Fire presents a high risk situation to deaf and hard of hearing people, especially when they stay in hotels, guest houses, care homes and other residential buildings. Under the mandatory terms of the Disability Discrimination Act (DDA), effective since 1st October 2004, all owners of commercial and public buildings are required to make adequate provisions for the needs of the deaf and hard of hearing people.

Deafgard delivers effective solution! Deafgard is the latest advance in the development of wireless technology. Deafguard offers safe and portable answer to communicating the sounding of an alarm to all guests and residents that are deaf or hard of hearing.
