Fall detection alarms are popular with elderly individuals looking to maintain their independence and reduce falls, as well as workers in environments that present additional risks such as slips and trips.

personal alert safety system Quality fallen alarms must be connected to a 24/7 professional monitoring center in order to guarantee you won't be alone during an emergency situation.
What is a Fall Detection Alarm?

Fall detection alarms provide an automatic call for help when someone falls over, making our core lone worker safety devices the ideal way to help employees trigger emergency calls if they experience a fall or become unconscious without needing to press any buttons themselves.

Peoplesafe devices provide peace of mind and confidence to individuals living alone, and ease concerns for family and caregivers by assuring them that help is only one click away. Their two-way communication feature also allows a monitoring centre to check in with users regularly to assess any needs, as well as avoid false alarms.
How Does a Fall Detection Alarm Work?

Lone workers in construction and manufacturing face an elevated risk of falling when working at height or on uneven surfaces, especially if working alone. A device capable of fall detection can significantly lower this risk while guaranteeing assistance is always at hand when needed.

Fall alarms combine sensors with sophisticated algorithms to detect any movements that indicate someone has fallen, distinguishing genuine falls from everyday activities like walking, eating or scrubbing the floor - so users don't need to be concerned about accidentally setting off an alert while performing daily chores.

Through GPS technology, devices with emergency services provide real-time coordination of assistance for quicker response times than calling for help independently. In addition, users have the power to cancel an SOS alert with just the press of a button if unnecessary anxiety or inconvenience arises among their designated contacts - providing peace of mind all around.
What Happens if a Fall Detection Alarm Triggers?

Once the watch detects a significant impact, an alarm is activated which sends a message to MePACS 24/7 response team as well as providing audible signalling of its belief that a fall has taken place. Users can customize this alarm to notify up to three emergency contacts such as family, friends or work colleagues; their choice remains entirely personalized.

Construction workers, manufacturing employees and those in transportation and delivery services sectors who travel between sites may be especially prone to slips, trips and falls; as such they could benefit greatly from using personal alarms with automatic fall detection technology. Employers could introduce incentive programs for staff using these devices themselves; the tragic case of Matthew Gunn who suffered a seizure on the stairs at Morrisons Tewkesbury store before passing away is evidence of their value.
What Should I Do if My Fall Detection Alarm Triggers?

As with any device that detects falls using movement, there may be instances in which our fall detection devices false alarm, but our customizable settings ensure we minimize these instances as much as possible.
