Endangered Worker Protection
by Team Security Systems Ltd

The safety of employees in the workplace is one of the primary concerns of any employer, particularly if the staff member is working alone or in a potentially dangerous situation. Employers have a duty of care to provide adequate safety measures for their staff in all circumstances, and must assess the potential risks of any working situation. Team Security Systems Ltd are suppliers of an Endangered Worker Protection device that enables users to summon assistance and have their location tracked in an emergency, and record cases of verbal abuse or escalating aggression.

The device is based on an ID card holder, and can be worn on a clip or hung around the neck on a lanyard. On the back of the card holder is a RED ALERT panic button. Holding this down for two seconds will immediately open a communication link with our monitoring centre, from where a suitable response will be organised. Our operatives will locate the device wearer using the built-in Global Positioning equipment and dispatch the correct emergency service to that location. There is no audible alarm on the device, therefore no risk of aggravating an aggressor in a conflict situation.

The second aspect of the device is the AMBER ALERT button, which is used when the device wearer is entering into a potentially dangerous situation. Activation of the button starts a timer at the monitoring centre, where the wearer can also leave a recording of their location or details of the situation that they are about to enter. If there is no cancellation of the activation within the agreed timescale the alarm is upgraded to RED ALERT and the appropriate action taken.
