These systems typically include alarms, emergency lighting, and clear signage to guide people to safety.

Evacuation Systems We Offer

To ensure you’re compliant to the latest standards, we deploy a wide roster of technologies and solutions. Here’s a few.

Voice Alarm Systems (PAVA): Clear and Controlled Evacuation

Public Address and Voice Alarm (PAVA) systems are crucial for providing clear, intelligible instructions during an emergency. Unlike traditional bells or sirens, PAVA systems use pre-recorded messages or live announcements to guide people to safety. This reduces confusion and helps ensure a calm, orderly evacuation.

Emergency Lighting: Illuminating the Exit Route

When the power goes out, emergency lighting is essential for maintaining visibility and guiding occupants to safety. These systems automatically activate during a power failure, illuminating escape routes, stairwells, and exits. This ensures people can still evacuate safely, even in complete darkness.

Disabled Refuge Systems: Safe Spaces in Emergencies

Disabled refuge systems provide a safe, temporary waiting area for people with disabilities who may not be able to evacuate immediately. These systems typically include two-way communication with emergency services, allowing them to call for assistance. This ensures that everyone, regardless of mobility, has a safe place to await rescue.

Integrated Evacuation Solutions: A Coordinated Response

For maximum effectiveness, your evacuation system can be integrated with other building management systems. This might include linking it to your fire detection system, access control, and even CCTV. An integrated approach ensures a coordinated response in an emergency, improving safety and streamlining evacuation procedures.

Understanding the Different Components of an Evacuation System

A well-designed evacuation system is crucial for ensuring the safety of everyone in your building. It’s not just about having alarms; it’s about a comprehensive approach that guides people to safety effectively. When considering an evacuation system, it is worth understanding the different components involved, such as:

  • Voice Alarm Systems (PAVA): These use clear, spoken messages instead of confusing sirens, helping to ensure a calm and orderly evacuation.
  • Emergency Lighting: This automatically illuminates escape routes during a power outage, allowing people to evacuate safely even in darkness.
  • Disabled Refuge Systems: These provide a safe waiting area for people with disabilities, with two-way communication to emergency services.
  • Visual Alarm Devices: Often overlooked, visual alarm devices such as strobes or flashing beacons are essential for alerting those who may be deaf or hard of hearing.

Understanding these components will help you make informed decisions when choosing or upgrading your system.

The Importance of a Tailored and Integrated Approach

Every building is different, and so are its evacuation needs. That’s why a tailored approach is so important. A properly designed system will take into account your building’s layout, occupancy levels, and any specific risks.

It’s also becoming increasingly common to integrate evacuation systems with other building management systems, such as fire detection and access control.

For example, if a fire alarm is triggered, the evacuation system can automatically unlock certain doors, activate emergency lighting, and provide voice guidance, while also alerting the fire brigade. This integrated approach provides a more coordinated and effective response, significantly improving safety and reducing response times during an emergency

Choosing the Right Evacuation System and Maintaining Compliance

Selecting the right evacuation system can seem daunting, but it’s about finding what best fits your specific circumstances. It is also important to make sure your system meets all relevant regulations and standards. Here are some key things to consider:

Building Regulations: Ensure your system complies with current building regulations for your specific type of premises.

Regular Testing and Maintenance: Regular testing is essential to ensure your system is functioning correctly and will perform as expected in an emergency.

Staff Training: Make sure your staff are properly trained on evacuation procedures and how to use the system.

Risk Assessments: Conduct regular fire risk assessments to identify any potential hazards and update your evacuation plan accordingly.

By paying attention to these points, and seeking professional advice, you can be confident that you’re providing a safe environment for everyone in your building.
