Fire safety

Bis Industrial Services, Roosendaal
The whole BIS Industrial Services building in Roosendaal is fitted with a system using only manual call points which control the evacuation system, as specified and installed in association with one of our fire safety partners.
Because of the ambient noise level and use of ear protection slow whoop alarms were combined with flashing lights to make it more likely that the evacuation alarm is noticed.
A maintenance contract was concluded for scheduled maintenance, service and fault resolution.

FireX fitted the two sites in Schoonrewoerd with two certified fire detection systems with integrated type B evacuation system. The evacuation system includes slow whoop sirens to overcome the background noise of the production equipment. The systems meet the current requirements further to the 2012 Buildings decree.
