SAFETY NOTICES
People’s lives depend on your selection of suitable equipment and installation sites and your
safe installation, service, and operation of our products. Federal Signal recommends the following
publications from the Federal Emergency Management Agency for assistance with planning an
outdoor warning system: 1. The “Outdoor Warning Guide” (CPG 1-17), 2. “Civil Preparedness,
Pr
inciples of Warning” (CPG 1-14), 3. FEMA-REP-1, Appendix 3 (Nuclear Plant Guideline), and
4. FEMA-REP-
10 (Nuclear Plant Guideline). Contact Federal Warning System’s Customer Care
Center at:
http://www.federalwarningsystems.com
or
1-800-524-3021 for further information
about these publications.
It is important to read, understand and follow all instructions shipped with this product. In addition,
listed below are some other important safety instructions and precautions you should follow.
PLANNING
If suitable warning equipment is not selected, the installation site for the siren is not selected
properly or the siren is not installed properly, it may not produce the intended optimum audible
warning. Follow Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) recommendations.
If sirens are not activated in a timely manner when an emergency condition exists, they cannot
provide the intended audible warning. It is imperative that knowledgeable people, who are
provided with the necessary information, are available at all times to authorize the activation of
the sirens.
When sirens are used out of doors, people indoors may not be able to hear the warning
signals. Separate warning devices or procedures may be needed to effectively warn people
indoors.
The sound output of sirens is capable of causing permanent hearing damage. To prevent
excessive exposure, carefully plan siren placement, post warnings, and restrict access to
areas near sirens.
Activating the sirens may not result in people taking the desired actions if those to be warned
are not properly trained about the meaning of siren sounds. Siren users should follow FEMA
recommendations and instruct those to be warned of correct actions to be taken.
A siren
that doesn’t work won’t provide any warning. After installation, service, or
maintenance, test the siren system to confirm that it is operating properly. Test the system
regularly to confirm that it will be operational in an emergency.
If future service and operating personnel do not have these instructions to refer to, the siren
system may not provide the intended audible warning and service personnel may be exposed
to death, permanent hearing loss, or other bodily injury. File these instructions in a safe place
and refer to them periodically. Give a copy of these instructions to new recruits and trainees.
Also, give a copy to anyone who is going to service or repair the siren.
