The system comprises two elements, the first of which is the SBES Emergency Alarm Point, a fixed alarm point that can contact designated first aiders instantly in the event of an emergency. The alarm is raised at the touch of a button. Upon alarm activation a message is sent immediately, using wireless technology, to SBES Radio Pagers, the second element of the system.
SBES Radio Pagers, allocated to on-site first aiders, will clearly display which SBES Emergency Alarm Point has been activated. This will allow them to reach the casualty as soon as possible.
The SBES Emergency First Aid Call system is easy to install and relatively maintenance free, and can cater for an unlimited amount of fixed SBES Emergency Alarm Points and SBES Radio Pagers. Each Emergency Alarm Point can be named and programmed according to customer requirements.
The SBES Emergency Help Points have completed successful trials in hospital environments, but potential applications are not limited. The system is suitable for many workplace environments where there is a need to notify designated first aiders of an incident quickly and efficiently.
The system is not GSM web- or mobile-network reliant, so is not affected by areas of weak or no signal within a building. It is available as a standalone unit, or can be integrated into any existing SBES lone worker alarm system.
Peter Swan, Managing Director of SBES, said: "Rather than having to go and check a noticeboard or paper roster, first responders can now be reached instantly using the Emergency First Aid Call System. In the event of a serious accident, a faster response could mean that lives are saved”.
