From our Canada branch
Join us for this online event from Fire Monitoring of Canada Inc. CEO Kevin Allison H.Bsc CSP MBA.
Synopsis
Fire alarm monitoring is one of the most critical - yet often misunderstood - links in the life safety chain, where seconds matter and assumptions can lead to serious consequences. This session brings clarity with a practical, Canada-wide perspective on regulatory expectations, real-world system performance, and the shared accountability between building owners, service providers, and Authorities Having Jurisdiction (AHJs).
Areas of Focus
- What fire alarm monitoring is and what it is not.
- Key differences in monitoring requirements across Canada, including AHJ expectations, regional variations, and their practical impact.
- Common failure points, including missed signals, unclear responsibilities, delayed response, and communication breakdowns.
- Lessons learned from real-world incidents and service experiences.
- Identifying gaps and opportunities: best practices for testing, documentation, AHJ verification, and escalation procedures.
The advertised timings for this event are for Canadian time, the timings for the UK will be between 18:00 & 19:30
