Five Answers To Common Emergency Evacuation System Questions

What’s A Workplace Evacuation System?

Fire is a potential hazard in all workplaces but some industries – particularly where there are open flames, flammable equipment, and sparks – are more of a risk than others. But fire isn’t the only reason a workplace might need to be evacuated. There could be a gas leak, a security risk, or a structural issue.

An evacuation system can be comprised of hardware like smoke sensors, evac triggers, and evac sirens, manual equipment like air horns and megaphones, or sometimes word of mouth. It’s critical that whatever system configuration a workplace installs and uses takes into account the type of risk, the level of risk, and the speed with which workers are told what to do in order to take action. Clear communication about the event – and expectations for those on site – is imperative.

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.

Sites That Evolve On A Daily Basis Can Be Riskier For Workers

Construction sites are full of heavy equipment and risky working conditions, so safety is always a concern. Thanks to technology, it is now possible to create safer working conditions for construction workers and introduce efficiency in monitoring construction sites. Even though drones entered the scene as a novelty, the technology has now found widespread applications in many industries. One such important application of drone technology is on construction sites.

Using Smart Technology

Technology is constantly evolving to utilise 21st century innovations, so it stands to reason that worksite processes and equipment should be evolving as well. Using smart technology in the construction industry saves time by minimising repetition, increasing visibility, reducing manual tasks, and proactively alerting personnel to issues.

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.
