Emergency Voice Communication System
An EVC (Emergency Voice Communication) system (commonly known as a Disabled Refuge System) allows firefighters and staff to communicate, with persons awaiting safe evacuation in refuge areas, during emergency situations.
It enables people who seek assistance to have a constant two-way communication with emergency services from a number of points throughout a building or building complex, particularly in a fire emergency situation.
The Equality Act (2010) ensures that disabled people are treated equally, this includes responsibility on all businesses to ensure that everyone has access to buildings and services.
The provision of a safe refuge area enables the person who requires assistance to make their way to the closest designated area and await an evacuation.
Type A Outstations
'Type A' telephone-style outstations are designed for use in stadium marshalling systems and other emergency evacuation applications. Comprising a telephone handset in a push-to-open or key lockable red steel cabinet, they are typically located at entrances and fire-fighting lobbies to allow fire marshals and other trained personnel to communicate with building control during an emergency.
