Panic Bars, Importance in Commercial Property
Panic bars – you have probably heard of them, although perhaps you know panic bars by a different name. You might have heard them called a push bar, exit bar, emergency bar, panic device, crash bar or even a crash device. Regardless of the name, the purpose remains unchanged. This is a security feature that was created to give you additional protection in an emergency. And let’s face it – we can never know when an emergency might happen.
Do you have a panic bar at your commercial property so that if there is an emergency at your property, people can get out fast? If you own a business, you have a responsibility to keep those coming into your property safe. The fact that you are demonstrating an interest in crash bars shows that you are a responsible property owner, so kudos to you! We will discuss the benefits of having a panic bar, and their importance in commercial properties.
First, the basics: a panic bar will be placed on a fire exit door. Its goal? To prevent trampling from occurring if a crowd were to need to get out of your property fast.
