Skyguard, the personal safety service for lone workers and at risk people has launched MySOS Mandown – a personal safety device fitted with a sensor which automatically raises an alarm to the company’s Incident Management Centre (IMC) in the event of a fall or sudden impact.
Identical in design to the MySOS, the Mandown variant comes with all of the features of its predecessor, and with a Mandown sensor. The feature is for if the user falls, suffers from a medical condition or is physically assaulted and knocked to the floor and may not be able to raise an alarm manually.
Upon alarm activation, the information and location of the user will go to Skyguard’s UK-based, 24-hour manned IMC. Skyguard’s controllers will listen in, using the device’s two-way audio, assess the situation and summon response. All audio and actions are digitally recorded, in case the incident goes to litigation.
The Mandown function can be permanently enabled or disabled, or manually activated, depending on user requirements.
Fully certified to BS8484:2011 – the British standard for lone worker device services and audited and approved to ACPO’s ‘Secured by Design’ award, MySOS Mandown replaces Skyguard’s GEMshield personal safety alarm which was launched in 2009. The GEMshield was used by over half the UK’s police forces the firm reports.
Skyguard’s CEO, James Murray said: “Since the initial launch in 2011, the MySOS has been an overwhelming success. However, there is a demand amongst some employers for a fall detector function for their highest risk lone workers. We’ve listened to those demands, responded accordingly and the end result is the evolution of the MySOS. This re-affirms Skyguard’s commitment to delivering the very best lone worker protection solution in the UK and Europe.”
