Public Address Voice Alarm Fire Alarm System

Public Address Voice Alarm Systems provide a safe working environment allowing information to be communicated to people at any time.

The broadcasting of announcements and ambient music in areas such as shopping centres, stadia, etc are some of the many uses a PAVA System offers. If an incident occurs the PAVA System can help in the safe and orderly evacuation of people from an area of danger.

Under BS5588 Public Address Voice Alarm Systems (VA) are recommended for all public buildings and multi story buildings over four floors. Voice Alarm systems are the quickest way to evacuate the public & staff from a building. The broadcasting of announcements and ambient music in areas such as shopping centres, stadia, etc are some of the many uses a PAVA System offers. If an incident occurs the PAVA System can help in the safe and orderly evacuation of people from an area of danger.

Following fire detection, automated messages control the flow of people in stair wells and corridors allowing an orderly evacuation without panic. These messages are supplemented by spoken messages from the fire service or management suite confirming the validity and need to leave the building. This positive confirmation speeds evacuation and avoids the "false alarm" mentality reducing the risk of death from fire.
