Why are disabled toilet alarm system important?

A disabled toilet alarm system is required in all disabled toilets. Disabled toilet alarms are for emergencies, such as when a disabled person has slipped and fallen and needs help to get to their feet. The alarm is connected to an outside source (often to the building’s reception area, or to the security team). A person in need of help can pull on the long red cord and know that someone is on their way to assist them. This helps to keep the toilet safe and usable.
