Public Address and Voice Alarm (PAVA) systems are utilised in large facilities where information needs to be conveyed through spoken messages to the public. The messages can range from general announcements to fire evacuation instructions, depending on the nature of the facility.
While fire alarms can alert individuals to a fire and the need to evacuate, PAVA systems enable clear and calm instructions to be communicated, facilitating a quick and safe evacuation process with minimal panic. These systems also allow for customisation of instructions to suit the specific emergency situation.
PAVA systems are particularly beneficial in larger public facilities such as shopping centres, hospitals, manufacturing facilities, large commercial buildings, and entertainment venues. They play a crucial role in managing the evacuation process during emergencies.
Understanding the complexity of installation, Chubb offers comprehensive PAVA communication solutions. Beyond just providing products, Chubb conducts site surveys, designs, installs, and monitors PAVA systems as part of a holistic fire safety package. Integrated solutions that work in harmony with other fire safety measures, such as detection, suppression, and evacuation systems, are key to Chubb’s approach.
