Voice alarm systems for building evacuation
Vinçotte helps you to increase the safety of the people in your building by means of a conformity check of the voice alarm systems (VAS)
While "conventional" fire alarm systems, equipped with sirens emitting an audible signal, are suitable in situations where the building's occupants are familiar with the building's layout and associated emergency procedures, the added value of voice alarm systems is more than proven. Thanks to the voice message, people panic less, because they clearly understand what to do in an emergency situation when evacuating the building.
