Evacuation
It’s mandatory to carry out a detailed assessment identifying the risks and hazards in a commercial premises. By law, if you are responsible for the premises, you need to make sure that a Fire Risk/evacuation Assessment has been completed by a competent person.
The Civil Defence role in fire evacuation is to ensure that the means of escape in case of fire for all people who may be in a building is both adequate and reasonable.
It is your responsibility to provide a fire safety risk assessment that includes an emergency evacuation plan for all people likely to be in the premises including People of Determination.
Such an evacuation plan should not rely upon the intervention of the Civil Defence to make it work.
We can supply a range of evacuation chairs (manual and powered) and specialised training in how to correctly use your current or new equipment.

We can arrange bespoke braille signage
Braille Signs require careful design; we are experts at ensuring your facilities comply with the Dubai Universal Design code.
Our partners can create the Braille signs in several styles.
Using a combination of stock signs and specials, we can reduce cost for small or large scale tactile & braille sign projects.
Bespoke signage and wayfinding
Signs can be made up in Arabic and English. Expert guidance is important since braille is not a universal language. There is a braille language for many of the languages spoken today.
While the move toward braille uniformity, known as Unified English Braille (UEB), has led to many correspondences between the alphabets, the languages themselves are still distinct and unique.
