Disabled Refuge
The safe evacuation of any building has always been a challenge to the emergency services. The safety of the disabled who are often unable to self-evacuate efficiently has always been important. Problems have often surfaced when trying manually handle disabled persons, especially down sets of stairs.A solution comes in the form of temporary areas of safety which are known as refuge areas. The disabled person who is in need of assistance is helped to the nearest refuge area to await evacuation.
When an emergency occurs staff will evacuate wheelchair-restricted customers to a refuge area. Staff will then activate the Refuge Area Remote Unit, which lights a Refuge Occupied indicator on main Control Panel. The Fire Officer is then able to communicate with the occupants of the refuge areas. Each activated disabled refuge system has an auto listening facility to monitor activity in the Refuge Area. As each disabled person is moved to safety, the system can be reset via a key operated switch on the Refuge Area Remote Unit / Outstation. Ablaze Building Solutions Ltd provide Disabled Refuge and EVC Systems throughout the United Kingdom.

- Compliance with British and European Standards
