What is an anti-aggression button?

The anti-aggression button addresses the risks faced by lone workers in banks, jewelry stores, tellers, counters, small shops and other places welcoming the public. It can be easily and discreetly installed under a counter or desk. Not only does it reassure employees, it also protects them in the event of a threat or physical attack. Indeed, in these environments, professionals may be confronted with acts of incivility from disgruntled or malicious customers. Employers must provide their isolated employees with adequate protection to prevent such risks.

As soon as the employee feels in danger, a simple press on the SOS button triggers an alert. As soon as the alarm is received, the remote monitoring center first notifies the emergency contacts identified by the employer. This may involve a call to the site, so that the employee can discreetly confirm his or her situation using key words. As soon as the situation is confirmed, the remote monitoring center requests the intervention of the emergency services: law enforcement, private security or medical assistance to help the employee in distress.

This type of solution previously required the presence of a central alarm station on the premises. With today's technologies, an autonomous portable or fixed emergency call device can fulfill these functions.

Its low power consumption gives you 5 years' autonomy with no recharging required. Wireless, discreet and silent, it operates without a SIM card thanks to the Sigfox network.
