In this module, we'll delve into the core concepts of fire alarm notification devices, covering key terminologies and various device types and modes. We'll discuss strategic placement strategies to optimize effectiveness in terms of visibility, audibility, or a combination of both. We'll explore the historical evolution of fire detectors, focusing on terminology and coverage intricacies, particularly concerning heat and smoke detectors as per Indian Standard 2189. Advanced detectors like aspiration and beam detectors will be examined for their unique coverage attributes. Considerations for detector placement, especially related to air movement, will be emphasized through practical scenarios. Inspection, testing, and maintenance practices for system reliability will be highlighted, along with integrating fire alarms with building systems and understanding the Cause & Effect Matrix. A live demonstration will illustrate the integration of Cause & Effect Matrix with fire alarm systems for practical understanding. By the course's end, participants will be equipped with the necessary knowledge and skills for effective implementation, integration, and maintenance of fire alarm notification devices across diverse building environments.

Fire safety signages are essential visual aids for conveying critical information during emergencies. This module explores their role in promoting safety and aiding in evacuation. Categorized by functionality, they include warning signs for hazards, egress signs for safe evacuation routes, and firefighting equipment signs for locating essential tools like fire extinguishers. Emphasis is placed on proper placement and visibility, ensuring easy noticeability for effective emergency response. Prohibition signs prevent unsafe practices, while health and safety signs complement fire-specific communication. Discussions cover sign dimensioning, color coding, and luminescent photo safety signage for low-light visibility. Instructor-led sessions cover detector technologies, selection, and coverage as per standards. Integration with building services, inspection practices, and the cause-and-effect matrix are also addressed. Ultimately, participants gain a comprehensive understanding of fire safety signages' vital role in evacuation and workplace safety.
