EMERGENCY WARNING ALARM ASSESSMENT AND DESIGN FOR NEW AND EXISTING SYSTEMS

Toward this service we evaluate the design of a new facility, or most often an existing alarm system, and then develop a customized design to provide an effective multi-function, multi-level emergency warning and notification system for an entire facility. All employers are required to satisfy the guidelines set forth by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) regulations on emergency warning alarm and notification systems (e.g., CFR 1910.165). However, besides OSHA, we recommend the requirements of ISO Standard 7731 (Danger Signals for Work Places - Auditory Danger Singals), and the NFPA code No. 72 be used to derive the appropriate system design. Furthermore, specific plant requirements should be included in the design criteria to guarantee acceptance and satisfaction by all plant personnel. Consequently, we work closely with our clients to determine the optimum design tailored to the clients needs.
