The Complete Guide to Waking Watch… and Beyond
Waking Watch was introduced as a temporary fire safety measure where immediate risk mitigation was required and no common alarm system was available. However, delays to remediation have meant that many higher-risk residential buildings have relied on Waking Watch far longer than originally intended.
This educational session explains the purpose of Waking Watch, the regulatory and compliance considerations surrounding its use, and the challenges of maintaining it over extended periods. It will also explore how certified wireless fire detection systems can provide a compliant alternative, helping responsible persons and managing agents transition away from Waking Watch while improving resident safety and reducing long-term costs.
