By GlobalDataMHC safety specialist Traci Pekovitch said: “Having the Silent Beacon provides an added layer of security and expedited communication in the event of an incident and increases ease of communication no matter where they are.
“Associates utilise the footsteps feature and communicate feeling safer knowing their supervisor knows where they are. Even for those that don’t opt in, they verbalise the appreciation for having the option and are encouraged [that] leadership invests in associate safety.”
Silent Beacon’s wearable panic button supports MHC’s mission by keeping workers safe.
The company also provides safety solutions for professionals across emergency response, healthcare, government, education, construction, retail, real estate, and hospitality sectors.
