Chubb, one of the UK’s leading fire safety and security solutions providers, hosted an educational webinar for customers on 13^th July about the importance of prioritising safety everywhere across their organisations, including lone worker safety. The one-hour webinar shared valuable insights into how to enhance the personal safety of individuals in large organisations that have multiple sites and diverse teams and showcased the SafeZone™ Enterprise Solution – the award-winning solution which is revolutionising the way businesses manage safety and security across their operations.

Stuart Purton, Head of Sales Training at Chubb, was joined by two key spokespeople from CriticalArc – the leading technology innovator responsible for designing and developing SafeZone, as well as Guy Miller, Deputy Security Manager at Kent Community Health NHS Foundation Trust, who shared real-life examples of using the Enterprise Solution of SafeZone and how it helped the Trust achieve its health and safety goals. “Protecting people first is one of our core values at Chubb and a fundamental pillar for many organisations. Under the Management of Health and Safety at Work Regulations, employers are obligated to manage the risks to lone workers,” said Stuart Purton. “With CriticalArc, we have developed a solution that offers large organisations with multiple and often complex sites the peace of mind that their people are protected – regardless of where they might be.” “Organisations are increasingly concerned about safety, security and well-being of their people, wherever they have a duty of care.

Through Real-time Coordination and Response, SafeZone empowers organisations to respond faster and more effectively to incidents of any scale”, said Cavan Kendall, Sales Director at CriticalArc. “The Enterprise Solution can be enabled across the healthcare setting, offering personal safety to a wide range of people, including lone workers, field workers, healthcare and care workers visiting patients and remote workers of all types,” added Andy Rowe, Customer Success Team Lead – EMEA at CriticalArc. “It is far more than a lone worker solution, it is a unified emergency management, safety, security and well-being support solution that all large organisations, regardless of their sector, should consider.” 

Last month Chubb and CriticalArc won the Security Project of the Year Award at the prestigious Fire & Security Matters Awards for the innovation and improved staff safety outcomes delivered to Kent Community Health NHS Foundation Trust through the implementation of SafeZone. During the webinar, Guy Miller shared how the Enterprise Solution has helped the Trust improve staff safety, mass and targeted communications, and emergency response coordination. He said, “Since implementing the app, we have benefited from rapid emergency assistance for our Trust’s 5000+ staff – including lone workers out in the community – with specialist help available regardless of the workers’ location.

Our senior managers have found that the technology has delivered far-reaching efficiency benefits – just a couple of examples include better workforce management and improved communication and coordination between local care teams and their team leaders.” He continued: “Chubb’s 24/7/365 alarm receiving centre ensures seamless monitoring and support for our healthcare teams at night, maintaining an uninterrupted response, even when the Trust’s security team is not immediately available. When needed, Chubb’s controllers provide fast and effective advice for our staff requesting help and contact the appropriate emergency services when further assistance is required.” To find out more about Chubb’s SafeZone Enterprise Solution, visit: www.chubb.co.uk/safezone
