Evac Alert Central London – Specialist Evacuation Alert Systems from Artius Fire Protection
When an emergency occurs in a high-rise residential building, the fire and rescue service may need a reliable way to alert people on particular floors or in particular areas that they should evacuate. This is where a professionally installed evacuation alert system becomes an important part of a building’s overall fire safety arrangements.
For reliable Evac Alert Central London services, Artius Fire Protection provides specialist support designed around the needs of high-rise residential properties. Evac-Alert systems are designed to assist the fire and rescue services with the safe and orderly evacuation of buildings containing flats and can form an important part of a wider approach to fire safety. Artius offers BS 8629:2019 compliant evacuation alert solutions alongside its broader range of accredited fire protection services.
What Is an Evac Alert System?
An evacuation alert system is different from an ordinary fire alarm. A conventional fire alarm is primarily intended to warn occupants when a fire is detected. An Evac Alert system is specifically designed to provide the fire and rescue service with a means of controlling evacuation alerts during an emergency.
In simple terms, firefighters can use the system to tell occupants in selected parts of a building that they need to leave.
For property managers and responsible persons who may not deal with this technology every day, our specialist fire protection team can explain the system clearly, without unnecessary technical jargon.
Why Are Evac Alert Systems Important?
High-rise residential buildings can present particular challenges during an emergency. Depending on the circumstances, evacuating everyone simultaneously may not always be the safest or most practical approach.
An Evac Alert system gives the attending fire and rescue service additional control over how evacuation alerts are communicated within a building. This can help support a more organised response when circumstances require people to leave particular areas.
Artius Fire Protection provides fire safety services that help building owners, landlords, managing agents and facilities professionals address important fire protection responsibilities with confidence.
Understanding BS 8629
BS 8629 is the British code of practice covering the design, installation, commissioning and maintenance of evacuation alert systems for use by fire and rescue services in buildings containing flats.
For customers, the most important point is that an Evac Alert system should not simply be treated as another alarm. It has a specific purpose and needs to be designed and installed correctly.
Choosing professional fire safety support helps ensure that important decisions are based on the building, its fire safety requirements and the relevant guidance rather than assumptions.
A Complete Approach to Building Fire Safety
Evac Alert is only one element of fire protection. Depending on the property, effective precautions may also involve fire alarms, smoke control, fire extinguishers, emergency lighting, fire doors, suppression systems and other measures.
