Experts in fire safety, so you don’t have to be

In recent years, the focus on fire safety in high-rise residential buildings has amplified 10-fold. Now with new building regulations and fire safety guidance in place, navigating and ensuring you comply with these new standards is a top-of-mind challenge for developers, contractors, engineers and end users alike. Added to that is the requirement to safeguard the residents who call these buildings home.

In an emergency evacuation event, you want to know that you have a robust, professional and compliant system in place to facilitate the safe and orderly evacuation of a building should the ‘stay put order’ fail. Many buildings still rely on the fire and rescue services (FRS) going door to door to notify residents to evacuate, losing precious time, putting fire and rescue personnel and residents at greater risk and removing valuable resources from the most important job at hand – getting the fire under control.

That’s why Johnson Controls are proud to introduce a High-Rise Evacuation Alert System which is BS 8629:2019 compliant and simple to use, allowing the building to be evacuated zone by zone or floor by floor, dependent on the individual building and situational requirements, thereby saving lives.
