Disabled Refuge Systems

Disabled Refuge & Evacuation Chairs

Trusted and proven solutions

Current Building Regulations state that all new non-dwelling buildings over one storey should provide refuge areas for persons who cannot easily use stairways in an emergency. The regulations require that a system must be in place that provides two way communication that allows Wardens, Fire Marshalls and rescue teams to speak directly to those in refuge areas to determine what assistance is required.

It is especially important to consider how you would evacuate a disabled, injured or pregnant person from the building in an emergency and in particular if stairs will be used in their escape. In multiple floor buildings it is likely that disabled or pregnant workers/visitors will have used the lift to access floors of the building but will now need to use the stairs to escape.
