With
the palm-sized Skyguard 500 personal protection
unit, employees in threatening situations
can call for help from Legion's 24/7 emergency
response centre, where the nature of the
emergency and the precise location is
instantly analysed by experienced Controllers
and the appropriate help mobilised immediately,
police, fire, ambulance or one of a fleet
of over 1,000 emergency response vehicles
operated by Legion's partner Nikaro.“
In
practical terms an employer becomes open
to litigation when the management is aware
of a risk and knowingly puts in place
a system which is insufficient when there
is a known alternative,” explained
Derek Smith, Legion’s Business Services
Director. “By choosing the
Skyguard system companies will demonstrate
that they have taken the protection of
lone workers seriously.”
For
organisations whose employees work alone
at times and are vulnerable to attack
or accident, the Skyguard lone worker
protection service can help companies
in their duty of care towards their employees.
As well as providing valuable protection
for staff, it can also protect companies
against potential court proceedings in
the event of an accident or attack.
