We specialize in ensuring that facilities are designed for safe and efficient movement—both in day-to-day operations and during emergencies. Our Access, Egress & Guarding consultancy addresses essential safety requirements for occupant movement, hazard prevention, and security, helping clients build environments that are compliant, accessible, and secure.
Our Core Services Include:
1. Egress Route Design and Analysis
We evaluate and design escape routes that are compliant with international building codes and life safety standards. This includes assessing exit numbers, locations, widths, and capacities, as well as travel distances, corridor layouts, and stairwell arrangements. Our expertise builds upon our robust Life Safety System Design knowledge to ensure efficient and safe evacuation during emergencies.
2. Access Control and Security Planning
Our team develops strategies to balance access control with emergency egress, ensuring critical areas remain secure without compromising occupant safety. This includes designing controlled access systems that release automatically in emergencies for safe evacuation.
3. Machinery and Hazard Guarding
We identify and assess hazards associated with industrial machinery and high-risk equipment, specifying appropriate physical guards, safety barriers, and protective enclosures to prevent accidental contact and enhance worker safety.
4. Signage and Wayfinding
Effective movement relies on clear guidance. We plan and implement intuitive safety signage and wayfinding systems that assist occupants and visitors in navigating the facility with ease, especially under emergency conditions or low-visibility environments.
5. Inclusive Accessibility Design
We ensure that access and egress provisions accommodate all individuals, including those with disabilities, adhering to international accessibility standards and local regulations to support safe and equitable movement throughout the facility.
By addressing access, egress, and guarding in a comprehensive manner, Advanced Safety Solutions helps clients create safer, more functional environments that protect lives, support emergency readiness, and comply with global best practices in safety design.
