Mobile solution
February 1st 2008 Mobile phones programmed
to provide 24/7 lone worker
protection have helped staff
visiting tenants in their
homes stop two incidents
turning nasty.
The housing staff, used
Code5 lone worker protection
from Orbis Monitoring to
summon help and to record
the incidents for use as
evidence.
Speed dials are put on to
two keys on the phones. One
puts users through to a
message recording facility at
the response centre. The
other, a panic alarm, puts
users through to highly
trained operators who access
the recorded information,
verify the user's location
using network cell location
(LBS) and send the
appropriate help to the
scene. As well as enabling
users to record where they
will be next, the recording
key can also be used to signal
that the user has returned
safely from an appointment. More articles from SitexOrbis Limited: |
