Why Your Business Needs a Panic Alarm System by Connect Security
- Cost-Effectiveness – Many businesses spend lots of money on the safety and security of their goods, but not on the safety and security of their employees. However, if an employee gets hurt on the job, or worse, the cost skyrockets. A panic button at your place of business can summon help quickly when 9-1-1 can not be called from a phone helping you save lives and the cost of damage.
- Protection From Threats Within – Businesses put up many security systems to prevent criminals from entering the building: security cameras, motion sensors, and more. But what if the threat comes from within the business from someone who is already inside, a coworker, or a trusted delivery person? A panic button can help greatly in such dire situations.
- Workplace Safety – A panic button near the cash register, strategically placed around the workplace, or even on your manager or person in charge can allow a call for help within seconds of an emergency: allowing greater workplace safety both for employees and customers.
- Lone Worker – With Coronavirus/COVID-19 pandemic and increasing employees working from home, resulting in increasing lone workers working in the office/workplace, a panic alarm system can give him/her a great sense of security. Employees who feel safe at work perform better.
