Active Guard Combines 5 Security Functions

Active Guard is the First Patrol System in the World Combining 5 Functions into 1 Device:

• Guard Tour : The ActiveGuard Patrol System enables full monitoring of mobile worker time and attendance in Real Time. All data is transmitted through GSM networks.
• Lone Worker : The PANIC button allows immediate communication with a control room in case of emergency - tremendously improving the safety and security of your employees.
• Radio/Phone : The control room can call employees in order to reassure them that assistance is at hand or advise of missed patrol points.
• Live Alerts : Panic Calls or unfinished patrols are flagged immediately to Management or a Monitoring Centre Control Room

ActiveGuard has secure 2 way voice communication - so why use an expensive and fragile mobile phone?

• ActiveGuard users cannot make calls although they can let supervisors know they need a call by pressing 'Call Me' button.
• The monitoring station operator can call ActiveGuard anytime in the same way as a mobile phone.
• Each ActiveGuard unit is programmed to answer calls ONLY from authorised numbers.
• No need for Check Calls - ActiveGuard acts as a check call system to verify the staff member is on-site.

Controlling the risks of solitary work.

Although lone workers cannot be subject to constant supervision, it is still an employerÕs duty to ensure their health and safety at work. Lone workers should not be at more risk than other employees and face particular problems. Some of the issues which need special attention when planning safe working arrangements are;

• Does the workplace present a special risk to the lone worker?
• Is there a risk of violence?

Procedures need to be put in place to monitor lone workers to see they remain safe. These may include:

• Supervisors periodically visiting and observing people working alone;
• Regular contact between the lone worker and supervision using either a telephone or radio;
• Automatic warning devices which operate if specific signals are not received periodically from the lone worker, e.g. systems for security staff;
• Other devices designed to raise the alarm in the event of an emergency and which are operated manually or automatically by the absence of activity;
• Checks that a lone worker has returned to their base or home on completion of a task.

The Active Guard System covers 4 out 5 of the above points laid out in the Health & Safety Executive leaflet, it is therefore of paramount importance to consider the system for a lone worker, particularly when many security guard duties carry a risk of violence.
