BCMR Fire & Security provides Disabled Assistance Alarm systems designed to support accessibility, dignity, and safety for disabled users within public, commercial, and residential buildings. These systems allow individuals to discreetly summon assistance in emergency situations, ensuring compliance with accessibility legislation and best‑practice standards.
We design, install, and maintain Disabled Assistance Alarms as part of a fully managed service, tailored to the needs of each building and its occupants.

The Importance of Disabled Assistance Alarms
Disabled Assistance Alarms play a vital role in ensuring equal access and safety for people with disabilities. They are most commonly installed in:

Accessible WC facilities
Changing places facilities
Assisted living environments
Healthcare and education settings
Public buildings and workplaces

In the event of a fall, illness, or emergency, the system allows the user to raise an alert quickly and discreetly, ensuring help can be provided without delay.

Standards‑Compliant Design & Installation
All Disabled Assistance Alarm systems installed by BCMR Fire & Security are designed and installed in accordance with recognised standards and statutory guidance, including:

BS 8300 – Design of buildings to meet the needs of disabled people
Equality Act 2010 – Accessibility and reasonable adjustment requirements
Building Regulations Approved Document M – Access to and use of buildings

Our systems are designed to meet both legal obligations and best‑practice accessibility guidance.

How Disabled Assistance Alarms Work
A typical Disabled Assistance Alarm system includes:

Pull‑cord or emergency call unit within the accessible area
Visual and audible indicators outside the room to identify alarms
Remote alert panels located at staffed or monitored positions
Reset controls accessible only to authorised personnel

When activated, the system provides a clear indication that assistance is required, allowing staff to respond quickly and appropriately.

Audible & Visual Alerting
Disabled Assistance Alarms installed by BCMR Fire & Security provide both audible and visual alerts, ensuring:

Alarms can be heard by staff even in noisy environments
Visual indicators assist users with hearing impairments
Clear identification of the activated location

This multi‑layered alerting approach ensures no call for assistance goes unnoticed.

Where required, Disabled Assistance Alarms can be integrated with other life‑safety and security systems, including:

Nurse call or care systems in healthcare environments
Reception or facilities management panels
Building management systems (BMS)
