FireCheck
Your fire safety system is at the core of your risk management responsibilities. If there is a fire in your hotel you want your guests to move to safety as quickly and efficiently as possible. This means that all aspects of your fire safety system need to work on demand. Smoke detectors and fire doors need to work. Fire exits and signage needs to be clear and unblocked. You only get one chance to get it right. FireCheck verifies that your systems are working and will be ready should a fire break out.
