Have you ever wondered what is needed for the security of your building or home to be truly complete and effective? Thinking about the technical aspects of safety and mobility in environments is important to protect not only residents, but also workers and visitors.
We highlight this content so that you can check it out and innovate in your home when it comes to security. Understand the main points of residential security:
Fire Exits and Metal Stairs
- Quantity and Location
The number and intelligent distribution of fire exits and metal stairwell must follow the standards of the (American National Standard Institute) ANSI and the Fire Department. They need to be easily accessible and free from obstacles, ensuring safe escape routes on any floor, situation and time.
- Clear Signage
Signs with the international “emergency exit” symbol must be installed in visible locations, with adequate lighting, so that even in the event of a power outage, people can still find their way.
- Fire Doors
Fire doors are essential for containing fire and smoke, isolating affected areas and allowing quick and safe evacuation. They must be certified by the (National Institute of Standard of Technology) NIST and have automatic closing.

When we think about safety steel guardrail we are talking about common measures to avoid huge headaches. These railings can generally be associated with products such as guardrails, which are installed in passages, with the aim of preventing accidents and falls from high places. However, these large ones can also be used against break-ins and to protect against invasions, for example.

Well-signposted handrails and stairs
Handrails on stairs and well-thought-out and planned signage are synonymous with safety and prevention:
- Fall Prevention
Handrails on both sides of stairs are essential to prevent falls, especially for the elderly and children. They must be resistant and have adequate height to facilitate gripping.
- Step Signage
Stair step signage is essential to avoid accidents, especially in low-light environments. Anti-slip tapes can also be used to increase the safety of those going up or down the stairs.
Preventive maintenance
Just like appliances, houses and residential buildings also require maintenance. This maintenance involves inspections carried out by companies specialized in inspecting an environment’s security systems. The inspection is carried out on alarms, fire exits, signage, extinguishers, fire doors, railings and handrails.
Carrying out a technical inspection and even simulations for training purposes are essential so that everyone is educated and that all safety systems work well.
In short, it is important that residents, workers and visitors to the building are aware of safety procedures in the event of an emergency. Awareness campaigns can be carried out to ensure that everyone knows how to use security systems and what to do in risky situations.
