In healthcare and assistance
safety at the touch of a button
Unfortunately, we hear more and more often that care providers have to deal with aggression and violence while carrying out their work. Aid workers not only have to deal with physical violence, but are also threatened, intimidated and verbally abused. Ambulance personnel, police and fire brigades are hindered in their work while they try to help other people.
In healthcare, the risk for nurses and care providers is also high, especially when working with clients or patients who have reduced accountability. Aggression is also becoming increasingly common in outpatient/extramural work. The certainty that you will be helped at the touch of a button gives you a safer feeling and provides a safer working environment.
Personnel security in industry
Safety at the touch of a button or through fall detection / man-down
Even if you are not directly confronted with aggression or physical or verbal violence, you may still be at risk in your workplace. For example: industry, construction, in factories or if you work with hazardous materials or in extreme temperatures. X-Guard has one for those situations man down system (the RISK button): your mobile phone works as a motion sensor and if it does not detect sufficient movement for a certain period of time (for example if you have lost consciousness), an alarm is automatically sent to the X-Guard alarm center. This way, help will come to you, even if you are unable to send an alarm yourself. Moreover, you don't have to worry about an alarm being sent unintentionally when you go to the toilet or take a break; the X-Guard personnel protection first gives a pre-alarm that you can set in length yourself, before the alarm is raised. In addition, the app can be set so that the RISK button is automatically switched back on (self-protection "On") or off (self-protection "Off") when you are at a certain location.
