Who we protect – Construction

The building block of safety.

Overview

Hammering home safety at work

Construction companies face significant challenges in ensuring staff safety. The inherently hazardous nature of construction sites, with risks such as falls, equipment accidents, and exposure to harmful substances, demands rigorous safety protocols. Ensuring compliance with safety regulations, providing ongoing training, and maintaining effective communication channels are crucial to mitigating these risks and safeguarding workers’ wellbeing.

How construction workers are using PanicGuard

PanicGuard enhances safety on construction sites by providing immediate emergency alerts for accidents and injuries, ensuring swift assistance. Workers can report hazards anonymously, promoting proactive safety measures.

Immediate response for accidents

In case of an accident on-site, workers can use PanicGuard to quickly alert emergency responders and site supervisors. The app provides real-time location details, ensuring rapid assistance and improving the chances of timely medical intervention.

Safety compliance check-ins

PanicGuard facilitates regular safety check-ins where workers can confirm adherence to safety protocols. This ensures continuous monitoring of safety practices and helps identify areas needing improvement.

Lone worker protection

For construction workers operating alone or in isolated areas, PanicGuard offers lone worker protection features. They can set up periodic check-ins and emergency alerts, ensuring they remain safe and connected even when working independently.

Evacuation coordination

In the event of an on-site emergency requiring evacuation, PanicGuard helps coordinate the process by sending real-time alerts and instructions to all workers. This ensures an orderly and efficient evacuation, reducing confusion and potential injuries.

We have so many features packed into the PanicGuard app.
We’ve got so much more to show you.

Evidence Capture

When raising an Alert, the app can automatically start your smartphone’s camera and microphone to capture real-time evidence of the situation around you. Your emergency contacts can access this evidence real-time, as well as being saved in the cloud for later use.

Journey

Journey allows your users to set a start and end point. The app then automatically monitors your journey and alerts your nominated contacts and once you safely arrive or trigger an Alert.

Meeting

The Meeting Timer allows users to feel safe when going into a potentially dangerous meeting or performing a dangerous task. A user set timer will countdown until deactivated meaning the user has to mark themselves as safe, otherwise raising an alert.

Alert

By simply holding down the hexagon button for 3-6 seconds, this sets off an alert and activates the phone’s camera, sending a message and recording to your pre-defined emergency contacts. With our upgraded app, these Alerts are sent to a 24/7 police-approved monitoring centre too.

Privacy

Choose when and when not to share your location. Our smart phone app makes it clear when the app can access your location in times of need. Control what and when you share your data.

24/7 Monitoring

Through our global partners, we can offer round-the-clock monitoring to ensure continuous protection and immediate response to any emergency.

Check In

The Check in feature allows users to regularly confirm their location and safety, providing peace of mind and ensuring timely assistance if needed.

Ghost Mode

Ghost Mode enables users to activate discreet protection removing their live location from the management dashboard until needed.

Reporting Tool

The Reporting Tool facilitates detailed incident documentation, making it easy to capture and share critical information.

Mass Communication

The Mass Communication capability allows for the swift distribution of alerts and information to large groups, ensuring everyone stays informed and safe.
