(1-2) The Department of Education and Training monitors 3459 electronic alarm systems throughout the State. A large proportion of these systems include smoke detectors. Smoke detectors in schools are normally checked, cleaned, serviced and tested in areas where there is a high level of ingressive dust or pollutants. Faults are identified through the monitoring process. Cleaning is also carried out if the detectors have been affected by smoke or by steam.
The checking, cleaning, testing and servicing of smoke alarms is conducted by licensed and qualified electronic alarm technicians.
