Disabled Refuge Systems
It is now a legal requirement that all new non-domestic buildings, which have more that one storey, must provide a safe 'refuge' area for disabled people who are unable to exit a building using the dedicated escape routes. Emergency Voice Communication Systems must be installed to allow two-way communication between the fire service/building management and the people in the refuge area to aid a safe evacuation.
Emergency Voice Communication Systems can be:
Fire Telephone System
Disabled Refuge System
Emergency/Steward Telephone System
Why are they needed?
To communicate with people in refuge areas
To communicate and provide instruction to all occupants of a building during an emergency situation
To communicate with all emergency personnel to aid fire fighting and to ensure a controlled evacuation
To comply with current building regulations
Cintrix Systems can supply, install, commission and maintain fixed, secure, bi-directional, full duplex voice communication systems to assist fire fighters in an emergency, especially on sites where radio communication may be restricted. Our systems cover the operation of both fire telephones and disabled refuge systems and comply with BS5839-9:2003.
