Personal Safety Alarms

Personal safety alarms are a useful device for anyone who needs to feel safe while on the go. They can be used to contact emergency services, scare off attackers and thieves, or if you just need to get help quickly. They are a good option for people who live alone, vulnerable employees, lone workers in the public sector, and even if you’re travelling abroad.

The most important factor to consider when selecting a personal alarm is how loud it is and how easy it is to activate. You should look for a device with a siren that can reach up to 120 decibels, which is much louder than thunder and more in the same league as a police siren. They should also be very easy to trigger, as a simple pull of the pin is enough to start the alarm and attract attention.

Some devices come with an inactivity monitoring feature that can notify your escalation contacts (like a carer) if you don’t use the device for an extended period of time. This can be especially useful for elderly users who are more likely to fall or experience another health issue, as this allows them to get help as quickly as possible.
