Keeping employees safe is extra important in certain sectors, as people in these types of jobs are generally at higher risk and find themselves in unsafe situations more often. Examples include people in care and the emergency services, in the industrial sector or in (semi) public authority roles.
Unfortunately enough, we’re hearing that the emergency services are increasingly having to deal with aggression and violence while doing their jobs. First responders are not only encountering physical violence, but are also often threatened, intimidated and verbally abused. Ambulance staff, the police and the fire service are prevented from doing their job, even though they are trying to help other people.
In the care sector, nursing staff and care providers also face increased risk, especially when attending to clients or patients in a state of diminished responsibility. On top of that, aggression is occurring more and more frequently while working outside of hospital or care settings. The guarantee that someone will come to your aid with just a single press of a button offers a much greater sense of security and creates safer working environments.
Even if you are less likely to directly encounter any aggression or physical or verbal abuse, you may still face certain risks in the workplace. Examples include the industrial sector, the construction sector, the manufacturing sector or businesses working with hazardous materials or in extreme temperatures. For these situations, X-Guard offers a Man Down system (the RISK button): your mobile phone serves as a motion sensor, and when it detects insufficient movement over a certain period of time (when you have fallen unconscious, for example), it will automatically send an alarm to the X-Guard alarm centre. That way, someone will come to your aid, even when you are unable to raise the alarm yourself. On top of that, there’s no need to worry that an alarm will be sent unintentionally if you go to the toilet or have a break, for example; the X-Guard employee protection system uses a pre-alarm function before an alarm is raised, and you’re free to configure the length of time between the two. The app can also be configured in such a way that the RISK button is automatically switched on (personal protection “On”) or off (personal protection “Off”) when you visit a certain location.
Indien u de genoemde beveiliging wenst waarbij u niet hoeft om te kijken naar de gemaakte kosten voor alarmeren of de inzet van een mobiele surveillant, kunt u het beste kiezen voor een Hoog Risico pakket.
Officers at (semi) public authorities are encountering violence on a more and more frequent basis. The cause can often be found in profound despair and frustration surrounding all kinds of issues involving the authorities. This frustration may lead to violence or threats. Even though the anger is often not personal, the threat is real and appropriate action needs to be taken. Train, tram and bus drivers may also face excessive violence in the early hours. Special investigative officers are authorised to check someone’s identity and issue fines. They are also responsible for parking enforcement at local authorities. If they encounter an unsafe situation or aggressive person (or group of people) while at work, they can use X-Guard to send an alarm to guarantee someone will come to their aid. That way, even the people in charge of public safety are guaranteed to get help when they need it.
During the coronavirus pandemic, working from home became the standard for many people over a long period of time. X-Guard is of the opinion that your safety is paramount at all times. Even when you are working on your own, it is better to work safely. Say you’re at home alone, or you’re the only person working at the office — accidents can still happen or unsafe situations may still occur. You or one of your colleagues might fall unwell in the workplace, for example. If no one is at home or in the building to come to the aid of your colleague, X-Guard is there to help.

The X-Guard Alarm app can also automatically raise an alarm thanks to its innovative Man Down system. There is no need to grab your phone before you can raise an alarm. You can switch on the Man Down system by activating the RISK button on the main screen. From that moment onward, the X-Guard Alarm app will monitor your movement. If insufficient movement is detected across the specified time, your phone will sound and/or vibrate to try and get through to you. If you do not respond to this pre-alarm, an alarm will automatically be sent to the alarm centre. That way, you can rest assured that you are safe, always and everywhere, even when you can’t raise the alarm yourself.
