PFD Monitor interpretation

Installation of alarms in locations inaccessible to elderly or immobile occupiers

Wider context from the report

“The cover was in place. The alarm was as is usual, installed on the ceiling where it would be inaccessible to many elderly or other immobile occupiers. It was stated that the cover was left in place to protect the alarm from the ingress of dust etc following fitting. Therefore, you may consider that legislation should be enacted to require builders, landlords and others to remove such covers, cleaning around the alarm where necessary, prior to allowing the occupier to take possession. ”

Is this part of a recurring concern?

Yes — Inadequate fire detection and emergency notification for vulnerable people in housing.
