Evacuate Syren

Evacuation Siren Types and Considerations

A crucial aspect of emergency preparedness is the inclusion of an evacuation alarm system which often includes at least one evacuation siren. Sirens play a pivotal role in alerting people to imminent danger and guiding them to safety. The warning tends to be universal regardless of language, location, age, or job role. When a siren sounds you know it’s warning you to imminent danger and strongly suggesting you either relocate to a safer place or lockdown to avoid the danger.

Radio Frequency Or Cellular?

When you were younger you probably played with a set of walkie talkies. You took one and your friend took the other, then you spread out and talked to one another. But there were limits – range, obstructions, and battery life – which impacted how far apart you could stand from one another, and how long you could use them before recharging.

Working With Human Error

‘Human Error’ has long been identified as a contributing factor to incident causation

Commonly cited statistics claim that human error is responsible for anywhere between 70-100% of workplace safety incidents.  While it’s tempting as a business to apportion blame to a person or group of people, it ignores conditions and processes that may have contributed to the incident. It also highlights that no matter how ‘safe’ your workplace is, there’s always a chance that a workplace emergency will occur when humans are involved.

Digitizing Evacuations

Your Emergency System Should Be Evolving

Traditional evacuation systems require a fair amount of specialist installation, management and maintenance because they tend to be hard wired and permanently positioned. They also use a ‘press and guess’ approach in that there’s little visibility on the system’s power or connectivity.

That leads to a high level of assumption that when a worker triggers an alert, the system will work. But in an emergency event that’s not good enough. Technology is constantly evolving to utilise 21st-century innovations and the powerful computer we’re all carrying around in our pockets. Emergency systems should be evolving as well.
