How does SafeTCard work? SafeTCard is supported by an Alarm Receiving
Centre. Through the discreet press of a button, an
audio link is established. A qualified member of the team can listen to your situation and arrange for further escalation as necessary. Which worker benefits most from an SafeTCard? All types of workers without direct or close
supervision can benefit from the device. Through the
Incapacitation Alarm, SafeTCard can detect trips and
falls, while the discreet ID badge design allows you to
raise an alert in cases of abuse or attack without
further aggravating the situation. What happens in an emergency? After a Red Alert is raised, the Alarm Receiving
Centre initiates audio recording and delivers an
appropriate response given the situation. Where
appropriate, a priority response will be requested for
a lone worker, in line with the accreditation sitting
with the ARC. Additionally, the employer is notified
appropriately. How will I know that someone is listening to my Red
Alert? When the Red Alert is activated, the device vibrates
at regular intervals, like a heartbeat. This is discreet
and cannot be heard or felt by anyone else. You can
be assured that the Alarm Receiving Centre is
listening to your Red Alert. Factors that increase environmental risks for lone
