Disabled Refuge Alarm Systems
According to current Building Regulations, any new non-residential buildings with multiple levels must include designated “refuge” areas. These areas serve as secure locations where individuals who may have difficulty using fire escapes or evacuation lifts can seek safety and wait for help to arrive.
Disabled Refuge Systems, also known as Emergency Voice Communication Systems (EVCs), provide a simple yet effective means of two-way communication for these refuge areas. These systems enable rescue teams to pinpoint where assistance is needed and offer reassurance to individuals that help is on the way. Furthermore, trained personnel can use these systems in venues such as sports stadiums to facilitate the orderly evacuation of people during emergencies.
Newmax can install, upgrade, and maintain these systems. We collaborate directly with some of the top manufacturers of life safety systems, ensuring our engineers are equipped with the latest information and technology. This enables us to keep your building compliant with regulations and ensure the safety of its occupants.
