Chubb And CriticalArc Announce Global Partnership To Deliver SafeZone Cloud-Based Safety Solution To Chubb’s Customers

Chubb’s global business and CriticalArc have joined forces to enable SafeZone, CriticalArc’s award-winning cloud-based safety, security, and emergency management solution to be offered to Chubb customers through its connected services offering, Chubb VisiON+. Chubb is a part of APi Group, a global business services provider of safety and specialty services.

The investment by both companies in the development of a streamlined, cohesive offering delivers far-reaching benefits to customers. As a key supplier in the remote monitoring sector, Chubb has been extending support for its service with more fluid, hybrid working models.

CriticalArc’s SafeZone offers new capabilities

CriticalArc’s SafeZone provides powerful new capabilities, with its ‘Safety Everywhere’ concept

Meanwhile, CriticalArc’s SafeZone provides powerful new capabilities, with its ‘Safety Everywhere’ concept, helping organizations comply with standards such as BS8484 in the UK for lone worker safety.

SafeZone lets them manage the safety of their people wherever they have a duty of care, regardless of geography, with a whole suite of services from lone worker emergency assistance and real-time location services.

24/7 security monitoring

SafeZone, supported by Chubb, is designed to bring peace of mind to all individuals 24/7, either working at an office, remotely or both, regardless of whether their employers have their security response teams. The solution can be configured, so all alerts are responded to solely by Chubb’s expert monitoring team, the organization’s own responders or a combination.

Because of this, the solution is suitable for a wide range of people including field workers, healthcare and care workers visiting patients, and remote workers of all types. It can also be used by universities to protect students, the government, and healthcare associations.

SafeZone, cloud-based solution

An app-based solution, SafeZone makes it easy for users to call for help via their smartphone and to share their location in real-time with operators, at Chubb’s security monitoring centers. In critical situations, they will be directly connected to the appropriate response team, for the most efficient emergency assistance.

Integrating Chubb’s global scale and local expertise with SafeZone’s cloud-based, SaaS technology, helps enterprises and organizations with large sites to instill confidence in employees’ personal safety. Customers further benefit from Chubb’s consistent and fast response monitoring teams, bolstered by SafeZone’s highly scalable distributed command and control environment.
