Entrapment Alarms

For businesses utilising cold rooms, protecting your team is as important as protecting your stock.

With personnel moving in and out of walk-in chillers and freezer cold rooms daily, safeguards ned to be in place in case someone becomes trapped inside – a major health and safety risk.

The answer is entrapment alarms and alarm button accessories, suitable for any cold room setup.

What is a Cold Room Alarm?

Entrapment, or cold room alarms, are installed in industrial and modular cold rooms so that, if an employee becomes trapped inside, there’s a clear alarm system to alert others nearby – allowing them to be rescued as soon as possible.

The alarm is triggered when the trapped staff member either pulls the alarm cable or presses the button, depending on the system. This alert then activates a flashing light outside the room and an alarm siren, so businesses have visual and auditory alarms they can rely on.

Entrapment Alarm Features

Our entrapment alarm features make them easy to use, give peace of mind, and include:

Operation down to -40ºC, making it suitable for chiller and freezer cold rooms
A permanent location light
A powerful external red flashing alarm siren
A reassurance light inside the cold room to signify the alarm has been raised
Easy and quick alarm resets

FAQs

Do all cold rooms need an entrapment alarm?

In most cold room set-ups, cold room alarms are considered a health and safety safeguard, so most utilise them – particularly where staff enter chiller or freezer rooms regularly.

If you're unsure whether your site needs one, or which type is appropriate, our team can advise if you get in touch.

What's the difference between push button and pull cord entrapment alarms?

Push-button and pull-cord entrapment alarms both operate in the same way once triggered, alerting others via a flashing light and siren outside the cold room. The difference is simply how the alarm is activated from inside, either by pressing a button or pulling a cord.

The right choice usually comes down to what suits your cold room layout and team preference.

Can entrapment alarms be used in freezer rooms?

UK Cold Room Spares entrapment alarm range operates down to -40°C, making it suitable for both chiller and freezer cold room environments.

This is required because long-term exposure to minus temperatures is especially dangerous.
