How to Keep Your Business Compliant with Fire & Security Standards
Fire and security compliance isn’t just a legal requirement — it’s critical for protecting staff, customers
and business continuity. Many Scottish businesses unknowingly fall short of recommended standards simply
because their systems have not been inspected or maintained.
Why compliance matters
A system that appears functional can still fail when needed due to issues such as contamination,
worn batteries, faulty cabling or outdated equipment. Regular inspections highlight these problems before
they lead to system failure.
Key checks every business should carry out
- Routine fire alarm servicing (BS5839-1)
- CCTV playback and recording checks
- Intruder alarm trigger and sensor testing
- Backup battery and power supply checks
- Review of logs, faults and previous reports
Benefits of staying compliant
- Improved staff and building safety
- Meets insurance requirements
- Reduces risk of downtime
- Ensures systems operate at full capability
