We all want to have peace of mind when it comes to our safety or that of our loved ones. A panic alarm, can give you the assurance that help is on the way should the need arise. It can be used at home or in the workplace to protect the vulnerable.

Panic alarm systems will usually consist of a base unit, which is about the size of an average answering machine, and a small button device that can be conveniently worn around the neck, or placed within easy reach. When an emergency arises, all one has to do is press the button and, if a monitoring service is included, it will immediately dial an emergency number, via the base unit.

This allows a two way conversation with an emergency operator, who can determine what the situation requires. They will contact people on your emergency contacts list or call for an ambulance and stay online until help arrives and your loved one is safe once more.

Peace of mind extends independence

Imagine the sense of security and freedom you or a loved one can have with this simple and effective system. Panic alarms can be used for the elderly or for someone with a chronic illness who may be at risk of needing medical attention yet wishes to remain independent. They can also be helpful for those who have had recent surgery and need to stay in bed or who are less mobile.

Panic alarms are generally waterproof and work up to 30 metres from the base unit. This means that you can work in your garden, have a bath or shower or enjoy your swimming pool with the knowledge that you are safe should an accident happen.

A monitored system is exceptional in an emergency stroke situation where time is of the essence. If a person is unable to speak or can’t recall an emergency contact’s phone number, the emergency operator will already have your list of contacts to hand and can make that call, or simply 999 if required.

Panic alarms for intruders and in the workplace

A panic alarm system can also be used in conjunction with a motion sensor to raise the alarm if an intruder has entered the home or to let someone know if a vulnerable individual has left the safety of their home. This can be invaluable if an elderly relative is struggling with Alzheimer’s.

Panic alarms can also be used in the workplace as a silent alarm system in case of danger. This is especially helpful if you have a business that only requires one or two people to be on the premises at any given time.

We never know when an accident will occur but no one wants to live in fear of those “what ifs”. Anyone can feel isolated and insecure, especially living on their own. Having a panic alarm can do wonders in easing those fears and worries. Whether your concern is about home security, having an accident when you are on your own, or worrying about leaving an elderly loved one alone, you no longer have to be anxious.
