How Emergency Tech Saves Lives in Warehouses & Distribution Centers

Warehouses and distribution centers are noisy, busy places, which can make it difficult to communicate in the event of an emergency. These spaces have plenty of safety measures in place including sprinkler systems, mass notification systems and intercom systems. These all are useful tools to protect workers on the warehouse floor, and when integrated, they create a complete safety net that can save lives.

Integration Builds Trust

Fully integrated critical communications systems save crucial moments when an emergency arises. With sensors that trigger immediately, there is no lag time between an incident occurring and when the emergency intercom is engaged. This maximizes the amount of time workers have to engage in safety protocols and evacuate. These precious seconds can be the difference between leaving safely or injury and possibly even death. Your system must be in operation throughout your entire campus. A blind spot could mean that members of your team are unaware that an incident has occurred, creating an even more dangerous situation.

Clarity Promotes Safety

Clear communication is necessary to protect workers and help them remain calm in the event of an emergency. Intercom systems must provide crystal-clear communication to help guide workers through the steps they must follow to get through the incident unharmed. One slight miscommunication can be the difference between safety and grave injury. A well-maintained intercom system will prove to be an indispensable tool in the event of an emergency. 

Connectivity Aids First Responders

Not only do intercoms help workers communicate with one another in emergencies, they also can assist first responders once they arrive on scene. By using the system, they can coordinate their response as well as communicate directly with personnel who may be trapped or injured. Not only does this restore calm in a chaotic situation but it cuts down response time, increasing the likelihood that workers will be rescued with minor to no injuries.
