Hi, 

 

Are you aware if it is a legal requirement for commercial tenants to be notified of a fire alarm sounder test prior to the test being carried out every week under the health and safety at work act? They are aware of a window when it is due to be tested. 

Thanks

No, it's not a legal requirement. As it's not always practical to stick to a defined time a test window on the designated day isn't that uncommon. Even where a specific time is used staff should know to evacuate if the alarm continues to sound longer than normal.
