An evacuation system serves to warn people on a site or in a building about any potentially life-threatening hazard so that they can immediately leave the premises as quickly and safely as possible to the designated evacuation area.

But do you know how effective your current evacuation system is? Can you safely evacuate your site quickly and easily in the event of an incident? Can you alert all personnel on site of a potential life-threatening situation? Do you practice evacuation drills regularly?

Checkpoint can assist with the design of a site evacuation system for a broad range of environments, be it a construction site, warehouse, manufacturing facility, factory, storage facility, waste processing facility, shipyard or any other worksite.

The purpose of an evacuation system is to warn persons within the site of a fire or other potentially life-threatening hazard. The audible and visual components of the system alert everyone present to immediately leave the building and proceed as quickly as possible to the evacuation area.

Commonly, an evacuation system consists of a loud siren (or a number of sirens) combined with strobe lights or any other visual alert device. Visual strobe lights are useful in very noisy areas or areas where there may be persons with a hearing impairment or wearing PPE such as earmuffs. The Cygnus combined siren and strobe device has a high pitched audible tone, with the frequency designed to penetrate over normal construction/manufacturing operational noise.

The added benefit of the Cygnus evacuation system is that it is entirely battery powered, meaning you can safely evacuate your site, even in a power outage.

The wireless functionality of the system means it is very easy to retrofit to an existing structure, as there are no cables that need to be run.
