Powering Social Worker Safety with Intelligent Alert & Monitoring Tools

Social service professionals face a higher risk of workplace violence. SolusGuard’s integrated system—combining wearable panic buttons, a mobile safety app, and real-time alert monitoring—ensures that help is instantly available when needed, protecting your staff in the field.

Unlike basic alarm systems, our platform offers two-way communication and real-time check-ins, ensuring that every alert triggers an immediate, coordinated response. This means supervisors, security teams, and emergency responders receive critical information promptly, enhancing overall safety.

Decreased risk of escalating aggressive behavior. Reaching for and pressing mounted buttons or triggering alarms sends a clear signal to the aggressor that the individual feels threatened. This can cause aggressive behavior to escalate faster. The discrete nature of pressing a silent wearable button allows the individual to call for help without signaling to the aggressor that they feel threatened. 

When an alert is triggered—whether through the wearable panic button or a missed check-in—our system instantly notifies designated contacts and emergency responders. This rapid communication minimizes delays and helps secure a better outcome during emergencies.

Standalone panic button devices connect directly to a cellular or wifi network whereas smartphone enabled buttons leverage your phone's network connection to send out alerts. This makes standalone devices more reliable if the user doesn’t have a cell phone with them throughout the workday but comes at the cost of being more inconvenient to carry/wear, more frequent charging requirements, and additional monthly fees for cellular data plans.  

Our platform provides detailed reporting and real-time data, simplifying the process of demonstrating compliance with federal and state/provincial lone worker safety regulations. This comprehensive documentation helps reduce liability and meets safety standards.

With a significant number of social service workers reporting inadequate safety measures, implementing SolusGuard creates a secure work environment that boosts employee confidence. A safer workplace leads to higher staff morale and improved retention.
