Welcome to SOS Waypoint Limited – suppliers of innovative building evacuation systems, designed to help people, regardless of their visual ability, find their way to the nearest fire exit in the event of an emergency.

Illuminated wall wayguidance systems feature innovative tactile indicators that provide directional information to help visually impaired and blind people find the location of the nearest fire exit, allowing them to take more control of their personal safety in the event of an emergency.

The wall system, which complies with the Disability Discrimination Act because of its tactile features, is designed to go on walls at waist height so that children, wheel-chair users and adults can reach it - a must for escape route marking.

The tactile indicators are extremely easy to understand and use and have been hailed as an innovation by the visually impaired. Under the Disability Discrimination Act, which takes effect in 2004, there is a requirement to adjust policies, practices and procedures so as not to discriminate against disabled people. It further reinforces the responsibility of Building Managers to ensure that their evacuation procedure take account of the needs of disabled people. Use of a Waypoint wall system may help to address this important issue.

Floor systems incorporate sequenced lighting to give directional information – ideal for transport vehicles and corridors. Systems include smoke detection and/or opto detection to trigger the system.

All systems have a source of illumination: electroluminescent, photoluminescent, tritium gas or light emitting diodes.

The AdRail allows you to provide a safety feature whilst at the same time generating a revenue stream.

The tactile door plate enables visually impaired people to identify fire exit doors in addition to communicating the direction of the escape route before passing through the door.
