Essential smoke alarm safety tips 🔥

✔️ Install smoke alarms on every floor of your home.

✔️ Make sure your smoke alarms are properly installed and tested regularly.

✔️ Avoid placing smoke alarms in kitchens or bathrooms as the steam could damage the alarm, or set it off.

✔️ Do not paint over smoke alarms. Painting over a smoke alarm could block airflow and make it harder for the alarm to detect a fire.

✔️ Replace smoke alarms every 10 years.

✔️ And finally - it sounds obvious, but it happens more often than you’d think - never cover smoke alarms, even if they go off easily.

Another big project coming together near Sittingbourne 👌

We’re currently on the 2nd fix stage, fitting off downlights, sockets, data points and completing the electrical, fire alarm and CCTV installation throughout the site.

This one’s a really interesting job at a distribution centre and health clinic for a red light therapy company, including offices, treatment rooms and warehouse space all in one building.

The CCTV system being installed is full coverage with perimeter protection to give the whole site solid security inside and out.

On the fire side, we’ve upgraded the existing system to a brand new Category L2 fire alarm setup with an advanced 2-loop panel for improved coverage and protection across the building.

We are here for all your electrical, fire and security needs, no matter the size. Please reach out to find out more about our services 👉 https://absolute-group.co.uk/

Grateful to have found Absolute Protection as I now have a reliable & trustworthy contact going forward for any future work and maintenance contracts.” - Tom Auton

“Every year, around 1,000 accidents at work involving electricity are reported to the Health and Safety Executive and about 30 people die from injuries caused by electrical hazards” (source: Praxis42)

Under the Electricity at Work Regulations (1989), employers must ensure that all electrical equipment is safe by carrying out an electrical risk assessment and taking appropriate measures to prevent accidents.

The growing risk of lithium battery fires in the UK is becoming harder to ignore.

And the reason why this is a real concern is because lithium battery fires can spread quickly into very large fires.

This is yet another example from just last month, close to home in Ashford 👉 https://www.kentonline.co.uk/ashford/news/ticking-time-bomb-household-battery-sparked-recycling-plan-339065/

A catastrophic fire tore through a recycling plant after a “ticking time bomb” battery fell from a conveyor belt and caught alight.

Ever wondered how to beat rising energy prices?

We invite you to read our recent case study of an AC-coupled battery storage installation.

This type of system allows electricity to be stored in batteries during off-peak hours (when tariffs are lower) and then used during peak times when electricity is more expensive.
