Chubb and CriticalArc have joined forces to enable SafeZone®, CriticalArc’s award-winning cloud-based safety, security and emergency management solution to be monitored by Chubb’s 24/7 Graded A1 (Redundant R1A) monitoring centres. Chubb is a part of Carrier Global Corporation (NYSE: CARR), a leading global provider of healthy, safe and sustainable building and cold chain solutions.

The SafeZone App makes it easy for staff members to summon help via a simple tap on their phone, sharing their location, identity and need directly to Chubb’s monitoring centre response team.

Additionally, when a SafeZone App user enters a high-risk environment or is simply working alone, they can check-in using the app. If they are not responsive before a set time, an alert will be activated that will notifies Chubb’s monitoring response team.

This new partnership between Chubb and CriticalArc means the SafeZone solution is now suitable for all organisations, whether they have their own security response team or not. The solution can be configured so all alerts are responded to solely by Chubb, the organisation’s own responders or a combination of both.

The SafeZone solution is scalable and can be configured as a simple lone-worker check-in and duress-based smart phone solution or a complete holistic emergency management solution, including mass notifications, analytics and indoor positioning capabilities depending on the organisation’s requirements.

SafeZone uses cloud-based, SaaS technology, so it can be deployed in days and will deliver a highly scalable distributed command and control environment that connects SafeZone users with a response team in real time.

This solution was recently deployed into the Australian Taxation Office (ATO) to manage the security and safety of its staff working in both its offices and in the field. SafeZone solution puts ATO’s front-line staff directly in touch with Chubb’s monitoring centre response team, allowing for immediate assistance at the touch of a button when required.

“Chubb’s integration of SafeZone at our Monitoring Centres has established a new benchmark for organisations to protect their staff and streamline operations, which is easy to use and quick to deploy,” said Joshua Simmons, managing director, Chubb Monitoring Solutions.

The SafeZone solution offers the capability to direct alarms to Chubb’s 24/7 monitoring centres, ensuring a consistent, fast response to protect an organisation’s most important asset, its people.

“As a result of this partnership between CriticalArc and Chubb, tens of thousands of public and private sector workers are being protected by SafeZone,” said Darren Chalmers-Stevens, managing director, CriticalArc. “Now organisations of all sizes, from small enterprises to major corporations, will be able to provide enhanced protection for their people, nationwide.”

Chubb and CriticalArc will demonstrate the combined offering at the Security & Government Expo on Thursday, Nov. 12, 2020.
