Alarm centre sets the standard
October 1st 2009 Provider of Lone worker care, Argyll
has welcomed the adoption of the
new British Standard BS8484 for
Lone Working. The new standard
redefines Lone Worker device and
alarm receiving centre compliance
and as an experienced provider of
lone worker services, Argyll was
regularly consulted during the
development in close co-operation
with the Association of Chief Police
Officers (ACPO), the British Security
Industry Association (BSIA) and the
NHS Security Management Service.
In anticipation of the standard,
Argyll has constructed a brand new
state-of-the-art BS8484 compliant
Alarm Receiving Centre (ARC) at its
headquarters in Dunoon, Scotland.
The ARC is operational 24 hours a
day, everyday and is constructed to
comply with the complementary
British Standard BS5979 Cat II
specification required to obtain
police response to lone worker
alarms. More articles from Argyll And The Islands Telecom Ltd: |
