––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––<br />
Give staff the power to hit a duress button on their personal<br />
smart phone or tablet in case <strong>of</strong> emergency. This<br />
allows for emergency personnel to immediately find<br />
your location via GPS tracking and share your emergency<br />
event with other management personnel. The<br />
personnel at Freeport have referred to this as the “get<br />
me out <strong>of</strong> here” button where help is just one touch<br />
away – highlighting the importance <strong>of</strong> safeguarding all<br />
employees both remote and on-site. Push notifications<br />
on the smart application allow for reliable and speedy<br />
delivery times. No data-plan necessary.<br />
