Disabled Refuge / WC Alarms

Disabled Refuge and WC Alarms are indispensable components of accessible building design, ensuring the safety and well-being of individuals with disabilities. Disabled refuge systems provide designated safe areas within buildings where people with mobility challenges can await assistance during an emergency evacuation. These areas are equipped with communication devices, enabling occupants to alert designated staff or emergency services for help. WC alarms, on the other hand, are designed for accessible restrooms, ensuring that individuals with disabilities can easily request assistance in case of emergencies. 

These alarms typically consist of pull cords or other accessible devices that, when activated, alert nearby staff or carers, allowing swift response to the user’s needs. By integrating disabled refuge and WC alarms into building designs, architects and facility managers demonstrate a commitment to inclusivity and safety, ensuring that everyone, regardless of their abilities, can navigate and evacuate buildings securely.
