Support for sales staff
October 1st 2008 Taylor Wimpey has signed a
national agreement with
Rocksure Systems for its
Peoplesafe lone worker
service. The devices have
been distributed throughout
the George Wimpey and
Bryant Home Regions and
will be used by the
company's sales personnel.
The device resembles a
normal ID holder but is
packed with the latest
mobile technology. It
enables a lone worker to
discreetly raise an alarm if
threatened and allows a
third party to listen to what
is happening and record
events, whatever the
distance. The device can
also support the pinpointing
of a worker's location using
GSM/LBS technology.
A lanyard attachment
enables it to be worn around
the neck as a standard ID
and hides a 'rip alarm'
function, which is triggered
if the unit is forcibly
removed.
Users press a 'checking in'
button to notify the
monitoring centre when they
know they are entering a
potentially hazardous
situation.
If they have cause to
press the red alert, operators
retrieve information on their
locality, listen in, and coordinate
appropriate
support. More articles from Rocksure Systems Ltd: |
