Working from heights is an essential part of many jobs and projects, but it also comes with inherent risks. Falls from heights can result in severe injuries or even fatalities if proper safety precautions are not taken. To ensure a safe working environment when working at heights, it's crucial to follow a set of guidelines and practices such as regular workforce training, adherence to guidelines, using harnesses, and setting ladders and scaffolding up properly. It's also critical to have an effective nurse call and evacuation system in place so if there is an accident, workers can quickly notify emergency response personnel, who can coordinate first aid and - if necessary - a site evacuation or lockdown.

Workplace safety is a crucial aspect of any organisation. It ensures the well-being of employees and reduces the risk of accidents and injuries. By prioritising workplace safety, companies can create a positive work environment and improve productivity. It is essential for every employee to understand the importance of workplace safety and actively participate in maintaining a safe workplace.

When installing smoke alarms, evacuation systems, or nurse call systems at your workplace there is always the potential for false alarms. These erroneous reports of emergencies can lead to unnecessary panic and the misallocation of resources, such as emergency response personnel and carers, to places where they are not needed. False alarms pose a significant risk, as they can divert emergency responders away from genuine emergencies, with the worst outcome a loss of life. Repeated false alarms in a specific area can also lead worker to develop alarm fatigue, causing them to disregard an alarm, assuming it's false. When considering an emergency alert system, it's crucial to consider how that system addresses false alarm prevention as part of your purchasing decision. Neglecting this can have costly consequences for you and your business.

Are you frequently involved in electrical project proposals for Australian or New Zealand construction firms? Our emergency evacuation and nurse call systems are specified by the likes of Mirvac, Multiplex, Lendlease, Hutchinson Builders, Roberts Co, ICON, and BESIXWatpac, and we would like to extend our expertise and services to you.

Evacuation emergencies can happen at a workplace, regardless of how prepared and 'safe' the site is. Unforeseen incidents such as natural disasters, flooding, a environmental risk (such as summer temperatures), or a security breach that puts workers and visitors at risk, can require a full or partial site evacuation. Make sure you have the right system in place.

We're collaborating with Icon Construction to contribute to its mission to "create a positive culture with a robust safety and risk management system". Our easy-to-use evacuation and nurse call triggers and sirens, world-class operating system, and smartphone app improve emergency event communication for everyone on site.
