One in seven (9 million) of the UK’s population experience some degree of hearing loss; many of these people are unable to hear fire alarms or public address announcements.
IFI Recognised Products status has acknowledged the unique and original design of the Deaf Alerter system and the benefits it provides to both Deaf people and leisure operators in reducing the time spent evacuating a facility.
In achieving this recognition, Deaf Alerter has met all of the specific IFI Recognised Products Specification criteria focusing on the inclusive aspects of a fire alert system for Deaf and hard of hearing people.
Liz, marketing director of Deaf Alerter comments,
“Deaf Alerter plc is very proud that our DA2000 fire alarm warning and messaging system is the first product to achieve IFI Recognised Product status; we consider life safety to be of the utmost priority.
By installing the DA2000 system, facilities seeking IFI Mark Accreditation will be taking extra precautions to ensure that vital evacuation procedures are at their best. Inclusive fitness also needs an inclusive environment.”
