The safe and efficient emergency evacuation of any structure, be it a large shopping centre, a cinema, office, school or college has always been a challenge to the building management and emergency services. Safety of disabled users who are unable to self-evacuate has always been of paramount importance. Manually handling disabled patrons, especially down stairwells, has always been problematic.
A solution comes in the form of temporary areas of safety – ‘refuge areas’. The person in need of assistance is helped to the nearest refuge area to await safe evacuation.
An EVC (emergency voice communication) system (commonly known as a Disabled Refuge System) allows firefighters and staff to communicate with one another, and persons awaiting safe evacuation in Refuge Areas, during emergency situations.
All CDS Security & Fire all Disabled Refuge and Voice Evacuation Systems are designed, installed, commissioned and maintained to relevant British and European Standards; BS5839 , BS5588 and the Equality Act.
