Worker Safety

‘Man down’ feature ensures worker safety in the event they have suffered a fall or accident by dispatching an alarm to the appropriate operator group when the device detects lack of movement, horizontal tilt, or both.

Theft Prevention

Radio alert capabilities and having radios on staff can act as a physical deterrent.

Staff Location

Increases ability to locate staff members in larger facility spaces through radio contact, significantly reducing man hours.

Outcomes of Body Worn Cameras to Enhance Retail Worker Security

Various roles in the retail industry can pose a combination of health and safety hazards, particularly in terms of undertaking physically demanding tasks, through to the increased risk of violence and harassment that stems from working in a publicly accessible environment.

Product Quality for Increased Performance
