CCTV has been widely adopted in many sectors as a practical, effective, and cost-efficient security solution. CCTV cameras are not only a practical part of security systems in warehouses or commercial facilities, however, but also in educational venues. In this article we discuss the advantages of CCTV in schools.
The measures taken to ensure school premises are safe are never set in stone, and since threats and challenges evolve, so must the response that educational institutions provide.
In schools and colleges, student welfare is of the utmost importance. While emergencies are, thankfully, rare, it is vital that staff can act quickly to protect young people, and occasionally other staff members, from harm. In some scenarios, such as an intruder accessing the premises, a full lockdown may be warranted; in others - for example, a fire - immediate evacuation is essential. In these situations, staff need to be able to communicate quickly and clearly, with each other or site security.
Security in education is a complex issue, with priority often given to physical security systems that aim to prevent intruders from accessing school premises, such as fences, gates, access controls, and CCTV.
When your daily business operations depend on effective communication between staff, equipment failure is costly and frustrating. Regular maintenance of your two-way radios can extend the life of your equipment and prevent unscheduled downtime.
For over two decades, mobile phones have answered the need for instant, high-quality communication, and many businesses have added handsets to their hardware inventories to keep staff in-touch with each other onsite.
In fast-paced working environments, it’s vital that your teams can get things done quickly and on-time. Improving collaboration between employees and departments is an effective way to maximise productivity and improve decision-making, but your staff need the correct tools to communicate instantly and effectively.
Modern hospitals are dynamic, fast-paced settings, in which effective communication is essential in multi-layered teams with widespread clinical specialisms. Two-way radio solutions facilitate fast and effective communication between staff in healthcare settings, improving collaboration between specialists, and ensuring key decisions about patient care are made quickly and openly.
Without a doubt, the highlight of the somewhat diminished sporting calendar of the summer of 2021, the Euro 2020 Final represented a precious opportunity for football fans to escape the all-to-familiar worries of the COVID-19 era for a few hours and settle in to enjoy an electrifying example of the beautiful game at its highest level.
TRBOnet Enterprise and TRBOnet PLUS are market-leading software platforms primarily used in Control Room and Help Desk Environments. Though initially envisioned as an application for two-way radio dispatch in busy retail, healthcare, education, and construction environments, TRBOnet has far outgrown its initial design concept to become an all-in-one platform to connect users across sites, device types and networks.
A ‘lone worker’ is classified as an employee who, although they may be part of a broader team, commonly works away from direct contact with his or her colleagues for extended periods. Examples of this include security staff, cleaning/facilities personnel, forklift drivers, warehouse operatives, healthcare workers, many shift workers and call centre personnel in all industries.
Occupational risks are intrinsic for lone workers, especially in high-risk working environments. Security, retail, warehouse, and healthcare workers – among others – often need to operate on their own, depending on the nature of their industries. Working alone can further increase occupational risks already present, making it crucial for employers to monitor their employees in real-time, and give them a means of instant communication, should they require help.
