Faulty or Missing Smoke Alarms Put Lives at Risk
Without a functioning smoke alarm, a fire can spread undetected, endangering lives and property. Many homes and businesses either lack proper smoke alarms or have outdated, faulty units that fail when needed most. Australian law requires working smoke alarms in all residential and commercial buildings, but many properties remain non-compliant.
Common smoke alarm issues include:
- Non-Functioning or Expired AlarmsSmoke alarms have a lifespan of 10 years and need replacement once expired.
- No Interconnected AlarmsIn many homes, alarms aren’t connected, delaying detection in the event of a fire.
- Faulty or Battery-Operated AlarmsBattery-only alarms may fail without warning, leaving you unprotected.
- Incorrect PlacementPoorly positioned alarms delay response time, reducing their effectiveness.
- Non-Compliance with Australian StandardsHomes and businesses must meet strict fire safety regulations, which require specific types and placements.
- False Alarms or Sensitivity IssuesMalfunctioning alarms can cause frequent false alarms or fail to detect smoke properly.
