UK’s economic and political environment causing some nervousness and after a cautious trading period at the start to the year, Choice saw much-improved results in new orders and revenues to finish 2018 strongly.
Are you a Responsible Person?
The UK Fire Industry Association, to which Choice belongs, has produced a 5-minute video explaining the identity and the role of the Responsible Person – deemed to be accountable for fire safety within organisations according to fire safety law – along with the benefits of using Third-Party Certification to ensure compliance.
