Question: Are your workplace aware that it's both pointless, nuisance-creating, council-enforceable (noise nuisance) and quite possibly illegal for a burglar alarm to sound for more than 20 minutes continuously (fire alarms, maybe, but even so if it's sounding unnecessarily)?

Seriously, what possible purpose could it ever serve to sound for longer than that (you can have some indicator that the alarm has sounded, if you like, but there's no need for it to sound continuously unless lives are at risk)?
