Maintenance and Upkeep of Lone Worker Panic Buttons

Lone workers are at risk of becoming the victims of crime, assault and a range of medical emergencies when out on their own. As a result, they need to have a simple way to signal for help without having to unlock their phone, find the app and press it in high stress situations.

Panic buttons provide a discreet means for lone workers to request immediate assistance and have their location reported to a monitoring centre – especially important in cases where alerting others openly may put them at greater risk. Discreet activation also prevents employees from escalating situations that are already stressful for them.
