Emergency Voice
Communication Systems (EVCS)
Hands-free, compliant voice systems that support safe evacuation and protect vulnerable occupants during emergencies.
In an emergency, reliable two-way communication is vital especially for those in refuge areas or during staged evacuations. Emergency Voice Communication Systems (EVCS) enable clear, hands-free voice contact between occupants and control points, ensuring the safe and orderly movement of people during a fire or critical event.
EA-RS designs and installs EVCS that are fully compliant with BS 5839-9 and suitable for a wide range of environments including hospitals, care homes, shopping centres, transport hubs, and residential towers.
At EA-RS, we design water mist solutions for a range of applications from server rooms to listed heritage buildings. This ensuring that your assets and operations are protected with minimal disruption. Whether used standalone or alongside other systems, our designs meet the latest industry standards and offer an environmentally conscious alternative to conventional sprinklers.
EVCS allows disabled individuals or mobility-impaired persons to alert building control or emergency services from designated refuge points, ensuring they are not left behind during evacuations.
Required in buildings over a certain height or occupancy type, our systems ensure full compliance with BS5839-9, Disability Discrimination Act (DDA), and building safety legislation.
Voice communication is crystal clear even in noisy environments, with anti-feedback and volume control. This then provides confidence during high-stress situations.
From a single refuge point to complex multi-building estates, our systems grow with your site’s requirements and can integrate with fire alarms, PAVA, and building management systems.
Keep up to date with the latest news, insights and product innovations. Our Resources Hub contains all our latest thought leadership, guides, brochures, datasheets, videos, webinars and more.
Tamper-proof, easy-to-use call points feature illuminated indicators, hands-free operation, and tactile buttons suitable for use in low-light or smoke-filled conditions.
Separate handsets for emergency staff or fire services offer full-duplex communication with any refuge area or floor zone.
Central control locations include fault monitoring, call logs, and zone mapping, ensuring building managers or responders stay in control throughout the event.
EVCS can integrate with fire alarms, PAVA, or evacuation alert systems providing a unified emergency communication infrastructure.
