Industrial alarm systems for Irish facilities

Fire and security compliance in Irish industrial facilities

Industrial sites carry a level of fire and security complexity that a typical commercial unit doesn’t. Under the Fire Services Act 1981 and 2003, the person in control of a premises has a duty to ensure the safety of everyone on site in the event of a fire, and Part B of the Building Regulations requires adequate fire detection, alarm systems, and safe exit routes throughout. Appendix E specifically addresses risk assessment in industrial and storage buildings, reflecting the higher fire loads and hazards often present on sites handling machinery, stored goods, or flammable materials. 

There’s a separate duty of care under the Safety, Health and Welfare at Work Act 2005, which requires employers to identify fire hazards, assess risk, and maintain a written fire safety record. Fire detection and alarm systems on industrial sites should be designed, installed, and maintained to IS 3218:2013, the Irish Standard covering commercial and industrial buildings. Getting this wrong carries real consequences, from prosecution and closure orders to invalidated insurance, which is why site owners and operators need a partner who understands the scale and complexity involved, not just a standard commercial installer. 

That’s where Stalwart comes in. Headquartered in Cork and operating nationwide, we design and install integrated fire and security systems for commercial and industrial clients across Ireland, bringing everything from fire detection to CCTV and access control together under one system rather than leaving you to manage separate contractors for each. We’re PSA licensed, Amtivo certified, and EQA certified, with 25 years of experience behind every site we work on. 

Our fire and security systems for industrial facilities

We provide a full range of fire and security systems designed to meet the specific demands of factories, warehouses, and industrial sites across Ireland. 

Fire Detection Systems

Automatic fire detection designed for large-scale, high-hazard industrial environments, built to IS 3218 compliant standards. We handle regular servicing and certification so your system stays compliant year after year. 

Emergency Lighting Systems 

Emergency lighting is a legal requirement across industrial buildings, guiding staff to safety across large or complex floor plans if main power fails. We install and service every system to Building Regulations standard. 

CCTV Installation 

CCTV coverage across perimeters, yards, loading bays, and internal areas deters theft of stock and equipment and supports any incident investigation should something go wrong. 

Access Control Systems

Controlling access to sites, warehouses, and restricted areas such as plant rooms or hazardous storage protects both your staff and your highest-value assets. 

Intruder alarm systems 

Out-of-hours protection for large sites, backed by monitored alarm response, reduces the risk of break-ins and stock loss when your premises are unattended. 

Monitoring & Maintenance

Controlled vehicle and visitor access is particularly valuable for sites with HGV traffic, busy yards, or multiple entry points, keeping movement on site secure and manageable. 

One platform for your entire site


Large or multi-building industrial facilities need more than a collection of separate systems working in isolation. Stalwart designs and manages centralised platforms that bring fire detection, security, and access control together under a single dashboard. 

That means full visibility across your entire site from one place, simplified compliance reporting, and no gaps between systems that were never designed to talk to each other in the first place. For facilities managers juggling multiple buildings or a sprawling site, this is the difference between constantly chasing separate contractors and having one clear picture of your site’s safety and security status at any time.
