Chubb Fire and Security, one of the life safety service providers is this week attending the Annual SafeZone EMEA Conference taking place in Birmingham, UK. The award-winning event connects business pioneers with experts like Chubb, to share innovation, best practices and how they operate with SafeZone solutions.
Chubb has partnered with CriticalArc on the SafeZone application since 2021. Forming part of Chubb visiON+ offering of connect safety services, SafeZone powered by Chubb combines an emergency management solution with Chubb expert team and 24/7 monitoring.
Security response teams
The integrated service is suitable for all organizations, whether their staff are traveling, working on site alone, commuting or within a hybrid structure. Companies without security response teams can rely on Chubb monitoring teams for direct management, advice and assistance during crisis, wherever you are. This has been particularly relevant in the healthcare and education sectors, where Chubb and CriticalArc have already provided essential security support.
SafeZone is already in place at the Kent Community Health NHS Foundation Trust
SafeZone is already in place at the Kent Community Health NHS Foundation Trust, where its use has reduced costs and enabled the establishment of a much more powerful infrastructure, now that the lone worker function is in place.
The technology was acquired through the UK Government Cloud 12 Framework and is being delivered in partnership with Chubb UK.
Rapid emergency assistance
The service will help provide rapid emergency assistance for the trust’s staff, with specialist help available regardless of the user’s location, with SafeZone pinpointing checked-in users and enabling control room operators to coordinate faster responses.
Chubb’s 24/7 lone worker alarm receiving center will ensure seamless monitoring and support at night, maintaining uninterrupted response even when the trust’s in-house security team isn’t available, the organization explains.
Chubb’s trained team of operators will provide advice for staff requesting help and contact the police as needed. The trust is also supported in this venture by Kent Police, developing their existing well-positioned and collaborative working partnership.
Access specialist advisors
SafeZone will also provide opportunities for staff to leave push messages
SafeZone is also expected to improve communication and coordination between care teams and their team leaders.
Encrypted communication for the teams and their members will allow the trust to develop communications between teams within the same directorate, and to access specialist advisors when required.
SafeZone will also provide opportunities for staff to leave push messages and report low level incidents to specialist advisors and this is a direction the trust security team is keen to explore.
Best practice solutions
Frederic Peyrot, Customer Innovation and Solutions Director at Chubb said: “We are delighted to be attending the SafeZone conference in the UK as a strategic partner for SafeZone. The conference provides an excellent platform for industry leaders to connect and share best practice solutions for employee security.”
Frederic Peyrot adds, “The SafeZone solutions, produced by CriticalArc and developed in collaboration with Chubb, are revolutionizing worker safety in critical sectors like healthcare and education where business continuity has a meaningful societal benefit. We look forward to continuing to work closely with the CriticalArc team to expand the offering.”
