How safe do your staff feel at work

SafetyNet Custodial provides the peace of mind your staff deserve

We’ve recently launched new product which combines SafetyNet Digital, SafetyNet Locator and SafetyNet Mesh into a fully integrated solution – SafetyNet Custodial.

SafetyNet Custodial grew from a requirement to provide a new personal alarm for the prison service using the latest digital technology, integrated with TETRA radio equipment and indoor location.

We’ve been supplying the prison service with secure communication systems that ensure staff safety since 1996 and SafetyNet has become the control room standard, with over 150 systems installed throughout the UK.

SafetyNet Custodial provides all staff on duty with a personal alarm used alongside and integrated with the site-wide radio system under control room management. Protect+ is a simple, compact personal alarm unit used by support staff, with prison officers using TETRA radios in parallel. TETRA radios are enhanced by adding a module to provide personal alarm and location functionality.

A network of beacons provide Protect+ and TETRA radios with indoor location information combining the benefits of TETRA digital radio and IoT technology. The new system is both futureproof and scalable allowing existing system to be upgraded.

Combining SafetyNet Protect+ personal staff alarms with the TETRA radio scheme provides up to date and accurate situational awareness using both visual and audible alert to all users on duty in the event of an incident, as well as integrating that information with other systems on site such as CCTV.

 

What are the highlights of SafetyNet custodial?

  • Robust coverage for critical communications
  • Real-time location monitoring for assistance to be despatched to an exact location.
  • Continuous tracking or location by alert or request
  • Integration with CCTV through the main control system for a quick, targeted response

As experts in critical communications, we understand that by providing staff with the tools to feel totally safe at work, they can give 100% to the job in hand.

With nearly thirty years’ experience of designing private mobile radio systems, we understand that every application is different, so please contact us for a no-obligation discussion of your requirements.

SafetyNet Protect Plus – the small alarm with a big impact​​​​​​​

When safety is paramount to your team, we know you have to reassure them that they’re safe when they’re carrying out their duties and the SafetyNet Protect plus alarm is a physical reminder to them that help is just a tap away.

SafetyNet Protect+ was developed for prison and secure home applications but is equally relevant in the protection of others working in potentially confrontational or hazardous roles, particularly lone workers.

 

So what does SafetyNet Protect Plus do?

  • Provides location updates via SafetyNet™ Mesh, a network of routers and beacons, with beacons located at key points in a defined area.
  • Provides continuous tracking data or to provide location data only when the alarm is activated, depending on the application.
  • Provides an accurate shock measurement for fall and no movement man‐down detection, which will raise an alert if the alarm button is pressed, a rip cord is pulled, or if it senses rapid movement or no movement at all.

Tracking of SafetyNet™ Protect+ units and alarm activation are managed centrally by SafetyNet™ Software. When a Protect+ alarm is activated the control room is alerted and all SafetyNet™ Protect+ devices on the system sound an alarm and receive messages with specific instructions, e.g. attend/don’t attend, including location information if required. The alarm will continue to sound until cancelled centrally in the control room.

SafetyNet™ Protect+ is designed to monitor people within a defined indoor area. The system can be used in any indoor situation but is especially useful in areas where achieving reliable GPS or Wi-Fi coverage is challenging.
