Workplace Safety Alarms

Workplace safety alarms are one of the first lines of defence for workers in buildings and on job sites. Audible and visual warning devices are designed to alert employees to hazardous conditions or situations that require them to take action.

Lone worker safety alarms are popular as a way to help protect employees when they are working alone, especially in certain professions such as mining and engineering. However, these must be part of a wider strategy for managing lone workers.

Man down safety alarms are a great way to detect and alert lone workers to the risk of falling or being struck by equipment. These systems typically use accelerometers to trigger an alarm in the StaySafe hub if there is a fall or impact event.

They range from simple'shriek' devices that give time to escape, through to monitored, coded personal security systems with a panic button triggered by a worker pressing it.

Employee lockout alarms are also becoming increasingly popular, particularly in environments where employee turnover is high. These systems allow you to control access to your building and eliminate the need to replace keys and keycards.

Fire safety is a major concern at any worksite and this means that you should have a comprehensive fire emergency plan in place and make it known to all your employees. This includes evacuation procedures and meeting points for emergency services to quickly get in touch with you if necessary.
