OBREGON BREWERY
INTRODUCTION
False alarms are disruptive to the Operations and Maintenance of this Facility contributing to unnecessary
production shutdowns and add to a dangerous complacency in those occupants, who may be slower to
evacuate the facility in an actual emergency. Subcontractors and Construction Managers can help prevent false
alarms by taking the following measures prior to and during construction. As part of your pre-construction
meeting a focus on false alarms should be conducted to discuss preventative measures included in the daily
Permits.
Review and establish what types of temporary fire partition and dust barrier measures are necessary for the
specific job site or location. Barriers should be erected and inspected prior to any demolition or dust generating
activities.
If dust, painting or steam producing activity cannot be avoided, assess the proximity of fire detection devices in
the area and confer with CCO Plant Management to identify which devices could be removed, bagged, or
otherwise covered or disabled. Duct detectors and other devices that may be hidden can be identified through
record drawings. Covering of devices must be performed by the Subcontractor of permit record at the beginning
of each shift and immediately removed at the end of each shift. Care should be taken when removing covers as
the act of removing the cover may trip the alarm.
Contact CCO Plant Management to determine if a fire watch will be required by the Subcontractor while the fire
alarm devices are impaired. The Subcontractor may serve as fire watch in most cases.
If the project has caused a false alarm, the incident must be reviewed, and measures taken to prevent
reoccurrence. This discussion should take place at the regular project construction meeting.
