Due to lack of power during the initial stages of construction projects, some sites rely on air horns as an evacuation method on construction sites, but it’s not without drawbacks.
Sean Ryan, environmental health safety manager at Turner Construction, said background noises on a jobsite can drown out an air horn, and the horns do not pinpoint the location or origin of the fire. Additionally, air horns also provide only one solution: noise. They do not include smoke and heat sensors, nor a medical call feature.
