MAINTENANCE OF FIRE PROTECTION, COMMUNICATIONS, SECURITY & BUILDING AUTOMATION SYSTEMS
Course Background
Fire protection is achieved in buildings through systems which detect, extinguish or contain fires. Communication systems can play an important role as a voice alarm system to make announcements during emergencies. While security systems in buildings are designed to protect human safety, prevent losses and protect assets.
All three systems provide safety to Users and must be maintained to ensure functionality when the need arises.
