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
First-aiders are quickly alerted to the location of an injured person anywhere in the facility.
The system conforms to the strict Tesco first-aid guidelines, with unlimited extendibility to tailor functionality to specific needs and combining total convenience with guaranteed round-the-clock coverage.
The system is used in the distribution warehouse, their vehicle management unit and plant rooms.
"The system is a great success," said Alan Shambrook, the distribution centre Technical Support Manager.
The SBES system is based on a control panel and interacting products.
The highly visible 'Help Points' are easily activated by anyone in trouble and can cover multiple zones in buildings.
As well as the emergency pull cords, the system includes wall-mounted pushbutton and break-glass versions.
Lone Worker wire-free alarm transmitters are worn in belt-clip form and are activated either manually by the person with a problem or send an automatic signal in the event of incapacitation, as triggered by a tilt sensor.
In the fully integrated system, alarm activation instantly sends a visual and audible signal of the incident location to the control panel and simultaneously pages first-aiders with the information.
The system is capable of sending SMS text messages to mobile phones and activate networked PC alert message, as an optional extra.
There is no limit to the number of Help Points and Lone Workers and the system allows for programming an unlimited number of zones.
A rechargeable battery back-up keeps the system fully operational for a minimum of 8 hours in the event of a power failure.
