Emergency Communications
Systems
(ECS)
What is ECS
and
Why Notifier?
Emergency Communication Systems
Any system that is organized for the primary
purpose of supporting one and two-way
communication of emergency messages
between both individuals and groups.

These systems are commonly designed to

integrate messaging across a variety of
technologies, forming a unified system
intended to optimize communications during
emergencies.
ECS Becoming a Code Driven Requirement
• NFPA 72, 2010 & 2013 Editions,
Chapter 24 – Emergency
Communications Systems
• UL2572, Mass Notification Systems
• United Facilities Criteria (UFC)
• IBC (2012) Educational (Group E) -
schools and day care centers up to the
12th grade…
IBC Group E – K-12 & Day Care

“907.2.3 Group E. A manual fire alarm system that

initiates the occupant notification signal utilizing an
emergency voice / alarm communication system
meeting the requirements of Section 907.5.2.2 and
installed in accordance with Section 907.6 shall be
installed in Group E occupancies. When automatic
sprinkler systems or smoke detectors are installed,
such systems or detectors shall be connected to the
building fire alarm system.”
Addressing The Risk

 Many facilities are focusing on physical

security – “hardening” their buildings
• Access control
• Bulletproof glass
• Video surveillance
• Security guards

 This is good – but it is not enough

communicate before, during and after
emergencies
• ECS from NOTIFIER provides the same level
of integrity, survivability and supervision our
customers have come to expect from their fire
alarm system

MAJOR MEDICAL EMERGENCIES

If it is not practical to move the ill or injured individual, call the UNH University
Police and they will obtain an ambulance and escort it to the location of the
emergency.
DO NOT PLACE A 911 CALL - THE UNH UNIVERSITY POLICE WILL DO THIS.
For job sustained injury/illness, all patients should be taken to Yale – New Haven
Hospital's Emergency Room, (203-342-XXXX) or their own hospital of choice.
Hospital personnel should be told it is an on-the-job injury for UNH University, if
applicable. Proof of UNH employment, such as a campus ID card, will be required.
A First Report of Injury Form must also be filed with the Director of Risk
Management, VP for Administration (MS-670).
When the injury or illness involves a chemical, a Material Safety Data Sheet
(MSDS) should accompany the victim to the hospital.
The procedure outlined above applies to all individuals receiving pay from UNH
University who are injured or become ill while performing an activity that directly
benefits UNH University. If transportation is unavailable within the injured's
department, a request may be made to the Campus Police to provide such.
