Derby-based security firm Octavian Security has launched a service designed to keep lone workers, such as security officers and nursing staff, safer.
It will see potentially vulnerable workers carrying a device which both tracks their location, and enables them to send an ‘SOS’ message to the 24-hour Octavian security control centre monitoring them. In case of emergency, they will signal or speak to the control centre, which will then send an officer response team to their aid, and contact the police if necessary. The new system also boasts a “man down” alert that senses when a wearer has fallen.
