Emergency Man Down & First Aid Call Buttons
Save lives in an emergency or first aid situation with call buttons
When considering an emergency or first aid pfs call button system it is vital to ensure that what is being considered can actually operate with all the important features that can save lives. This might sound obvious, but there are many PFS call buttons available and some compromise the very thing that they are supposed to protect on-site - lives! There are quite a few pre-requisites that are really essential for any type of system that can protect people and create fast responses when there is an accident or emergency. Consider the following aspects necessary for any good emergency or first aid calling button solution that really have to be present:
- The ability to operate from mains or battery or both; If mains driven, will the system work without power?
- Can the button integrate in to other equipment; Some solutions can integrate in to fire alarm systems as an example
- Does the chosen button system need other technologies to operate; Bluetooth or Wi-Fi could be a problem in a severe emergency situation
- Can the call button or PFS repeat once it has been initially pressed?
- Can the calling first aid button message a group or everyone?
- Does the calling button support a cancel mode so that employees can be stood down once the call is addressed?
These are just a few of the important questions that should be considered when choosing any type of first aid or emergency PFS call button system. Other things to consider might include questions about the supplying company that is selling them? How financially sound are they? And is the technology current? Or is it over complex (something that might be confusing in an emergency or first aid situation).
In a first aid or emergency situation staff need to be on the scene immediately. If someone gets hurt or seriously injured time moves on quickly from that point. And what if the company does not have the solutions in place to give emergency help and someone was to pass away? The company, and in particular the CEO or Directors and others would be liable under the corporate manslaughter act and could face a prison sentence at the very least here in the UK. Fortunately LRS brings a great on-site communications system to solve those issues before they happen.

How the Pronto works:
The Pronto 6 button device has 6 programmable buttons. As shown above, These buttons are often used for many different things and in the example those uses include 'Lockdown', 'First Aid', 'Security', 'Parts Availability', 'Maintenance' and 'SHEQ' (which was particular to that company. So maximum return can be achieved for the investment. The Pronto can send a message to any LRS or CT text pager on-site and signal boosters are available for extended range on-site.
Once a button is pressed (let's think first aid in this example), a text message goes out to the first aid team instantly. Members of the team will know where to go from the message. When the first team member arrives, they will determine the level of emergency and if it is superficial, the team member will deploy the cancel feature on the pronto call button. This will send out a message to the other first aid team members to stand down. Alternatively, if it is a serious even then the team member that arrived first does NOT cancel the button. In this case further messages are automatically sent to the remaining team members.
This system works so well for a number of reasons:
- Simple to use
- Robust devices
- CE, UKCA and RoHS compliant using OFCOM allocated frequencies
- No underlying technology to operate (system does NOT use Wi-Fi or Bluetooth
- Automatic repeat messages
- Group messaging is pre-programmed - everyone is on the same sheet!
- Secondary types of messages can be used on other buttons maybe for backup.
As a relatively low cost solution it is very hard to find something better that 'ticks all the boxes' for anything like the price. And we backup these PFS call button systems with a 3 year warranty against manufacturing defects.
