Apply safe isolation, permit and lockout controls to work on fire protection system maintenance.
Maintenance and Management of Fire Protection and Early Warning Systems
Turn fire protection system maintenance from a stated policy into a practice your organisation can evidence.
Course Overview
Equipment involved in fire protection system maintenance rarely fails without warning; the warning is usually in data nobody reviewed. Where maintenance history on system maintenance is incomplete, every decision becomes a guess. Field experience suggests that the barrier to better this strand of engineering and maintenance work is rarely technical. Moving fire protection system maintenance from written policy into daily practice is not achieved by a single decision. The programme works equally well for those formalising the engineering and maintenance work discipline for the first time and those improving an existing approach. This programme builds system maintenance from first principles, without padding and without omitting what matters. They leave able to brief senior management on fire protection system maintenance in terms that support a decision. The programme uses small-group work so that each participant's treatment of system maintenance is examined, not just described. Participants finish with a short, specific brief on this strand of engineering and maintenance work ready to put in front of a decision maker.

System maintenance: condition monitoring and warning time
2 sessions · 8 pointsSession 1Isolating system maintenance safely before work begins
- Confirm isolation and permit requirements before any work on fire protection system maintenance.
- Assign a criticality rating to system maintenance that drives work order priority.
- Set out the decisions in fire protection system maintenance that require sign-off and by whom.

Session 2Keeping drawings for system maintenance current after modification
- List the credible failure modes of fire protection system maintenance and the consequence of each.
- Establish what evidence demonstrates system maintenance is under control.
- Estimate the true cost of one hour of unplanned downtime on fire protection system maintenance.

System maintenance: turnarounds, contractors and scope control
2 sessions · 8 pointsSession 1Controlling turnaround scope on system maintenance
- Build the competence framework that supports fire protection system maintenance.
- Record the rationale for each significant choice made about system maintenance.
- Define the turnaround scope for fire protection system maintenance and freeze it before mobilisation.

Session 2The cost of fire protection system maintenance and how to present it
- Set inspection intervals for fire protection system maintenance from condition data where it exists.
- Name a single owner for each element of system maintenance.
- Investigate repeat failures on fire protection system maintenance to root cause, not to component.
