It is a requirement that fire alarm systems are tested weekly
within workplaces. The Trust's Estates department are
responsible for testing the fire alarm, this is generally
performed on the same day of the week and at
approximately the same time.
 
If you hear the sound of the fire alarm outside the test period
it is very important that you respond in accordance with your
local evacuation procedure just in case it is a real fire
situation.
