Did you know voice alarm systems can reduce evacuation time by more than 50%?

Research from the British Standards Association (BSI), shows that those hearing a tone signal take more than six minutes to evacuate a building with which they are not familiar, while those hearing a recorded message will be out in around four minutes. Live announcements are even faster at less than two minutes.
