Compliance Information

ADA Title II & III require commercial facilities to ensure equal access and effective communication for individuals with disabilities. This includes providing both audible and visual emergency alerts and maintaining accessible building routes. Visiplex audio-visual paging solutions help warehouses, commercial facilities, campuses, and schools achieve full ADA compliance.

The Occupational Health and Safety Administration (OSHA) 1910.165 requires employers that use an alarm system to provide warning for necessary emergency action as called in the emergency action plan or reaction time for the safe escape of employees from the workplace, the immediate work area, or both. The Visiplex AlertWave system is compliant with OSHA 1910.165.

The Department of Defense (DoD) established UFC 4-021-01 to mandate that mass notification systems deliver real-time emergency information to all building occupants and nearby personnel. This standard supports compliance with UFC 4-010-01, the DoD Minimum Antiterrorism Standards for Buildings. The Visiplex Wireless Emergency Notification System meets all UFC 4-021-01 requirements for mass notification.

A Mass Notification System, according to Annex E of the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) 72, provides information and instructions to people in a building, area, site, or other space using intelligible voice communications methods and possibly including visible signals, text, graphics, tactile or other communication methods. The Visiplex AlertWave system complies with the requirements listed in Annex E, which covers the application, installation, location, performance, and maintenance of a Mass Notification System.
