29.4.1 Action by the User after Any Fire (Whether Detected Automatically or Not)
The responsible person should ensure that the following work is carried out as soon as possible after any
fire, and that normal use of the area is not resumed until the work is carried out.
1. A visual examination should be made of any part of the PA/VA system that lies within the fire area or
which might have been damaged by the fire. Such parts may include the VAR8 and interconnections.
2. Any defect found should be recorded in the log book and immediate action taken to correct the defect.
3. The organisation responsible for servicing the system should be informed of the fire and of any defects
on the system, and instructed to carry out a check of the system.
On completion of the work, a Certificate of Testing should be given to the responsible person.
29.4.2 Action Following a Fault
If a fault has been shown to exist, either by the system’s own monitoring or by any other method, then the
responsible person should ensure that the following actions are taken:
1. Determine the area affected by the fault and decide whether special action, such as fire patrols, is
needed in that area;
2. If possible, determine the reason for the fault, or note the activities immediately prior to the fault in the
area affected;
3. Record the fault in the log book, inform the organisation responsible for servicing, and arrange for repair.
