Panic alarm systems, personal alarms and lone worker alarms can provide peace of mind to elderly relatives or vulnerable members of staff. They can be especially useful in schools and healthcare organisations where the threat of personal attack is rising.
How do panic buttons and personal alarms work?
Panic buttons can be hard-wired or wireless, fitted in a fixed location (such as under a desk or adjacent to a door) or carried about the person. They can be silent or emit an audible alarm.
A panic button can relay an signal to an alarm panel and can be monitored for keyholder response. If police response is required, the panic button must use a 'double push' action to be activated. Single push devices are suitable for loan worker alarms or to summon help for elderly or vulnerable people.
