Ramtech WES3 Wireless Evacuation and Nurse Call System

The Ramtech WES3 Wireless Evacuation and Nurse Call System has launched in Australia.

The emergency system is designed to promote worker safety on construction sites. According to the company, during a simulated emergency drill, WES3 quickly and effectively evacuated 65 people from a four-storey, commercial property under construction in just four minutes.

The system comprises manual fire and medical alarm call points that are installed onsite in accordance with the project’s fire plan. These call points are designed so that the system is interlinked, meaning that all areas receive the same audible and visual alert signal, even if the fire is contained to just one of them. Greater protection is provided due to the system working on a mesh protocol, enabling WES3 to overcome common signal obstacles such as steel structures.

Additionally, Ramtech’s cloud-based platform, REACT, provides accurate, real-time and customised alerts and notifications of incidents and alarm activations. Relevant personnel can be notified immediately via a mobile app, text message or email on their mobile device from any location — whether onsite or not. REACT can also provide relevant documentation such as a site fire plan and further instructions.
