Lockdown Alert System
Helping you to understand the dangers that schools face and the solutions that match them. Leaving you with a secure school lockdown system.
Making schools a safer place
School's are a safe place for both pupils and staff as there are plenty of laws in the UK that make sure this is the case. However, there are still dangers outside peoples control that a school needs to be cautious of.
To secure this sense of safety, steps need to be taken towards preparing for threats. This could involve installing CCTV, establishing a safety area or introducing instant communication methods across the entire school. There's plenty of actions you can take for a schools safety.
Your Lockdown Alert System
Every school practices . But what if the normal evacuation place isn't safe? Then a lockdown needs to take place, or in some cases, an invacuation. How do you alert an entire school to the difference though? The DfE recommends a set of different alert sounds for different scenarios to avoid confusion in an emergency.
A lockdown alert system is a fully wireless alert system with a library of sounds that can be easily distinguished from each other, allowing you to set dedicated sounds for each alert. When there is an active threat outside the school then it would be a disaster to evacuate the premises. So activating the fire alarm or something that sounds similar to it is the last thing you want to do.
School-wide connection
A lockdown alert system needs to be fully capable of covering any school and offering an instant alert at the push of an emergency alert button.
Working both indoors and outdoors. There's no need to run cables to these units during instalation. The alarms are battery powered, allowing you to alert students and staff during break/lunch with no worries of the alarm being missed.
Clarity and Alertness
Invacuation and Lockdown alerts have to be unique and clear in their purpose. They also have to do this without putting anyone in danger so it can’t be a manual alert from a member of staff that would draw the attention of any potential threat.
Setting a specific alarm sound with a pre recorded announcement that can be configured to exactly what you need is the best way to increase safety.
By training your staff on what needs to be done in these situations, you can clearly alert the school to an issue and then let everyone follow safety plans.
