The Importance of Safe Environments for Educational Institutes
Schools must be safe. From classroom to auditorium, from the gym to the secretary’s office. They need to be safe both on ordinary school days and in emergencies. The use of communication systems in the security concept plays a key role in this regard, as these systems aid in and significantly accelerate both comprehension and crisis management procedures.
Our public address and security concepts, developed specifically for schools, includes an integrated alarm and communication system through which...
Emergencies are immediately reported to a central location.
The nature and extent of the danger are verified via voice communication.
Announcements and instructions are transmitted audibly to all persons in the building.
Measures to assist and protect students can be taken immediately.
Complete monitoring of the system is possible.
The system can also be used for internal everyday communication such as class change and general announcements.
Functional and flexible combinations of an intercom and voice alarm system makes it possible to achieve maximum communication and safety.
Lockdown Solutions
School Lockdown is a new terminology in education so, what does it mean. Unlike evacuation where people leave the building, lockdown is an emergency action where people are prevented from entering or leaving an area for a certain period. Normally triggered, in the event of the threat of danger, in a school it allows staff to stay or move themselves and their students to areas of designated security to ensure maximum well-being and protection.
Many schools in the UK now have a lockdown procedure as part of their evacuation plan. TOA’s extensive product range allows us to combine systems to provide the security that staff and pupils need in the event of an incident.
The TOA Technical are on hand for system design advice and solutions.
