We
were recently invited to visit a manufacturing facility in Georgia for the
purpose of satisfying OSHA requirements for mass notification in the event of
an emergency (Click here for an overview of the requirements). A cursory
review indicated that lack of OSHA compliance could be SERIOUS with fines
ranging between $7,000 and $70,000 per violation.
The
number of employees ranged from around 250 to 500 with an average of about 350.
The cost of installing a plant wide PA system was close to $200,000. We
could have done it for half the cost using wireless technology but the
prospective customer wanted a free on-site engineering survey with no assurance
that our proposal would be accepted. We walked away from the
"opportunity". Since that time, we have learned there is another way to help both large
and small employers to provide an efficient and affordable mass notification
system that can be tested in a matter of minutes with no charge for the survey.
Whether you have a single employee or a thousand, we've got your solution
at a fraction of the cost of a wired, or even a wireless PA system. For
additional information, give us a call at 800.489.2611 or email ServingU@falcondirect.com.
