Disabled Refuge System
A disabled refuge system is a monitored, battery-backed system that is designed to assist the physically impaired, wheelchair users, pregnant women and any individual in need of assistance when evacuating a building.
TopTech Fire & Security install and maintain disabled refuge systems in non-residential buildings with more than one storey to allow for easy communication between fire rescue teams and the general public.
In every building where a disabled refuge system is present, a designated refuge area will provide a space for individuals to wait for help during the evacuation of a building - such as during a fire.
The occupier of a disabled refuge area and the individuals operating the building control panel will be able to easily communicate by way of a two-way hands-free intercom style system.
We install Emergency Voice Communication (EVC) Systems that have been specifically designed to meet the rising demand for fully compliant BS 5839 Part 9 disabled refuge systems.
