Response Speed Matters

The right personal staff duress system keeps teams safer—and turns seconds into savings.

  • Lower Cost Per Incident

    Must be able to silently and discreetly activate the panic button.

  • Lower Staffing Volatility

    Panic activations must notify law enforcement officials directly.

  • Stronger Enterprise Posture

    Panic activations must activate emergency communication systems.

Comprehensive Safety Needs a Duress Layer

Comprehensive strategies work best; yet, many hospitals focus funding on lighting, cameras, weapons detection, access control, and security, while overlooking staff duress and leaving critical response gaps.

Current Strategies Leave a Gap

  • Observe, don’t alert
  • Help is hard to reach.
  • Not discreet.
  • Risk of escalation.

Staff Duress Tools Fill the Need

  • Easy to activate alerting.
  • Always within reach.
  • Discreet, silent activations.
  • Supports de-escalation.

Implementation Determines Impact

Evidence and national guidance agree: the tool isn’t the outcome—how it’s introduced, supported, and sustained is. Programs falter when devices are awkward, education is lacking, or responses are uncertain.

  • Leadership ownership. Clear accountability and visible support.
  • Staff-centered design. Ergonomic and discreet under stress.
  • Flexible. Partnered. Customizable and integrated, with ongoing guidance.
  • Run and optimize. Regular training, clear targets, continuous improvement.
