Fire detection and CCTV for waste and recycling sites
We install wireless addressable L1 fire alarms to BS 5839-1 and thermal cameras across external areas, with fire and CCTV managed locally or remotely from one platform.
Where the systems go on a waste site
Fire alarms
Wireless addressable fire alarms where running cable is hard, across buildings and plant.
Dust rules out ordinary detectors
WISH WASTE 28 warns that standard smoke detectors rarely cope with the dust and moisture of operational areas.
Check wireless with your insurer
WISH WASTE 28 says a wireless alarm has to be acceptable to your insurer, so ask them before it is fitted.
A second duty beside the permit
The alarm in your offices and picking cabins answers the Fire Safety Order, which is separate from your permit.
CCTV
Thermal and standard cameras across external areas, managed with fire from one platform.
Built for dust, weather and the dark
Outdoor cameras are weatherproof with infra-red, so your yard and external areas stay readable after dark.
Plant watched from a safe distance
Cameras over shredders, conveyors and tipping areas let your team check plant from a safer viewing position.
Every vehicle logged at the gate
Number-plate recognition logs each vehicle through your gate, giving you a searchable record of who came and went.
What your permit asks for
A permitted waste site answers to its fire prevention plan, the Environment Agency and the Fire Safety Order. We design to them, and you can check each of our certificates on its scheme’s public register.
- Detection has to work when the site is closed
- Intruder alarms and CCTV sit in the permit plan
- Aim to have a fire out inside four hours
- Lithium batteries arrive hidden in the waste
Your permit asks for proof, not promises
The fire prevention plan has to name where the CCTV and alarms are, and show the detection and suppression is certificated or built to a British Standard.
