‘Digitising fire safety compliance in healthcare estates’ will be the title of a free-to-attend webinar presented by Tom Ford, Honeywell’s National Business Development Manager for Connected Life Safety Services (CLSS) in the UK & Ireland (pictured), being held at 11.00 am on Wednesday 17 July in association with Health Estate Journal.
The webinar will enable attendees to:
- Be clear on the responsibilities of healthcare estates personnel in ensuring fire safety compliance.
- Discover how Honeywell Self-Test’s multi-award-winning technology is digitising and automating fire system testing and maintenance.
- Understand how they can go beyond compliance requirements on their estate.
Honeywell says; “Fire systems require testing, inspection, and maintenance to continue functioning effectively, with smoke detectors needing annual functional testing and inspection. However, this process can be disruptive, requiring access to every room in an estate, and meticulous manual recording, which can result in inaccuracies and missed detectors.”
Honeywell says its ‘ground-breaking’ Self-Test technology and Connected Life Safety Services (CLSS) App are ‘paving the way for digitising fire system testing and maintenance; creating audit trails that allow users to prove that their sub-contractor has completed a full functional test of the fire system’. The company explains: This helps service-providers and estate owners save time on site, and provides real-time updates on the performance, testing, and overall compliance with local fire safety codes.”
It adds: “Self-Test technology automates the process without causing the disruption that manual testing brings with it, including requiring access to sensitive areas in healthcare facilities, such as operating theatres and low immunity wards.” Self-Test has already started to transform fire maintenance within healthcare estates, Honeywell says, and has seen the functional testing of all smoke detectors in a hospital completed in under 35 minutes. The company adds: “As healthcare estates can be large and complex buildings, Self-Test technology offers an effective and future-proof solution.”
For the last two years, the day’s speaker today, Tom Ford, has worked with Honeywell partner companies to raise awareness of CLSS and support its development. In doing so, he has become a leading voice on Software as a Service within the life safety sector. Tom is a member of the Fire Detection and Alarm Council, and has a strong focus on supporting the ‘Internet of Things transformation’ in the fire industry.
