The potential man down or person down situation happens when
a remote or high risk worker is alone isolated and away from his base office
and other workers. It can happen due to some or other injury, accident,
slipping or falling, or in cases where he or she is attacked by another person.
The risk of working alone or in isolated places can also happen where you have
to interact with unknown people, which is an integral part of that specific job
role. There can also be simple situations which can go out of hand in a second,
like when a person trips over an electric cord and falls losing his
consciousness due to a head injury resulting from the fall. It can also be that
a person is handling a huge machine and due to machine malfunction, a hand gets
stuck in the machine. These are all situations that cannot be predicted
beforehand and safety measures taken accordingly. And these are the situations
that define a man down state.
There can also be health related problems, and a sudden
heart issue, or a heat wave attack which also incapacitates a person. There are
organizations that are taking this issue seriously and providing their workers
with a man down alarm which is a GPS GEO Guard duress alarm, and instantly sends signal to the
office or the backend center, from where help is dispatched immediately to the
location of the accident or emergency to help the person in duress. There are devices in the market that acts as an
alarm button, and is being adopted by companies for their lone workers and giving
excellent results. These alarm systems act as the safety line for all the isolated
worker and lone worker, high risk worker and also doubles up as an individual
Emergency duress and evidence data collection device. This is a three way
warning system that cuts out the irritating false alarms, making it easier for
the business that it is not wasting money and resources chasing a false
emergency alarm. It is also good for the workers as it is hundred percent
reliable and only works in a real time situation.
Be it from the Grab alarm, Impact alarm,
Person/Man down alarm, these alarm systems have live one or two way voice and
audio system that are very important in case of a man down situation because it
gives off the exact GPS location of the person in distress. Once the location
is identified then it will open up a Live Voice channel where the backend operators
are extremely qualified and trained to listen to a circumstance and react in
accordance to the escalation process and emergency procedure that a particular company
might be having for each individual person. GPS GEO Guard duress alarm therefore is a high
tech device that has a Man down safety alarm device which is the only device available
in the market with over fifteen features assembled all in one device so it is
not required to have multiple devices or different machines to keep track or
monitor lone workers.
