Lets Talk Safety
Whether you’re running a large warehouse or simply own a house with a few smoke alarms, chances are you’ve neglected maintenance from time to time.
This is a huge “no-no”. Any lack of regular testing and maintenance of safety devices could become a major headache should an incident arise. This is especially true for commercial buildings or for rental properties.
There is an impressive range of connected devices these days that will alert you to any faults or maintenance requirements.
If you are a landlord or a manager of any commercial property these devices are a “game changer”.
You’ll no longer be in the dark about faulty devices and lack of maintenance.
Having a connected system of safety devices will give you control and peace of mind.
So let’s delve in to some of these new products that are changing the market...
Connected Smoke Alarms
What happens when a smoke alarm battery runs low? It starts beeping and drives you crazy.
Sensible people change the battery.
Most people just rip the thing off the roof.
This is ESPECIALLY true in rental situations. I’ve done jobs in share houses where every single smoke alarm was ripped down off the roof.
This is often because tenants want to be able to smoke without setting off the alarm.
This is the sort of thing that keeps landlords awake at night.
