October 19, 2022

Still trusting antiquated fire alarms to protect your people, machinery, and products? You may be putting your business in danger and exposing yourself to higher premiums.

Innovative risk managers are upgrading to Emergency Communication Systems designed to alert your employees of violence, accidents, severe weather along with fire. They deliver real-time mass notifications through modern means like text, phone calls, email, loudspeakers, and scrolling message boards.

An ECS can explain the safest path to exit a facility to avoid a fire or tell others to stay away until a threat is clear. And underwriters view them as particularly valuable.

Whether you are considering an upgrade or just exploring new risk management ideas, our whitepaper can help. Read it to learn:

  • Why relying on fire alarms alone is risky and dangerous
  • Reasons to upgrade
  • Specific risks identified by modern ECS systems
  • 7 steps to finding the right ECS system for your unique risks
