Abstract:
When we design and specify emergency equipment installations, we sincerely hope they are never needed. However, the reality is they probably will be used, no matter how safety-conscious a company may be. So, we logically seek out the best products, place them in the most appropriate places, and diligently train employees to ensure the maximum safety net is provided. As we've shown, there are differences in products that make some better for specific applications than others. And, as always, budget plays an important part in the selection. In the end, specifying becomes a balancing act--balancing features and capabilities against cost. The best way to deal with a balancing act is to know all of the facts!
