Every year, the construction industry suffers significant financial losses due to fire-related incidents, resulting in property damage, project delays, and increased insurance premiums. Construction sites, in particular, pose heightened fire risks due to the presence of raw materials, heavy machinery, and electrical wiring. Without adequate fire safety measures, fires can rapidly escalate.
Regardless of the size of your construction site or commercial premises, safeguarding against the threat of fire must be a primary concern. Investing in a wireless fire alarm system can help mitigate the risk of property damage and ensure the safety of all personnel.
HAHM LTD UK specializes in supplying and installing construction site fire alarms across the UK, offering a comprehensive end-to-end service to address your fire safety needs.
WHY INVEST IN A WIRELESS FIRE ALARM SYSTEM?
Investing in a wireless fire alarm system offers several advantages over traditional wired systems, particularly in the context of construction sites:
- Ease of Installation: Connecting temporary fire alarms with cables can be cumbersome and time-consuming for both site management and fire alarm engineers. Wireless fire alarms eliminate the need for cables, simplifying the installation process.
- Flexibility and Adaptability: As construction projects progress, the layout of the site often changes, rendering the original placement of fire alarms obsolete. Wireless fire alarms can be easily moved and repositioned without the hassle of rewiring, allowing for greater flexibility as the project evolves.
- Reduced Safety Risks: With no cables to trip over or accidentally damage, wireless fire alarms minimize safety hazards for workers on the construction site. This reduces the risk of accidents and ensures a safer working environment.
- Efficient Design: Wireless fire alarms are specifically designed to be adaptable and easy to relocate. Unlike traditional wired systems, there’s no need to reprogram circuitry or reinstall cables when moving the alarms.

Our battery-powered, radio-linked fire safety systems automatically detect heat and smoke, providing reliable protection. Additionally, our wireless fire alarm monitoring center operates 24/7, offering continuous surveillance and peace of mind, even when the construction site is unattended.
HOW CAN CONSTRUCTION SITE BE PROTECTED FROM FIRE?
In larger construction sites where hard wiring is impractical, networked wireless radio-linked fire alarms offer invaluable benefits. By connecting multiple call points to a single control panel, these systems ensure comprehensive fire protection across the entire site.
Communication on expansive construction sites can be challenging, but with networked wireless fire alarms, messages can be swiftly transmitted from one end of the site to the other. Even if call points are not directly within range of the central control, they can relay messages along the network, significantly expanding the coverage area. This feature is particularly advantageous for large buildings and expansive construction sites.
The user-friendly networked system provides advanced warnings, promptly alerting workers in each area upon detecting an issue. Additionally, the state-of-the-art system offers detailed insights, indicating which call point has been activated, identifying low battery levels, and flagging any disconnections, thus ensuring comprehensive operational oversight.
Furthermore, the system’s test function facilitates quick weekly testing procedures, ensuring that health and safety measures remain robust and up-to-date at all times.
