Public Address and Voice Alarm (PAVA) systems are employed at large premises wherever information needs to be delivered through public spoken messages. The content of these message varies depending on the type of premises and can include everything from daily public address notices to fire evacuation instructions.
While fire detection alerts such as warning alarms can tell everyone that there is a fire and they should evacuate, communication systems like PAVAs can allow you to give calm and clear instructions, helping people to evacuate quickly, safely, and with minimal panic. They also offer the flexibility to tailor your instructions to suit the emergency.
PAVA systems are commonly suited for larger premises frequented by members of the public – this includes shopping malls, leisure centres, hospitals, and entertainment venues. In these premises, they can serve as an effective fire safety tool – helping to manage the flow of evacuees when it matters most.
