Research on sleep and fire notification signals

Just received this email from Dorothy Bruck from the School of Psychology at Victoria University. I thought I would share the information about new research Dorothy and her team have completed on sleep and fire notification signals for people who are hard of hearing or affected by alcohol.

Hi,

Found your business card in my files and thought you may be interested to know that our latest reports on the waking effectiveness of different signals (auditory, visual and tactile) for those with hearing loss, and also people who are impaired with alcohol, are now on the NFPA website.

Reports available as follows;

• hardofhearing&alarms.pdf
• alcohol&alarmsreport.pdf

Hope these are of interest.

With best wishes,

Dot
