Panic Buttons
Assistance from Police or Security Services, and within the workplace.
Hard-wired Panic-Buttons can be fitted to reception plus areas where cash and valuables are being handled by your staff. These buttons are cabled back to the Control Panel location and patched into an available 24hour silent sector to initiate a Security and or Police Services response.
Inter-Office Assist Button
Assistance from Colleagues
When pressed, the inter-office assist system provides a discreet method of alerting others within the office itself that a colleague requires some form of intervention. The button is discreetly pressed, then a low-tone will sound plus an alarm window will appear on other selected computers within the workplace. This means that everyone who is near a selected computer can be alerted within seconds that a colleague requires support and intervention from others can commence.
Wireless Duress Pendant
Assistance from Police or Security Services, and within the workplace
This duress pendant option is for when staff are working alone in the office, are customer facing and are in fear of their welfare. They firmly believe that without intervention the situation will escalate and require the assistance from Security and or Police Service.
With the availability of a hand held, dual button, wireless pendant staff member can have this device under their clothing or in their pocket and if needed will discretely press both buttons at the same time. This action will send a silent signal back to the existing AlarmControl panel and a Duress Signal will be received by the Control Room. There are NO additional monitoring fees for this option, however the panel will require a wireless receiver be fitted.
The "Code Grey" response initiated by the security Control Room operator is initially dictated by management and could be to call reception, an off-duty staff member etc., or for an efficient independent response then a Police or Security Officer can be dispatched to attend the "Code Grey" incident. The initial actions on arrival by the officer should be non-confrontational and an assessment will be made as to how best to provide assistance to ensure your staff member is safe.
