Texas Fire Alarm License Practice Test

Which statement is true about unlicensed individuals installing fire systems?

1. They can perform any installations without supervision

2. They must always be supervised by a licensed individual

3. They can install any equipment without restrictions

4. They are allowed to install commercial systems

The correct answer is: They must always be supervised by a licensed individual

The statement indicating that unlicensed individuals must always be supervised by a licensed individual is true because regulations governing fire alarm systems are designed to ensure safety and compliance with established standards. The supervision by a licensed individual protects both the integrity of the fire alarm systems being installed and the safety of the public. By requiring that unlicensed individuals work under the guidance of someone who is properly licensed, the industry ensures that installations meet the necessary codes and standards. This helps prevent errors that could lead to malfunctioning alarm systems, which in turn could put lives at risk in emergency situations. Supervision guarantees that unlicensed workers receive the appropriate training and oversight to complete their tasks correctly and safely, thus upholding the quality and reliability of fire safety measures.
