Jason Godwin is a Regional Sales Manager at 2N with responsibility for lift communication products across the UK, ANZ and North American markets.
He started work in the UK lift industry under his father, Mike Godwin before moving to Australia where he worked for Kone and Boral Lifts (OTIS) rising to senior management level on new lift sales and modernisations. He then returned to Europe settling in Prague and, in the absence of lift industry opportunities there, decided to focus on telecommunications while also assisting his brother Adrian Godwin at lift consultants Lerch Bates Europe from time to time.
Jason holds an MBA from RMIT University in Melbourne, Australia.
The (imminent) arrival of EN81:76 as a published and applicable new lift standard and the need for implementation of evacuation communications to new and/or modernised lifts is a new challenge for lift companies and extends their responsibilities beyond lift operation.
In this paper and symposium presentation the topic of evacuation communications will be explored in terms of available communication technology, options and considerations with the goal of providing some foundation for the selection and application of effective solutions.
