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.

Regardless of the type of work environment your business operates within, it should have an up-to-date emergency plan which includes an evacuation and nurse call system. Depending on the type of system, you might need a specialist to hard wire it into your premises. If you’re using an Orisent system, you’ll just need to identify where you want to install your evacuation or nurse call triggers, and evacuation sirens, then power up your devices and test.

In the modern business ecosystem, a robust workplace safety program is no longer a mere regulatory requirement but a fundamental cornerstone in optimising a company’s bottom line. Many businesses tend to overlook the economic benefits that a well-structured safety program can bring, often viewing it as an obligatory expense rather than an investment.

This perspective, however, needs a revision. In fact, implementing a proactive safety program can contribute to improved productivity, employee satisfaction, and substantial financial savings.

In An Evacuation Emergency, How Will The Event Be Handled?

When a site evacuation is required, the speed with which the workforce mobilises and evacuates the site is critical. Many businesses install some sort of evacuation notification system for workers but have you considered whether there’s bottlenecks or friction in your process? Our construction customers identified a common problem with their site evacuations that we’ve worked with another supplier to solve.

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.
