That said, for an organisation that functions in a completely different market to have the foresight, let alone knowledge to suitably add this service to its portfolio is another challenge altogether. For many, such conceptulisations are ditched at the first sight of an obsticle, but not at Mick George Ltd.

False alarms and unwanted fire signals can be costly on any project and can also lead to complacency in those needing to respond. However, installing a wireless fire alarm can have huge benefits for construction sites, and will ultimately ensure workers are protected on site.
A major innovation in wireless emergency fire, first aid, and intruder alarms for construction sites, the Cygnus radio module, manufactured by Bull Products, has been designed for specific use on construction sites where changing site conditions and environments demand a far higher performance from the radio than that found in standard industry wireless linked fire systems.
