Ensuring the safety of employees is a number one priority for any business. By using Personal Duress systems, staff are able to signal for help at the touch of a button maximising their personal safety.
Duress and Hold Up systems make up an integral part of your security system, offering protection and confidence to employees and the organisation.
Small enough to fit on a key ring, these wireless units transmit the location and identity of the user, allowing you to respond immediately and effectively to any safety threat.
Panic buttons are available in a variety of shapes, sizes and technologies. They may have a single panic button, double button or even three or four buttons. A double button is usually employed in hold up applications such as a convenience store to avoid false alarms from accidental bumping of the pendant (and is also a present requirement in NSW for any duress signal being reported back to base).
Pressing both buttons is required to activate the alarm. A multiple button pendant can be used to signal varying levels of need. A manager or front-end controller might use a multiple pendant to signal that a situation requires external assistance and that security personnel should be placed "stand by" or to signal that security personnel should immediately respond.
Panic buttons for duress alarm systems can be worn as a belt clip, with a neck lanyard or with a wrist band. The belt clip us normally used for employee
and staff duress alarm systems. A neck lanyard or wrist
band is often used for the elderly and for medical alert.
