Lone Worker alarm protects Institute's staff
The SBES LifeSaver Lone Worker portable alarm system provided an ideal combination of versatile personnel safety, ease of use and economy for the National Institute of Biological Standards and Control
It combines total convenience with a fail-safe guarantee for staff and customer care 24 hours a day.
Standard SBES system components are easily installed wire-free 'Help Point' and 'Lone Worker' alarm transmitters with a control panel that can be located in any operational control area.
In the fully integrated system, activation of an alarm transmitter sends an instant signal to the control panel, with a visual and audible display indicating the incident location.
At the same time, the system automatically pages an unlimited number of people such as first-aiders and safety staff with the incident location, sends SMS alert text messages to mobile phones and activates networked PCs with alert messages.
The highly visible Help Points are easily activated by anyone in trouble and are available in wall-mounted break-glass or pushbutton versions, a ceiling-mounted pull-cord model and a splash-proof version.
Lone Worker alarm transmitters solve the Health and Safety dilemma of employing individuals working alone or out-of-hours in dangerous areas.
These are offered either as a pendant or a belt clip unit with the extra safety feature of the tilt switch.
This automatic alarm activation is of particular importance to those working in areas where there is a risk of falling, electric shock or toxic fumes.
There is no limit to the number of Help Points and Lone Workers in each named alarm zones, and the system allows for programming an unlimited number of named alarm zones.
A rechargeable battery back-up can keep the system fully operational for a minimum of 8 hours in the event of a power failure.
