Fire Safety Management System: managing your building's safety

The Fire Safety Management System encompasses all the equipment and devices used to ensure the safety of a building, either automatically upon detection of a fire or manually. It serves as the essential link between the fire alarm and the concrete actions taken to protect occupants and installations.

In practical terms, the Fire Safety Management System directs and coordinates several key functions. It triggers the alarm to facilitate evacuation, unlocks emergency exits to allow occupants to leave, and controls the isolation of the building by closing fire doors and dampers to limit the spread of the fire, and can shut down certain technical systems to reduce the risk of the fire spreading.

It also controls the smoke exhaust system to remove smoke that is toxic to people, improve visibility for the evacuation of occupants, and help rescue teams work more effectively.
All of these actions are carried out automatically and in a coordinated manner to ensure a rapid and appropriate response to the situation from the very first seconds of the incident.
Specifically, the Fire Safety Management System executes the fire safety scenarios defined for the building by controlling devices located throughout the site.

The fire safety management system relies on a set of devices located throughout the building, known as manually operated safety devices, which enable protective measures to be effectively implemented.

This equipment does not make decisions. They are activated by the Fire Safety Control Centre, which sends them the necessary commands based on the defined fire scenario. They work directly on the building’s systems to ensure the safety of the occupants and limit the spread of the fire.

In particular, they allow users to control fire compartmentation systems, activate smoke exhaust systems in the premises, or manage access to facilitate evacuation. Their proper functioning determines the overall effectiveness of the fire safety system.
