| Over a million incidences of violence or abuse targeted at lone workers are recorded every year in the UK. Such incidences account for the loss of over 3 million working hours resulting in a direct cost in excess of £30 million and compensation claims from the workforce costing UK employers hundreds of millions of pounds.

Identicom is simple to use, extremely effective and most importantly is always there for the lone worker.
Deliberately designed to look and feel like a normal identity (ID) cardholder, you are assured that the Identicom personal alarm is always with the lone worker and within immediate reach should an emergency arise. Identicom uses mobile phone technology but unlike a phone can be activated in a discreet fashion thereby ensuring no suspicion is raised. Trying to use a mobile phone to raise an alarm can often exacerbate an already difficult situation and may even be the spark that creates an incident.
Once activated Identicom can open a call to the ADT Alarm Monitoring Centre where the call can be managed, recorded, listened to and if necessary escalated to ensure appropriate emergency response. Identicom can also trigger text messages which can automatically be sent to colleagues.
Like an identity badge, the Identicom personal alarm can be worn either in landscape or portrait mode on a lanyard or by using a label clip. This ensures that irrespective of whether a lone worker has removed their coat or jacket and put their bag down, Identicom is still with them – at all times. The lanyard hides a clever ‘rip alarm’, should Identicom be forcibly removed from the wearer then an alarm signal is automatically triggered to the ADT Monitoring Centre.
Identicom will accept any industry sized identity card and can therefore be easily introduced into an organisation. If staff are already accustomed to carrying an identity card for proof of identity or for access around their working environment then Identicom causes no concerns and is unlikely to be forgotten.
Identicom is the definitive loneworker protection device for those facing the threat of verbal or physical abuse during their working day.
