Disabled refuge systems

Current Building Regulations insist all new non-domestic buildings with more than one story provide ‘refuge’ areas – relatively safe places where people who cannot easily use fire escapes and evacuation lifts can call for assistance and wait until help arrives.

Simple, effective two-way communication in these areas is essential, firstly to assist rescue teams in determining where assistance is required and secondly to reassure people help is on the way.

The systems installed have been specifically designed by our manufacturers to meet the rising demand for fully compliant BS 5839 Part 9 disabled refuge systems.

NC951 Disabled Persons Toilet Alarm

C-Tec market-leading NC951 Disabled Persons Toilet Alarm kit includes everything required for a BS8300 clause compliant emergency assistance alarm (except cables and fixings).

Attractively designed, easy to install and simple to use, it allows a distressed person to raise an alarm in the event of an emergency. To operate, the user simply pulls the cord of a ceiling pull unit to activate a light and sounder outside the WC.

Tried, trusted, and respected by users and installers alike, the NC951 can help building managers and service providers comply with the requirements of BS8300, the Equality Act2010, the Care Standards Act and the English Tourism Council’s National Accessibility Scheme.

Quantec Addressable Call System

Revolutionary – that’s just one of the words that have been used to describe Quantec.

Recently updated to include a host of new features, the way the system operates can be tailored to suit a care facility’s specific requirements. For example, different day, night, and call divert arrangements can be easily accommodated to meet the exact operational needs and precise layout of any building.

This flexibility, coupled with many other advanced features such as multiple call levels, free built-in data logging, simple system reprogramming and full monitoring of all network devices, makes Quantec the obvious choice for nursing homes, hospitals, health centres and many other private and public sector establishments

Infra-red Staff Protection Systems

For security guards, prison officers and drug rehabilitation workers, the threat of

personal attack is all too apparent. Unfortunately, in today’s increasingly

violent society, doctors, nurses, teachers, civil servants, shop workers,

night porters and cashiers are just as vulnerable.

The problem is, how do you safeguard against the risks?

Quantec Responder, the infrared staff protection system that

highlights exactly where an attack is taking place within seconds.
