Frequently asked questions

Who determines if our building needs an Area of Refuge system?
The requirement for an Area of Refuge system is typically determined by the local Authority Having Jurisdiction (AHJ)—which may include the fire marshal, building code official, or state/local inspectors. These authorities enforce building codes such as the International Building Code (IBC), NFPA 72, and the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). Factors influencing the requirement include building height, occupancy type, egress path limitations, and whether the building has elevators or areas where evacuation may be delayed. It’s important to consult the AHJ during the design or permitting phase to ensure compliance.
How do you estimate the cost of a project?
We estimate the cost on a case-by-case basis so there must be a consultation before an accurate estimation can be made.
Is the system hands-free or push-to-talk?
Yes, the system is hands-free after the initial push of a button. Once a user presses the call button in the Area of Refuge, two-way voice communication is automatically activated without the need to hold or press anything further. This design ensures ease of use during emergencies, especially for individuals with limited mobility or accessibility needs.
How often should the system be tested or inspected?
The Area of Refuge communication system should be tested at least once annually in accordance with NFPA 72 and local code requirements. Some jurisdictions may require more frequent inspections, especially in high-occupancy or critical-use buildings. Regular testing ensures that all components—call stations, control panels, audio clarity, battery backup, and indicator lights—are fully operational. It's also recommended to test the system after any building modifications, power interruptions, or life safety system updates. Always consult your local Authority Having Jurisdiction (AHJ) for exact inspection schedules.
Are visual indicators included for the hearing impaired?
Yes, most Area of Refuge communication systems include visual indicators, such as LED lights, to assist individuals who are hearing impaired. These indicators typically light up to show that a call has been initiated and may flash or change color once the call has been acknowledged by emergency personnel. This ensures that users receive clear, non-verbal confirmation that help is on the way, supporting compliance with ADA and accessibility requirements.
