SAFETY MESSAGE TO OPERATORS AND
INSTALLERS OF SOUNDOFF SIGNAL
SIREN/SPEAKER SYSTEMS.
Signaling Limitations:
Sirens/speakers provide an essential function of an effective
audio-visual warning system. However, sirens are only short
range secondary devices. The use of a siren/speaker system
does not insure that all drivers can or will abide by or react to
an emergency warning signal, especially at high rates of
speeds or long distances. The operator of the vehicle must
never take the right of way for granted and it is the operator’s
responsibility to proceed safely.
The effectiveness of the siren/speaker system is highly
dependant on the correct mounting and wiring. The installer
must read and follow manufacturer’s installation instructions
and warnings in the manual. The vehicle operator should verify
the siren/speaker system is securely fastened to the vehicle
and properly functioning.
Maximum sound output will be severely reduced if any objects
are in front of the speaker. If your installation has obstructions
in front of the speaker, drive even more cautiously.
Sound Hazards:
Effective siren/speaker systems generate loud sound pressure
levels (120db) that can potentially cause permanent hearing
damage. Installers and those around the vehicle need to be
aware of the dangers and wear hearing protection whenever
the siren system is operating.
Vehicle operators and occupants should asses their exposure
to siren noise and determine what steps need to be taken to
prevent hearing damage. For hearing conservations guidance,
refer to federal, state, or local recommendations. OSHA
Standard 1910.95 offers guidance on Permissible Noise
