Personal duress alarms provide peace of mind
Duress alarms can be used to call for assistance in an emergency situation at home, in the workplace, in remote locations or anywhere a rapid response is required.
Also known as panic buttons, using a duress alarm will get an immediate response and alert emergency services, giving employers, employees and family members peace of mind that there is always an added layer of safety, protection and support available.

Duress alarm features and benefits
For people who live or work alone, are based in remote locations, or have any sort of safety concerns in the workplace, duress alarms are an invaluable tool for reducing risk, protecting workers and enhancing confidence and well-being.
Our personal duress alarms can feature SOS buttons, automatic fall detections and GPS tracking, and can be worn as pendants or watches, or carried as key fobs to ensure that assistance is always within reach at the press of a button.
Once alerted, our monitoring service will respond immediately, and a member of the team will assess the threat and risk posed by the situation, and then contact emergency services or a designated responder as required.
Who can benefit from a duress alarm system
There are a range of scenarios and settings in which both workers and vulnerable individuals can benefit from having easy access to a duress alarm system.
Lone workers, such as real estate agents, anyone working in an isolated environment, or people who work night shifts, will benefit from the extra level of protection provided by a duress alarm.
Likewise healthcare workers in hospitals, nursing homes and other environments where there is a risk of incidents escalating with volatile or aggressive patients.
Duress alarms also give older, vulnerable people, or anyone with a medical condition, the capacity to call for help and get an immediate response if they fall or face a medical emergency. GPS tracking shares the user’s location so even if incapacitated, emergency services are aware of where they should attend.
Employers can also ensure workplace compliance with health and safety regulations by providing workers with duress alarm technology that enhances their safety; enhanced workplace protection also contributes to an overall sense of employee security, well-being and productivity.
