How to Respond Safely
During a Lockdown Situation
What is an Alarm
Lockdown System?
Every educational institution must create a detailed lockdown procedure to follow in the event of a security threat.
Additionally, an effective alarm system should be in place to quickly alert staff and students when it is necessary to implement the lockdown procedure.
This dedicated alarm system plays a crucial role in lockdown situations by distinguishing itself from alarms related to other emergencies, such as fire alarms. To ensure quick and efficient activation of the lockdown protocol, lockdown alarm call points are strategically placed throughout the school premises. These call points are located in key areas inside and outside the buildings, as well as at entrances and exits outside. They should be easily accessible and clearly marked to facilitate an immediate response during an emergency.
Regular training and drills should be conducted to familiarise students and staff with the lockdown procedure and alarm system, reinforcing the importance of a swift and coordinated response to enhance safety and security within the school environment.
Be ready for any emergency with a system specifically designed to protect both staff and students when it matters most.
The ASYRA Lockdown Alarm offers quick and reliable activation, clear alerts, and seamless integration throughout your facility, ensuring that everyone knows exactly how to respond during a lockdown situation.
