Panic alarms are an essential tool for security and lone workers, providing a quick and reliable means of calling for help in emergency situations. Panic alarms can alert security personnel or emergency responders to an incident in seconds. This can help to prevent or minimize harm, as quick action is often critical in emergency situations.
