What is a Disabled Toilet Alarm System?

A Disabled Toilet Alarm System is a hardwired assistive call solution installed in accessible toilets to let a person signal for help using a pull cord or wall button. Safe-Life systems use simple cabling, long cable runs up to 400 metres and clear visual and audible alerts. They are designed for durable performance in high-use environments and can connect to broader nurse call infrastructure where required.

How do these systems work?

1. The user activates the alarm by pulling a cord or pressing a call button on the Toilet Alarm call point.
2. The call point sends power to the overdoor light and buzzer.
3. The overdoor light flashes and the buzzer sounds until staff respond.
4. Staff cancel the alarm at the call point using the built-in cancel button.
5. Optional higher-level Assist alerts can be triggered by pressing Call and Cancel together, increasing the flash and buzzer cadence.

Who are these systems for?

• Schools upgrading accessible toilet safety
• Healthcare and medical clinics
• Aged care facilities
• Community centres and public buildings
• Workplaces with accessible bathrooms

Frequently asked questions about Disabled Toilet Alarm Systems

What is required in an accessible toilet alarm?

An accessible toilet alarm needs an activation point, such as a pull cord or wall button, and an overdoor visual and audible alert so staff can respond quickly.

Do these alarms meet disabled toilet emergency expectations?

Yes. They provide clear signalling, dual activation options and continuous audible and visual alerts until cancelled on the call point.

Where should the pull cord be installed?

The pull cord should reach the floor so it can be activated by someone who has fallen or cannot stand.

Can the system be expanded?

Yes. Extra call points, overdoor lights, strobes and wireless options such as the Plug in UHF Transmitter – Toilet Alarm can be added as needed.

Do these alarms connect to nurse call systems?

They can. The built-in relay output allows integration with external nurse call systems and other alert equipment.
