Man-down detection June 1st 2007 Corporate Manslaughter
legislation, due to become
law in June, focuses
attention on lone workers
and a company's legal and
social duty of care to
provide staff with safety
equipment that reduces their
working risks from both
attack and injury.
Connexion2 has launched
Identicom I770, with mandown
detection, which
addresses both types of risk
and provides employers with
a means of reducing their
exposure to the costs of
insurance and litigation.
Identicom I770 provides
the benefits of the existing
Identicom product, and has
the capability for a manned
monitoring centre to be
alerted, manually or
automatically, in the case of
user injury or incapacity.
Signal processing
technology analyses tilt,
immobility and any sudden
impacts, in combination
with non-response timed
alerts. This, in addition to a
rip alarm and discreetly
operable manual call button,
helps detect an employee in
difficulty and raises an alarm
across the GSM network,
while minimising false alarms. More articles from Connexion 2 Ltd: |
