Sadly, workplace violence is becoming commonplace. It wasn’t until the 1980s that the FBI even began tracking workplace violence. This was because, up until that point in time, workplace violence was more crime based, such as muggings, assaults, stalkings, threats, or harassments. Many of these victims did not report these crimes. However, when a rash of post office shootings took place in the 1980s, America took note.
Today, a study released by the Department of Labor concluded that 50% of businesses with 1,000 employees or more had experienced an incident of workplace violence. It has become vital that employers take steps to protect their employees, from implementing key locked doors to investing in wireless emergency call systems and wearable panic buttons.

DEVICES THAT HELP KEEP STAFF SAFE AT WORK
Wearable Panic Buttons
Wearable panic buttons are small devices issued to employees that can be discreetly pushed to alert security to their precise location where an emergency is taking place. All it takes is one click of the button, and a wireless signal is sent. Not only is the exact location known immediately, but the button will be tracked should the employee be forced to move. In addition, instant emergency communications can be sent out as well via two-way radios, emails, text message, and pagers so that the entire staff knows there is an emergency situation in progress. Every call is logged.
These personal safety devices do not operate on WiFi so that there is no chance the internet will interfere with the signal. Installation of this panic alarm system is fast and affordable. There are no unsightly wires or cables with no I.T. involvement. Symtech offers 24/7 technical support as well as training in our system once installed. Each panic alarm system and emergency button come with a five-year parts and battery warranty. This stand-alone life safety system is installed on premise. Contact us today to learn more!
