The GEO-GL firefighters phone AKA “break glass”, is not just for fires.
Most large buildings operate a security office 24/7. Anytime you pick up a firefighters phone, the staff knows exactly where you are in the building and come to your location for assistance.
Our experience providing mission-critical communication systems includes the iconic Skydome (now the Rogers Centre), where we implemented a highly flexible and robust solution.
This means that if any emergency takes place—be it a medical incident like a heart attack, a serious physical injury from a trip and fall, or even a security threat like a robbery—the subsequent rescue or response operation is streamlined and immediate. The procedure is remarkably simple: an individual breaks the protective glass covering, accessing the secure fire phone handset beneath. This action instantly establishes a dedicated, high-priority communication link to the main control or security centre, eliminating delays associated with standard mobile or internal phone systems. This rapid, dedicated channel is essential for mobilizing the correct response team swiftly and effectively.
The quality of the signage is guaranteed for the long term. All overlying protective glass is printed using state-of-the-art UV ink technology. This results in an incredibly permanent and durable finish that is highly resistant to scratching, cleaning solvents, and environmental factors. Rest assured, the crucial warning and instructional text will never fade, maintaining its visibility and compliance standards for the entire lifespan of the installation.
