Fife Council is a leading light in \ufb01re safety in the social housing sector, being both an early adopter of technology and a proponent of going well beyond minimum requirements of \ufb01re safety protection set under British Standards and Scottish legislation.<\/p>\n
Jim Macdonald, Fife Council compliance manager, explains: \u201cWe have been installingalarms to LD2 for a number of years as the safety of our tenants is paramount. We take into account social and health issues when conducting risk assessments. We still have a number of smokers who continue to smoke in their bedrooms despite the health and safety warnings we are all familiar with. In these instances we go beyond LD2 by putting alarms in bedrooms; LD2 Plus, if you like!<\/p>\n
\u201cYou can\u2019t put a cost on someone\u2019s life, but you can put a cost on the potential damage and the resulting costs and that cost can be over \u00a31 million. That\u2019s a direct cost to the Council. If we can avoid just one \ufb01re by \ufb01tting the best level of protection possible, we have actually saved money and, more importantly, protected lives. Using the 3000 Series alarms provides us with the best possible protection and helps us future proof our \ufb01re alarm systems.\u201d<\/p>\n
Fife Council is \ufb01tting Aico\u2019s latest 3000 Series throughout its properties, including the innovative Ei3024 Multi-Sensor and the Ei3028 Heat\/Carbon Monoxide alarm.<\/p>\n
