In an emergency, safe evacuation procedures must consider all building occupants, including those with mobility impairments. At SEL Constructions (AL) Ltd, we specialise in professional disabled refuge installation, ensuring that individuals who require assistance during an evacuation have a safe, designated waiting area equipped with a reliable emergency communication system.
A disabled refuge system provides a secure space where individuals can call for assistance and communicate with emergency personnel during a fire, power failure, or other incidents. These systems are essential in multi-storey buildings, commercial premises, and public spaces, ensuring compliance with UK fire safety and accessibility regulations.
During an emergency, lifts are often out of use, and stairs may not be accessible for individuals with mobility challenges. A properly installed disabled refuge system ensures that these individuals have a safe location to wait for help, with two-way voice communication to request assistance.
The Equality Act 2010, along with BS 9999 and BS 5839-9, requires buildings to provide accessible refuge points equipped with emergency intercoms, allowing effective communication between those in need and rescue teams. By installing a compliant disabled refuge system, businesses and property owners prioritise safety and inclusivity while meeting legal requirements.
We assess your building layout to determine the best locations for refuge points and design a compliant, efficient system tailored to your property’s requirements.
We install clear refuge signage, robust emergency intercoms, and accessible call points, ensuring ease of use and reliable communication.
Our disabled refuge systems are designed to work alongside fire alarms, evacuation procedures, and emergency lighting, creating a fully integrated safety solution.
After installation, we conduct rigorous system testing, provide compliance certification, and offer training so staff understand how to operate and maintain the system.
