The latest in employee safety, duress alarms, and lone worker security.
The same thing happens with our school security alarm systems. Every day, we see them in the offices and hallways, without ever really paying attention to them. Then, when those security systems are actually needed, nobody readily remembers exactly where they are or how to use them.

It's a crazy world. We depend so much on things like cell service and wired systems, that when we are without them, we're lost. Every week there's a new headline on the news about some horror or tragedy that a business has to face -- bomb threats, medical emergencies no one was prepared for, women unexpectedly giving birth within minutes, workers getting trapped in odd situations. All of these and more can happen anywhere on any given workday, which is why wireless panic alarms are so vital for today's businesses. Here's what you need to know about these systems.

Schools should be the safest places on the planet. Yet, during a one-month period, almost 6 percent of high school students stayed at home due to feeling unsafe either at school or during the commute to school. Principals and administrators have bullies, out of control parents, angry teens acting out, and other potential threats in the backs of their minds almost constantly. How can you keep your faculty, staff, and students blissfully safe in this age of worry and uncertainty?

Warehouse work has always revolved around improving efficiencies, eliminating waste, and making the environment safer for workers. But today's 'smart warehouses' take these goals to an entirely new level. Gone are the lengthy printouts with customer orders -- hand-picked and recorded on sheets -- usually introducing errors into the process. All those errors add up. In the age of the 'Amazon effect', where customers are spoiled by super-accurate, always on-time, served-with-a-smile deliveries, every warehouse is forced to step up their game or be left behind in the dust. Enter: the Internet of Things (IoT).

Schools today have a lot of options when it comes to security. Some choose a duress alarm system,while others opt for onsite security guards or depend on their phone system in the event of emergency. When it comes to facing the wide range of threats that today's schools are subject to, duress alarms clearly stand on top. These systems are quite a bit more affordable than paying for onsite security personnel, and are much more reliable than phone systems (even cellular ones). How can you choose the perfect alarm system for your school?

Whether you run a hospital or a school, a detainment facility or a manufacturing facility,security is forefront on your mind these days. Random acts of violence, an uptick in the number of people suffering from scary medical issues, and growing concerns over legal liabilities all point to the need for more stringent security measures. When looking at the systems available, cost is a major factor, followed by reliability, usability, and convenience. Will a worker be able to depend on the system when someone is critically injured? Can it be disabled if someone decides to attack our facilities? Will it be easy enough to operate that workers can use it years after their training, even when panicking?
